Enterprise 2.0 case study: Cisco

I strongly recommend this long article on Cisco transformation and outstanding business model. A strong case study on enterprise  2.0 and collaborative management. I highlighted the most interesting portions of that 6-page article (I use Diigo to bookmark, highlight and organize key-articles). You find my shorter version under "web highlights/enterprise2.0" in the central column of this blog. Enjoy.

Collective Intelligence 2.0

[click 'view>full' to enlarge] This picture shows the ecosystem which I'm trying to develop on my new vertical blog to enhance a collective intelligence in the tv & new media business. This is also a tentative model for information workflows in an open world where every stakeholder inside and outside the company contributes and interacts thus maximizing the global knowledge in a specific field.

4 outstanding Management Books

I've read those 4 books recently. All of them are brilliant in their category. They describe new management practices for the 21st century. The Long Tail is about the digital economy and its brand new business models. Blue Ocean Strategy details how to leave the bloody red oceans of competition and instead create uncontested market spaces where the competition is irrelevant. Wikinomics is on the new collaborative management 2.0 inside companies and with their partners. Last but not least, Blog Marketing is on the new communication 2.0 inside companies and with customers by leveraging blogging platforms.

Business Communication with Twitter and Co (part 5: ideas)

In the previous posts, I commented on the current utilizations of Twitter. This simple but efficient communication tool will lead to a multitude of new business models and applications in the near future, with great potential for both single users and groups, and especially for companies. The tool can be easily combined with other applications so as to create powerful mashups. Twitter can be combined under others with maps, pictures, video, voice-to-text apps and Excel (RSS feeds are supported in Excel, Excel being a gateway to ERPs). And of course Twitter might become an advertising platform, some people in the twittersphere are currently heavily discussing on the subject, including top bloggers Michael Arrington, Robert Scobleizer and Darren Rose. What I think could be interesting and easy to do apps for companies:
<sales> merchandizing (Twitter+Maps+geolocalization): real time shop overview on a map
<sales> order taking (Twitter+Voice-to-Text+Excel+ERP): real time order taking overview, consolidated and per salesrep
<sales> merchandize stock overview (Twitter+Excel+ERP): real time stock availability to drive the sales on shop level
<projects> project management (Twitter+ToDoList+Calendar+Planner): real time management with deadlines tracking and alerts
I feel Twitter is a good tool to manage businesses where speed and flexible communication are required. I personally find it interesting to interact with the salesteams so as to track the competition movements and the stock + business variations in the market (e.g. TV business). I wanted to implement it in my previous company but unfortunately there was strong resistance to change as it is often the case in large organizations.
