Thingamy with ESME points to where enterprise 2.0 is heading
By David Terrar on January 8, 2010
Yesterday I got the “lowdown” on how Thingamy, which Sigurd Rinde describes as a “Work Processor”, has just been connected to ESME, the microsharing and collaboration platform.

Process Engine + Social Media -> Thingamy & ESME
By Sig Rinde on January 7, 2010
Image by Now I’m Always Smiling via Flickr For a long while I’ve been keeping an eye on the E 2.0, collaboration and social media efforts meant for enterprise use.

Building by taking apart
By Sig Rinde on September 22, 2009

Think I nailed it
By Sig Rinde on September 8, 2009
One single model for all Barely Repeatable Processes: IMCI, OODA and uttering of eureka! Most of this summer I’ve been busy building real world pilots, process model templates for Thingamy that is. When implemented and tested (such radical stuff) always…
