Mashability to Mashups

jim wilde — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 16:01:29 +0000

The NY Times has an interesting article about mashups - Do the Mash (Even if You Don't Know All the Steps) "POP music has its mash-ups that combine tunes and vocals from different songs. YouTube viewers do it, too, mixing together segments from various music videos."Anyway, these mashups are happening all over the place using wikis, blogs, collaborative tools, and social networks.

"The good and bad Of Web 2.0 tools", By J. Nicholas, IT News

It once bet its collaboration strategy on Microsoft tools. It's expanded to consider more Web 2.0 tools, but getting them implemented and used is far from easy.

Why Do Good Managers Set Bad Strategies?

Here's an interesting article from Wharton with Michale Porter, the strategy guru. (reg req)

Mr. Porter makes an excellent point with, "...it is important for everyone in the organization to understand the strategy and align everything they do with that strategy every day." Too bad most employees don't have a clue to what strategy is or how it relates to their daily work activities.

Creative Collaboration - "We-think"

jim wilde — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 15:17:14 +0000

There's a new online book from Charles Leadbeater about creative collaboration. I snagged a couple of paragraphs from his site/blog because it jibes with what we've been yaking about, less eloquently, here, here, and here for the last three plus years. "People want to be players not just spectators, part of the action, not on the sidelines. "

"Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration"

jim wilde — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 21:33:03 +0000

Interesting piece from MIT Sloan about enterprise social networking software. I suppose the uptick or rate of adoption for businesses will accelerate in 2006 and 2007. LOL We've been spouting off about corporate social software, web 2.0 stuff for over three years to businesses that remain clueless. Of course, it's great to see Mr. McAfee introduce and explain Enterprise 2.0 (social-software, web-2.0) concepts in terms, hopefully, managers will GET.

P&G Connect and Develop Innovation Model

jim wilde — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:10:42 +0000

We believe the ability to communicate and collaborate with people both inside and outside the company is a key business differentiator.

The connect and develop innovation model is one we whole-heartedly embrace since it blends ideas from inside and outside of the organization. We call them mashups. We've been helping business managers and team members establish those models for the last four years using what we learned working with open source software communities and using website services..

How Online Social Networks Benefit Organizations

jim wilde — Wed, 08 Mar 2006 20:30:57 +0000

For any employee, manager, founder, et al, I strongly suggest that you read what Ms. Kimball and Mr. Rheingold have to say about social networks and try to figure out (call us) how to get started using one in your orgainzation. I think it is great that Mr. Rheingold back in 2000 was championing social networks in organizations. The funny thing is, it took a bunch of kids on myspace to bust social networks wide open. From what I can remember, the same scenario played out with the adoption of instant messaging.
