A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
As part of the Social Business HR Trasnformation this category will deal with all of those conversations around the topic of Employee Engagement, HR Transformation and Social Business
Over the course of the last few years, and with the emergence (AND convergence) of social networking tools for business, cloud computing, big data and social analytics (amongst several other buzzwords and hyped concepts), we are starting to see that growing trend of shaping up one other key concept from today’s business world: our own economy. … Continue reading The Connection Economy – The One to Rule Them All
You know that moment when you realise that everything you have done in the last 5 and a half years has not been really worth while at all and forces you to go through a massive hard reset, challenging your main core beliefs, in terms of what has motivated you quite a lot in this … Continue reading Life Without eMail – Year 6, Weeks 1 to 20 – (Back to Basics)
Social Analytics. Don’t you just love it? Oh, metrics, what would we do without you in the business world, right? They are the main reason, apparently, of our mere existence in a corporate environment. And, lately, attempting to measure the Return On Investment of Social / Open Business has been grabbing most of attention in the … Continue reading Open Business – The Narrative vs. The Ruthless Measurement
It looks like this is the year of Transformation, of Change, of Thinking Forward -out of the box- in terms of what may well be awaiting us in the next 5 to 10 years, within the corporate world, trying to figure out what next. Or, better said, where to next. You would remember how at the … Continue reading Welcome to the Era of Radical Openness

So I wondered where were they? Well, … Continue reading The Future of Open Business At Stake

As I have mentioned in a recent blog post, you would remember how I have now moved into a new job role within IBM, as Lead Social Business Enabler for IBM Connections (both internal and external), where I am much more heavily involved with IBM’s knowledge workers’ own adoption efforts of social business and social … Continue reading Open Business – From Adoption into Adaptation
Fascinating topic, don’t you think? And here we are, still in 2013, and already thinking about what the workplace of the future would be like by 2020. Well, one thing for sure is that it won’t be anything like we have today or what we may have had over the course of the last 50 … Continue reading The Future of Work by 2020
I am not too sure whether meetings lower our IQ or whether they make us all more stupid, as my good friend Stowe Boyd reflected on a recent blog post, but I can certainly confirm they do take a toll on your own productivity. Specially, when those meetings are not set up by you, but … Continue reading How Social Networking Can Improve Work Meetings
In a work context, I have always been fascinated by transparency. And, lately, even more about radical transparency.
