Disrupting Today's Workplace - Part One

Disrupting Today’s Workplace – Part One

By Michael Fauscette on June 11, 2014

I laugh every time I write the title “future of work”, I mean, how presumptuous can one document / post / presentation be to outline the entire future of work. I’m going with “disruption of work” for this one. Oh well, titles aside, it’s a topic that I’m extremely interested in, and have been looking […]

Converging on the Social Enterprise

Converging on the Social Enterprise

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 8, 2011

I was in San Francisco last week for Dreamforce, the yearly confab for Salesforce that has had a major focus on social business the last couple of years. There’s little doubt that Marc Benioff clearly sees the very near future of business, and it’s something he calls the social enterprise. While you can read my […]

Organizing for social business: The issues

Organizing for social business: The issues

By Dion Hinchcliffe on May 17, 2011

How best can employees and managers adapt to today’s changing and increasingly social workplace? This has become one of the central questions as organizations look at social computing as a new primary channel in their organization, both amongst their workers as well as for their customers and business partners. While we often see traditional areas […]

Social Business and the Command & Control Excuse

Social Business and the Command & Control Excuse

By Sig Rinde on February 8, 2011

A few days ago I had the usual pleasure of reading one of Euan’s posts, where there was one paragraph that triggered something in my mind: “On the same day I get an email from a senior official in a government job saying “I’m beginning to think that the inherently democratic nature of social media […]

He Was Disruptive, Send Him Packing

By Bob Warfield on November 21, 2010

Heard about an executive recently departing a large Enterprise Software Company, “He was disruptive.” I don’t know the man, but couldn’t help but wonder.  “He was disruptive,” has been the epitaph for many a career. But why are they disruptive?  It isn’t just for the sheer cussedness of being disruptive.  Not at an executive level.  They were […]

Introducing The Social Business Unit

Introducing The Social Business Unit

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 29, 2010

One of the trends that we clearly see this year is that organizations are taking stock of all their social media efforts, internally and externally. Usually they are trying to get beyond the initial learning years and the resulting early chaos to determine how they should best be structured to deal with what has become […]

Application flexibility and the tree pose

Application flexibility and the tree pose

By Thomas Otter on June 9, 2010

Cross posted on my Gartner blog. As some of my readers know I’m a keen but slow amateur cyclist. It is a sport that doesn’t really lead to flexibility, the opposite in fact. I need to stretch if I’m going to have any sort of suppleness, so I have made a conscious decision to stretch […]

The IT Industry’s Shame

By Vinnie Mirchandani on March 9, 2010

The last few months have been joyful. I have had a chance to mingle with a number of innovators as I wrote my book. Many are focused on the Grand Challenges the word faces – environmental, engineering etc. It is…
