Endings and Beginnings

Endings and Beginnings

By Michael Fauscette on February 1, 2016

Time For Tiedosta: To Know About Knowledge

Time For Tiedosta: To Know About Knowledge

By Esteban Kolsky on July 8, 2014

In the late 1999 and into early 2000 I was the CTO for a startup. The product was ahead of its time (“can you put it in an email?” it the comment from a VC that still haunts me to this day — as if) and it was a platform play.  Inconsequential to this post. […]

Social Business: Pining for the Fjords!

Social Business: Pining for the Fjords!

By Susan Scrupski on December 5, 2013

“I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it…  It’s dead!” So, which is it dead or not dead?   There is so much confusion in the market about what “Social Business” is, it might as well be a dead parrot (too).  And there is no shortage of people who come at this conversation with a perspective […]

How Do Enterprise Buyers Research New Software?

How Do Enterprise Buyers Research New Software?

By Susan Scrupski on October 17, 2013

A few weeks ago, I wanted to know what role “social” plays in researching enterprise software.  Every one of the billion dollar companies that responded to my inquiry said that blogs, social networks (from Twitter to LinkedIn), and online forums weighed heavily in their initial research and opinion formulation process.  Of course, the traditional research […]

Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant

Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant

By Zoli Erdos on March 25, 2013

Fellow Enterprise Irregular and HfS Research Founder Phil Fersht introduced their new Blueprint with an appropriate title: Step aside Magic Quadrant, hello Blueprint. I think such a milestone warrants a historical overview of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, Hype Cycle, Magic Cycle, Magic Hype, Hyped Magik… or any other variation you prefer.  And since it’s just a few […]

What’s Your Story?

What’s Your Story?

By Susan Scrupski on February 25, 2013

    Every social graph tells a story.  In this sweeping visualization of nodes and connections, you can see the shape of my career history and relationships.  This imprint of my LinkedIn social network was generated yesterday. You can see how new contacts and interrelationships jettisoned off from my base when I started to work at 7Summits. […]

May I Recruit Your Help in a Knowledge Management Research Project?

May I Recruit Your Help in a Knowledge Management Research Project?

By Esteban Kolsky on February 8, 2013

Late in 2011 I conducted my first market research project on Knowledge Management. I wanted to get an idea of what was going on in the world, what projects you (royal you, not you personally) were working on, what projects you were going to invest money in, and (more than anything) what was affecting your […]
