Race Against the Machine
Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee of the MIT Center for Digital Business and the Sloan School of Management have written an interesting book for our times — our economic times — with an appealing metaphor that any technologist will appreciate. Race Against The Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming […]
Enterprise 2.0: Seeing from the Back Forward
Okay, before I begin, a confession. I just spent 3 days at the Enterprise 2.0 2011 confab in Boston – and didn’t attend a single event that I didn’t do. But I have several excuses and I think that I’m still qualified to write what I’m about write. First, I participated in 4 events, the […]
Time For Enterprise 2.0 To Get Enterprisey
The funny thing about “Enterprise 2.0”, or social business software, is that it’s not very enterprisey: yes, it is deployed in enterprises, but it often doesn’t deal with the core business of an enterprise.

I received a review copy of Andrew McAfee’s Enterprise 2.0 just before Christmas, so I added it to my book pile as an extra Christmas present. Thank you Andrew and the publisher, HBS.

Resistance to change: The real Enterprise 2.0 barrier
Large organizations continue to embrace Enterprise 2.0 as a viable addition to their business process toolbox, however resistance to change remains a challenge.
A Conversation with Andrew McAfee
Andrew McAfee is known as the father of Enterprise 2.0. In 2006 he wrote the paper “Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration,” which for many of us gave a single point of reference for the work being done in enterprise social software and “Office 2.0” until then. Since then Enterprise 2.0 has started to come of age, and I thought the Enterprise 2.0 conference in San Francisco would be a perfect opportunity to sit down and discuss the past and future of collaboration, social software and business strategy.
