Digital Transformation has a Big Data complex

Digital Transformation has a Big Data complex

By Sameer Patel on July 7, 2014

Digital Transformation is real and is here. McKinsey & Co. has some excellent survey results on digital trends. Incredibly good insights. Exhibit 4 shows how the investment stacks up for digital initiatives. Not surprising that Big Data came in last. In and of it self it’s too nebulous to be a stand out. But Big Data is […]

Networked Enterprises: Social Business Forum #sbf13

Networked Enterprises: Social Business Forum #sbf13

By Sameer Patel on June 10, 2013

This week I have the privilege of keynoting the Social Business Forum in Milan once again, along with esteemed industry colleagues such as R “Ray” Wang, Esteban Kolsky, Sandy Carter, Michael Brito and others. The concept of networked enterprises is something that’s top of mind for me these days as we chart the next chapter of […]

Connecting vs Reaching

Connecting vs Reaching

By Sameer Patel on February 24, 2013

This snippet by way of Stowe Boyd really struck a chord with me with respect to the difference between social networks and enterprise social networks. Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook got called out by Maureen Dowd in this New York TImes article: “Sandberg may mean well, and she may be setting up a run for national […]

Social’s Tussle with Email

Social’s Tussle with Email

By Sameer Patel on January 13, 2013

The Kill Email meme never really dies. Ever since the dawn of enterprise social computing circa 2006, the value proposition has been waffling between being a process killer to a portal killer and my favorite, an email killer. Stare Email in the face all you want. She’s looking back and laughing at you. Then I […]

Putting the H back in HCM. 4 Questions. #HRTechConf

Putting the H back in HCM. 4 Questions. #HRTechConf

By Sameer Patel on October 7, 2012

As I plan to spend a day at my first HRTech Conference in Chicago next week, it got me thinking about how far along we are towards getting the people part right in HCM. Or as my industry colleague and Head of Learning at TELUS, Dan Pontefract, aptly calls, the “Wesources” part. There are some […]

Feeds and Mullets #socbiz #ensw

By Sameer Patel on September 26, 2012

Brilliant New York Times UX designer and author Alex Wright, someone I’ve had the privilege to work closely with, said to me a decade ago that “Tags are the new Mullet”. Back in the mid 2000′s, those garish word-clouds made popular by Delicious showed up everywhere and only those of us geekily-inclined really employed them in […]

Enterprise Social Road to Nowhere. #socbiz

By Sameer Patel on August 23, 2012

When asked to review tent.io, a new protocol for, in their words, open, decentralized, social networking, Dave Winer writes: I don’t understand what I’m supposed to weigh in on. Anyone can write a spec. What matters is what software is supporting the protocol, what content is available through it and how compelling is the content. […]

Closing the Loop #ensw

Closing the Loop #ensw

By Sameer Patel on July 16, 2012

The Nest thermometer is by far my favorite gadget purchase of 2012. Its spendy at $250 but if you consider that a 1% +/- change in your heating/cooling setting can tilt your yearly bill by 5%, accuracy and smart meters are valuable. You’ll make up the cost in savings in due time. Wi-fi connectivity means […]

Enterprise 2.0 2012 Boston: Will Social meet Business? #e2conf

By Sameer Patel on June 18, 2012

I’m on a flight to Boston to dip into TechWeb’s Flagship Enterprise 2.0 Conference – the definitive watering hole for all enterprise social enthusiasts. Every year we look for both practical insights so practitioners can advance their effort on the ground, but as important this event is where one gets a sense of potential forward movement of […]

Social Business Facts and Fiction.

Social Business Facts and Fiction.

By Sameer Patel on February 29, 2012

The hubris around Social Business is scaling new heights these days, and yet in many ways the concept seems to be redlining to nowhere.  As an example, take a look at this thread on Google Plus by Francine Hardaway. 133 comments later, there’s little agreement on what all of this really is, who the experts are, […]
