A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
In the recent past I have been blogging over here a couple of times already on some of the amazing piece of work that BASF (disclaimer: An IBM customer) has been doing over the course of the last year or so on becoming a Social Business and behave and act as such. Living Social is … Continue reading How connect.BASF Helped BASF Become a Social Business
June is just around the corner and, once again, that can only mean that one of my favourite times of the year for conference events is about to kick off as well. Yes, that’s right! Once more, and like every year, the Enterprise 2.0 event in Boston is approaching really fast and before you know … Continue reading Social Business Forum 2011 – On Collaboration by Luis Suarez
One of the main inhibitors with regards to a successful adoption of social software within the enterprise that I keep bumping into from fellow knowledge workers and, specially, their managers!, is that perception that social networking, you know, “things” like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like are just for fun. Social spaces where you goof … Continue reading Social Networking Gets Serious – #prayforjapan
Over the last couple of days, two rather interesting, and noteworthy, articles over at Technology Review, written rather nicely by Erica Naone, have been making the rounds out there on Social Web around Enterprise 2.0 and the successful transformation of becoming a social business altogether and I thought I would spend a few minutes talking about … Continue reading Social Business Begins by Unleashing Your Business Talent
Yesterday evening, my time, I attended a rather interesting webcast with Sandy Carter, IBM’s Worldwide Sales Vice President, IBM Social Business, Collaboration, and Lotus Sales and Evangelism, along with Jeremiah Owyang, Industry Analyst at Altimeter Group, on the topic of Why Be Social?. It surely was quite an interesting event and, if you would be … Continue reading Making Business Sense of Social Media and Social Networking – Twitter For Business

Then a day or two to catch up with the … Continue reading IBM’s Lotusphere 2011 Highlights – Get Social, Do Business!
Continuing further with the series of blog posts on highlights from IBM’s Lotusphere 2011 event in Orlando, FL, a couple of weeks back, I thought I would go ahead today and share with you folks what, to me, was one of the major highlights from the entire week, which is, basically, sharing some further insights … Continue reading IBM’s Lotusphere 2011 Highlights – People-Centric vs. Content-Centric by Louis Richardson
What an exciting 10 days it’s been so far! Absolutely wonderful! Rather difficult to forget and still musing about them, even if that meant that I would not be getting more than an average of 4 to 5 hours of sleep every single day, except for this past weekend that I decided to take it … Continue reading IBM’s Social Business Jam – Are You Jamming Yet?
As it’s happened over the last few years, it’s that time of the year where I am starting a new season of business travelling and very soon I will get things going, once again, with my yearly pilgrimage to Orlando, FL, to go and attend Lotusphere 2011. And this year, if I were to describe … Continue reading IBM’s Lotusphere 2011 – Here We Come!
