Women in Tech: Susan Scrupski
My friend, and I use that term in its true confidant sense, Susan Scrupski was recognized by Fast Company magazine for being one of the most influential women in technology. I am very proud of her for this recognition but more so for all the hard work she had devoted herself to which this list […]
Dachis Acquisition Machine Reaches the 2.0 Adoption Council
Emerging Enterprise 2.0 Consultancy the Dachis Group has just acquired The 2.0 Adoption Council. I have mixed feelings about the deal. On one hand I am happy for Susan Scrupski, fellow Enterprise Irregular and E2.0 evangelist / thought leader. On the other hand I would have preferred to see the Council remain independent – I’ve […]
The 2.0 Adoption Council is now part of The Dachis Group
What? Wow! How come?
History
Let’s begin at the beginning. The beginning of the social business (r)evolution didn’t begin in with web 2.0, it began with web 1.0 in the mid-90s. From research I published in 2000, we wrote this about the company Jeff founded in 1995, Razorfish:
Razorfish’s vision states, “Everything that can be digital, WILL be” The company […]
Enterprise 2.0: The Next Narrative
Enterprise 2.0 was launched in the spring of 2006 as a result of Andrew McAfee’s case study interviews in 2005 on Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (DrKW), an investment bank in London. The story unfolded after he and his team studied the work of J.P. Rangaswami, who was then Global CIO of the bank. It’s sometimes surprising to me […]

Don’t Lose Yards in the E20 Super Bowl
It’s that time of year again and everyone in the USA has Super Bowl Sunday on their minds. It occurred to me that common penalties in American football have a lot in common with penalties for rolling out an Enterprise 2.0 strategy and deployment.
Here’s a quick chalk talk for e20 evangelists everywhere who are trying […]
Kicking off the 5Ws of e20: Who, What, When, Why, and How?
Enterprise 2.0 is maturing, but most practitioners (even veteran players whom we could classify as “innovators”) agree that the opportunity for Enterprise 2.0 is still in its infancy. I saw affirmation of that today on member Laurie Buscek’s post this morning, “Enterprise 2.0 Candy Store.” The good news is there are many, many more Enterprises moving […]
If Social Media will be like Air, Enterprise 2.0 will be like Carbon
The year I transferred from a small, liberal State college to the ginormous State University, I started the fall semester with a bevy of difficult subjects: Chemistry, Calculus, Introduction to Philosophy, and Abnormal Psychology. When I showed up for my first day of Chemistry, little did I know I had entered the wrong classroom. I was […]
Social is as Social Does
By Susan Scrupski on April 9, 2010
One of the greatest joys of owning your own business is you get to break the rules when it’s warranted.
