A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
One of the interesting things that I have been exposed to over the course of time, specially, as more and more knowledge workers embark on their own journey of using social networking tools in a business context is how there seems to be this notion that we are almost done with that digital transformation. Meaning … Continue reading Digital Transformation – It’s Just The Beginning
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
A couple of years back, Giovanni Rodriguez put together a guest blog post over a ReadWriteWeb on the topic of Enterprise 2.0 Adoption: Does It Have To Be So Hard? and it’s rather interesting to see how almost three years later the challenge seems to be there still, alive and kicking: Social / Open Business Adoption is hard. … Continue reading Social Business Adoption – The Laggards, The Critics and The Skeptics
If you look into the corporate world of today, I am sure you would be able to identify a whole bunch of rather cringing and devastating business problems that somehow we keep trying to solve, but fail miserably in the attempt.

You may remember how in previous articles that I have put together over here in this blog I have mentioned how, lately, I am going through one of those stages, where instead of participating rather actively in a good number of various different social networking sites, I’m now more inclined towards plenty of reading and … Continue reading State of the Net 2012 – People Tweet Tacit Knowledge – Part One
Over the course of the last few weeks and months you may have noticed how there seems to be a growing trend of concern with regards to where the world of social networking and the Social Web, in general, is heading and how the original premise of wanting to change the world for the better … Continue reading Transforming the Workplace with Radical Management by Steve Denning
One of the things that I am enjoying the most about the impact of the Social Web in our businesses is its innate ability to keep humanising the corporate world and be capable of getting away with it with little effort.
