E L S U A ・ A blog by Luis Suarez
A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
In a weblog post that I have shared over at elsua – The Knowledge Management Blog in ITtoolbox some time ago around the subject of Using Wikis in the Enterprise Intranet Tim Bartel shared an interesting link that I also thought would be of interest for the folks over here in elsua. It is actually … Continue reading Wikis in Enterprises Survey – Collaborative Working in Enterprise Environments Using Wikis
A couple of weeks back Paul Gillin created a post over at his weblog (Paul Gillin’s blog – Social Media and the Open Enterprise) that I found an interesting read and worth while commenting but that up until now I didn’t get a chance to. The weblog post itself is titled The Future and you … Continue reading The Future of Social Media
Working remotely, or distributedly, in an effective manner, is hard work. It always has been, no doubt. In fact, I would dare to state how, over the course of the last 2.5 years, since the pandemic started, we don’t seem to have learned much about it, because, time and time again, we seem to keep … Continue reading Myth Busting – Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Work
Apparently, innovation can only happen within the four physical walls of an office. Who knew, right? Or, at least, that’s what we have been told by certain people, once more, as another false narrative that demands we all get back to work, i.e. back to the office, if we would want to continue pushing for innovation to … Continue reading Myth Busting – Innovation Can Only Happen at the Office
Remember when Social Capital was cool back in the mid-90s at the same time Knowledge Management (KM) was in fashion? Remember when we decided to kill both just a few years later, as we purposely defaulted to focus, almost exclusively, on business processes and technology, leaving behind the people component from the good old KM … Continue reading Myth Busting – Can’t Build Social Capital with Remote / Distributed Work

I suspect it’s also a different one for each and everyone of us. However, when thinking about Office Culture, there is a single keyword, … Continue reading Myth Busting – Office vs. Remote / Distributed Culture
I just can’t believe I have written the above as today’s blog post title. Really? Flickr? As last refuge? Is it still around? Do people use it? I don’t know about you folks, but I can confirm vast majority of my social networks from over the years don’t. They are nowhere to be seen in there … Continue reading Flickr – The Last Refuge
I am grateful LinkedIn has, finally, managed to open up my eyes and leave behind the lab rat race it’s become over the years. I am grateful it has pushed me over the edge and facilitated, for good, my return to this blog. It only took me 4 years to realise it’s no longer the … Continue reading How to Stop LinkedIn’s Toxic Algorithmic Manipulation
As a result of this blog post, a good number of you folks have been asking me, over the last couple of days, whether I still see the value of Twitter or not. Frankly, if I had discovered it just about 7 years ago, my answer would have been a resounding ‘No!’ And yet? You … Continue reading Things I Terribly Miss in Twitter
Once upon a time, there was work. Then, the office. After that, remote work started to grab some more momentum by the day with the emergence of different technologies. From there onwards, distributed work became the new-normal before we could even blink! And, finally, all of that was followed by the hybrid workplace. Phew! What a ride, eh? I have … Continue reading Differences between Remote and Distributed Work – All about Power, Symbols and Rituals!
