Why Facebook entering the world of work is an advertising goldmine. #facebookatwork

Why Facebook entering the world of work is an advertising goldmine. #facebookatwork

By Sameer Patel on January 14, 2015

So, Ingrid Lunden at TechCrunch announced that Facebook has finally entered the world of work. As far as the consumer market goes, think about it. Facebook is worth 212 billion dollars by having a strong hold on your actions, interests, and preferences from 5pm to 9am and some fraction of your work day. If only it could […]

Digital collaboration goes deeper, gets lightweight and intelligent

By Dion Hinchcliffe on May 27, 2014

Two tracks seem to be emerging with today’s enterprise collaboration tools. Either they’re becoming full-sized suites with the kitchen sink, or they’re focusing making a few core features work better than anyone else.

Successful Networks Require a Cross-Disciplinary Team

Successful Networks Require a Cross-Disciplinary Team

By Susan Scrupski on April 9, 2014

It should come as no surprise that a one-dimensional approach to network “deployment” will yield lackluster results.  In the heyday of the Enterprise 2.0 movement, it was largely IT that introduced social networks to the workforce.  The mistake that many customers made in those early days was viewing social networks as a technology platform vs. […]

The Social Kerfuffle: What is an Employee?

The Social Kerfuffle: What is an Employee?

By Anshu Sharma on March 19, 2014

Who owns the behavior of an employee on the social networks? In a world where we have all gone BYOD, and I would posit – gone BYOS (Bring your own “Social Network”) – who owns what? And who is responsible when an error is made by the employee? What is an error? What is an […]

Where is interoperability for social media?

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 6, 2014

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 is a Snap

Social Business is a Snap

By Esteban Kolsky on March 6, 2013

Yep, you read that right. A snap. Simple. Uncomplicated. Two bits and change. a Drachma of work (well, probably the wrong analogy). And you don’t even need to buy, invest, change, or even do something different.  You got all it takes, most of what it needs (you may need some software – but i am […]

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. […]

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 […]
