A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
In a work context, I have always been fascinated by transparency. And, lately, even more about radical transparency. I have always believed that if we would have been, all along, a whole lot more transparent in what we do in the corporate business world, the vast majority of the problems that we are currently suffering from, … Continue reading Radical Transparency in the Era of Open Business
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
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

All along, just like we did with Knowledge Management from the very beginning, I … Continue reading Just Do The Right Thing by Rachel Happe

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
Or, to put it in other words, automation of your social networking presence.
