Jacob's Lifestream - Filed under 'Enterprise 2.0'

Stranger things have happened...

Dad, iPhone/Apple fanboy, beginning guitarist, runner, Enterprise 2.0, collaboration/communication.Working as a Windows sysadm, with primary responsibilities towards Exchange, OCS, Sharepoint.

I think all the friggin' time, and I get way too many ideas I want to execute in real life, but either don't have the time or competency for. So I try to pick the ones I can execute, or find exciting enough that I may gain the competency to execute.

Enterprise 2.0/Social Media is definitely something I want to get more into. Not because it's hot now. But because it's useful, and has enormous potential to change how businesses do business.

I hope you find my blog, and the links I share, useful or funny. Maybe even inspiring. Who knows ?

In any case: Welcome :)

A Primer in Employee Engagement and Enterprise 2.0 : David Zinger Employee Engagement

From none of our business to it is our business. The use of social business software or Enterprise 2.0 tools for collaboration are growing within organizations. The challenge is to fully engage employees with these tools while ensuring their engagement in the tools is contributing to the value and values of the organization.

Historical overlaps. Having been very involved in social media for 6 years I see many parallels with the development of blogs and other social media tools. I will be writing regular posts on engagement and Enterprise 2.0.

Slide into Enterprise 2.0. As a visual introduction here is a well designed slideshow created by Acando Consulting out of Stockholm Sweden.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Email : Andrew McAfee’s Blog

In fact, I think it’s time for Enterprise 2.0 enthusiasts to give up their frontal assault on email – their war on words (it’s your father’s technology, it’s a dinosaur, it’s where knowledge goes to die) and their attempts to build and/or deploy replacement technologies.

I respectfully disagree Mr. McAfee.

Email is great for knowledge transport. But as soon as that knowledge needs to be persisted and/or shared, email fails horribly.

And therein lies the E2.0 frontal assault. People need to wake up and realize that email is good for something, but a very specific something.

What Is The Cost Of Thinking? | The Relationship Economy......

Your boss says”Our competitors are stealing our customers using this social media stuff. We need to use this stuff and do it better than our competitors and we need to do it NOW!”

You are then tasked with “doing it” but you have no experience or knowledge of what to do. So you look for help and find an outside resource whom supposedly has the experience and knowledge to know what to do. You bring the option of hiring this person to your boss and they ask about the cost and what will they get from using this resource. You tell your boss the cost but aren’t sure exactly what it is you’re going to get. Then your boss says “I know we need to do this but I don’t know what it is or what we’ll get from it”.

How can a company put value on something they don’t understand? How can they understand if they have no reference to “think about it”?.
