March 27, 2013

The 2013 edition of the Enterprise 2.0 Summit was held last week in Paris. A great opportunity to have a clear vision of where we stand today in terms of implementation of collaborative technologies in the enterprise and how it transforms the way we work, the way we manage and the way we collaborate.
A great organization by the Kongres Media crew (Bjoern Negelmann, Thomas Koch), featuring many speakers we haven’t seen much in France : Euan Semple, Sandy Carter and Dion Hinchcliffe. The case studies were very insightful as they covered many different industries (Amadeus, Sonae, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, Van Marcke, SNCF …).
The format of work sessions made it very dynamic : one or two 15 minutes case studies and then discussion with the panel and the audience. Not to forget the Management Hackathon (more on this in a dedicated post to come) or Lego Games (hence the photo) as brilliant collaborative initiatives … Read the rest of this entry »
Enterprise 2.0 Summit is just around the corner (20-21 Mars in Centre National des Armées in Paris). A great opportunity to meet the worldwide #e20 mob with the likes of Jon Husband and Dion Hinchliffe joining the european list of usual suspects (Emanuele Quintarelli, Bertrand Duperrin, Anthony Poncier, Mark Tamis, Luis Suarez or Lee Bryant).
Within the scope of the E20 project management excellence track, I will moderate a panel : Social Process and Collaboration Design on Thursday. This will be with Emanuele and Anthony as panelists and Joao Gunther Amaral (Sonae) and Anna van Wassenaer-Golla (Favela Fabric) as speakers, telling us their stories. The objective is to provide perspective on what should be considered to enable a company-wide social collaboration and for which process and collaboration type social collaboration infrastructures provide the most added value?
The key questions to be addressed will be :
- What should be considered to enable a company-wide social collaboration?
- Adhoc collaboration and defined business processes – what’s the added value of social collaboration models to these workflow paradigms ?
- For which process and collaboration types social collaboration infrastructures provide the most added value?
See you there !

Enterprise 2.0 – The French Touch
October 25, 2011
(Click to display e-book)
At long last we are delighted to present the english version of the french Enterprise 2.0 white paper.
This collaborative e-book is available online and has been coordinated by Anthony Poncier. His idea was to gather people with different backgrounds and responsibilities in the knowledge economy to offer different perspectives on the social business topic. I’m glad I was lucky enough to contribute to this remarkable initiative.
Big-Up to Frédéric Dormon who took care of graphic design and, obviously, to Anthony for being relentless, for sharing his vision and for his leadership on this project. His introduction to the book and the cast below …
Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston
June 17, 2011
I’ll be attending the 2011 Edition of the Enterprise 20 Conference in Boston.
Many great speakers, many vendors and the opportunity to meet IRL some Enterprise 2.0 superstars I’ve been discussing with via Blogs, Twitter and Facebook for a couple of years.
Very excited about the whole thing. I will surely blog in length about it so stay tuned and see you there if you’re around.
(See the #hypertextual wrap-up of the conference).

What a great post by Luis Suarez : Forget about Social Strategy, think about Social Philosophy in which Luis invite us to join the Hippie 2.0 movement. Though I fully agree with him, I won’t because together with the S word (as A. McAfee wrote) this is exactly what scares C-suite out of E20.
Luis is upset that Social tool adoption is slow and that executives are hesitating. My take is that he shouldn’t wary too much as they eventually will adopt these tools.
The main question is not the When but the How. Because adopting Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) does not necessarily mean achieving Enterprise 2.0 …

The Enterprise 2.0 conference was held in Boston in mid-June.
There are many interesting feedbacks on the topic. Most importantly it seems to emerge some kind of convergence : Enterprise 2.0 is mature enough now so we need to talk about “getting real” i.e implementing it successfully in the company.
That was the good news.
The bad news is that the best way brought forward for implementation is to integrate Enterprise Social Networks (ESN) with existing process to make the implementation successful. Oh dear.

As Enterprise 2.0 activists, we keep on trying to sell Enterprise 2.0 as the ideal solution for your organisation.
But to be completely honest, depending on your company objectives, values and culture it may just not work.
10 principles your company may have adopted that will make Enterprise 2.0 implementation counter productive … Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been thinking about this Scott Berkun article for a while : Calling Bullshit on social media.
This is a question I’ve always asked myself whenever preparing a blog post or a presentation on Enterprise 2.0.
Sameer Patel defines Enterprise 2.0 as the enterprise state once it has implemented social media inside the organisation. So we’re spot on the topic, and the question is how to make sure we don’t get carried away and start BSing while evangelizing enterprise 2.0 ?
Ten questions to ask yourself while preparing your homework to make sure you don’t get caught by the @berkun and the @dahowlett of this 2.0 world … And Hypertextual ten answers to convince myself I am not that BullshitCallable.
Enterprise 2.0 : less control and more leadership
May 18, 2010

Bertrand Duperrin (a main inspiration of Hypertextual …) makes an interesting analogy in his post Will Adam Smith drive business in the future ? His take :
(…) Opposing a top-down and directive model an emerging relying on the existence of an “ invisible hand” that, in the same way as Adam’s Smith theory in economics, would make people personal actions and choices contribute to a collective purpose without the need of organizing anything.
I guess the difference between the enterprise and the market is that within the former, people (ideally) are working with the clear goal of collectively creating value and making the company richer. While in the latter the goal is to individually create value to make oneself richer.
Bertrand then sets a table comparing Enterprise 1.0 (strict), 2.0 (anarchy) and Rationalized 2.0 (ideal organisation).
My take : Bertrand’s Rationalized 2.0 is Enterprise 2.0 with a strong and clear leadership. The invisible hand in Adam Smith Enterprise is the leadership. Read the rest of this entry »
How Enterprise 2.0 nurtures employees engagement
April 5, 2010

Towers Perrin has published the results of a Global Workforce Survey they made about employees engagement. The survey has involved about 90,000 people over 18 countries. The objective was to rate the level of engagement of the people in their work.
People are split into 4 groups depending on their level of engagement :
- Engaged: Those giving full discretionary effort, with high scores on all three dimensions.
- Enrolled: The partly engaged, with higher scores on the rational and motivational dimensions, but less connected emotionally.
- Disenchanted: The partly disengaged, with lower scores on all three components of engagement, especially the emotional connection.
- Disengaged: Those who have disconnected rationally, emotionally and motivationally.
What Towers Perrin found out does not give much credit to management : only a fifth (21%) of the workforce is engaged, twice as much (41%) feels enrolled, a third (30%) feels disenchanted and almost a tenth (8%) feels disengaged. Read the rest of this entry »

Big up to Kongress Media (Thomas Koch, Bjoern Negelmann) for organising such a superb event in Paris. Both ON (the conference) and OFF (parties in the evening) were fun and it was so nice to hang out with Enterprise 2.0 people (@bduperrin @flapinta @cflanagan @an_elm @tlg @ceciledemailly @tdebaillon @gculpin @aponcier) in real life.
Local Consulting firm NextModernity (Bertrand Duperrin, Richard Collin) acted as moderator and contributed to make the whole thing casual yet focussed.
Great organisation, great speakers but most of all : great real life projects feedback. Featuring : Claire Flanagan (CSC – multi-awarded project), Anu Elmer (SwissRe), Jérôme Poujardieu (Dassault Systems), Fabrice Poireaud Lambert (Lyonnaise des Eaux), Nicolas Rolland (Danone), Julien Le Nestour (Schlumberger), Jean-Paul Chapon (Alcatel Lucent) et Jane McConnell (NetStrategy).
A high number of common best practices have naturally emerged. Here are 10 of them : Read the rest of this entry »
