WIIFM on Working Socially?

WIIFM on Working Socially?

By Susan Scrupski on November 14, 2013

Let’s be honest: change bites!  Most people do not like change.  Change brings uncertainty, a loss of security and control, a fleeting feeling of helplessness, and even panic.  Helping large organizations embrace disruptive change is a tall order.  What’s needed are roadmaps, play books, guidance, intelligence, patience, and a little inspiration.  But, change can be […]

Social Business Beyond Kumbaya: How Enterasys Networks Strengthened Their Serve

Social Business Beyond Kumbaya: How Enterasys Networks Strengthened Their Serve

By Louis Columbus on January 4, 2013

I’m skeptical of the many promises social networks make of how their platforms will transform companies and the world easily. Colleagues and my own experiences in enterprises tell me the exact opposite.  Change is very difficult, time-consuming and often the most expensive area of any enterprise software project.  That’s the acid test I use when […]

Beyond FB IPO

By Denis Pombriant on June 10, 2012

The next bright shiny objects I was so looking forward to getting the Facebook IPO out of the way and then splat, like a ripe tomato in the kisser, we have to learn that the underwriters might not have shared some pre-IPO information transparently.  Enough already!  Bankers appear to be tone deaf to the fallout […]

Enterprises must change or die, says Benioff

Enterprises must change or die, says Benioff

By Phil Wainewright on September 14, 2011

We’ve heard this message before from Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff, of course, but it was delivered with some especially gruesome imagery in a Q&A session with media and analysts at Cloudforce London today. Answering a question about companies that don’t embrace Salesforce.com’s message of the social enterprise, Benioff warned: “They’re not going to be around […]

The promise and challenges of Benioff’s social enterprise vision

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 2, 2011

Summary: Salesforce’s Marc Benioff continued his now-epic stream of social business thought leadership at this week’s Dreamforce 2011 in San Francisco. The messaging was certainly world class and the slew of announcements this week will address many of the shortcomings or feature gaps in its social software product line. But is a company whose roots are […]
