Social Media - nouns but no verbs

Social Media – nouns but no verbs

By Sig Rinde on April 6, 2011

Practical use of Information Technology seems to follow the same maturity trajectory as languages. But being a young phenomena IT still has a way to go: It has the words in place, i.e. the data model is often precise enough,…

Gamification?

Gamification?

By Sig Rinde on March 23, 2011

"Business" is nothing but "Social Networks"

By Sig Rinde on November 24, 2010

We have a plethora of hugely successful cloud based social networks, but why only fulfil banal social needs? Those way up in the Maslow pyramid kind of needs. Why stop there? [This was inspired By @dahowlett’s post the other day so a thankful nod his way!] Let’s step back: What happens when people mingle, in […]

Hat tip to Eapen Thomas who pointed me to this year’s commencement speech at Stanford’s School of Medicine given by Atul Gawande. Here is an excerpt of what he told the graduating class: We’ve been obsessed in medicine with having…

Fixing Greece

By Sig Rinde on April 16, 2010

I’ve been chirping about how automating the flow part of workflows, by adding a proper IT based process framework to BRPs, would suggest a possible 67% increase in World Wide GDP. But I completely forgot an important issue; Corruption and…

Disregarding BRP is like being long on subprime CDOs

Disregarding BRP is like being long on subprime CDOs

By Sig Rinde on April 13, 2010

Now and then. If you, as a developer and vendor of products, create a new product that has the promise of value for your customer you’re onto something. Say going back a few years starting up Facebook or creating the…

Enterprise Apps User Interface - the wrong discussion

Enterprise Apps User Interface – the wrong discussion

By Sig Rinde on March 10, 2010

Imagine an Enterprise App with UI design lifted from World of Warcraft? A tad gothic? But games work, kids dive into them in droves and never seem to scratch their heads. Electronic games now being a bigger industry than the…

Process Engine + Social Media -> Thingamy & ESME

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. I have to admit to being a sceptic, still viewing such as mainly single-task tools with little or no process and mostly lacking any way […]
