Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration

Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration

By Martijn Linssen on August 25, 2011

Laurie Buzcek called out for Integration as a solution for the failure of Enterprise 2.0 and Social Business – which she equates to each other – and I couldn’t help but think of Tibbr when reading her post Dion Hinchcliffe responded with a post in which he also stresses the integration of social media with […]

1.0, 2.0, 3.0 – Tibbr shows the way

By Martijn Linssen on June 29, 2011

For those who are familiar with me and my posts, you’ll now that I’m passionate about Integration. My Integration eBook, my posts – even though I cover a wide range of topics – all are about diversity, evolutionary growth and change, while standing with both feet on the ground and keeping a pragmatic view I […]

Problem prevention knows no funding

Problem prevention knows no funding

By Martijn Linssen on June 13, 2011

A major topic on Twitter for me this week was that of problem prevention. We all know error handling, error solving, creating workarounds or solutions for them, but “A stitch in time saves nine” is a debatable issue in ICT Or is it? It all started with a tweet from Jamie Oswald: IT’s biggest problem […]

How often does your company plant get repotted?

How often does your company plant get repotted?

By Martijn Linssen on June 5, 2011

Yesterday, I was watching my wife repot a few plants. Actually, quite a few of them. What did she do? She took the plants out of their pots, and put them into bigger pots, adding fresh compost I watched that for a while, busy with with other things, and the thought came to mind: Wife […]

Perfect business cases for Social Business

Perfect business cases for Social Business

By Martijn Linssen on May 9, 2011

Thanks to Oscar Berg for writing his No business case for Social Business It’s a good post and all true, although very few social media fans agreed with it – probably because it doesn’t give them what they want. As darks is the opposite of light, bad the opposite of good, and so on, I […]

The apprentice- master model

The apprentice- master model

By Martijn Linssen on May 5, 2011

Jon Reed made the following statement on Twitter: Marin accused Deloitte of using project as “a trial-and-error training ground” for junior consultants. Panelists: please react #focuserprt My answer: very common Growth. How do you grow people from skill A to skill B? The eternal question. For we are struggling with that question in our personal […]

Implementing Social: don't use the C-word

Implementing Social: don’t use the C-word

By Martijn Linssen on April 13, 2011

The C-word is being used quite frequently these days. I have had quite a few dialogues and discussions about it, and it almost looks like the C-word is the new black – or white, in this case. To me, it shows that Social is hitting mainstream and getting implemented here and there. Maybe the evangelists […]

From product to service: stealing first base?

From product to service: stealing first base?

By Martijn Linssen on March 29, 2011

The other day I read a post about how someone in a poor country is making a living by taking his washing machine across town (rather: slum) and selling it “by the wash”, thus turning a product into a service. The rationale in this specific case is cheap washing machines from abroad pushing existing ones […]

Gamification - yet another one-size-fits-all?

Gamification – yet another one-size-fits-all?

By Martijn Linssen on February 9, 2011

I got into discussions today about gamification: Gamification is the use of game play mechanics for non-game applications (also known as “funware”), particularly consumer-oriented web and mobile sites, in order to encourage people to adopt the applications. It also strives to encourage users to engage in desired behaviors in connection with the applications. Gamification works […]

Social Enterprise Magic Quadrant

Social Enterprise Magic Quadrant

By Martijn Linssen on February 4, 2011

Debate and savviness seems to be flying across the Twitter verse these days, Stowe Boyd wrote a post about that One quote there: And Dennis has been making his displeasure about the use of the term ‘social business’ known, but not by arguing about the principles involved. Instead, Howlett has adopted a ‘savviness’ cant: he […]

The Follow-or-Not Flowchart

By Martijn Linssen on January 31, 2011

I few days ago I published my “To Tweet or ReTweet flowchart“. I think it is time to publish my “To Follow or Not To Follow” flowchart as well, as I find that I hardly make any exception at all on my internal, unwritten rules for deciding to follow a new follower or not. This […]

Twitter punctuation manners

By Martijn Linssen on January 22, 2011

A small post about punctuation – in my general writing, and tweets If you haven’t noticed, I leave out a period at the end of every paragraph – on this blog, when I comment here and there, in emails – period (pun intended) I think the following whitespace makes it perfectly clear that a paragraph […]

Stop breaking down silos, let's enginize the pistons

Stop breaking down silos, let’s enginize the pistons

By Martijn Linssen on January 10, 2011

Everywhere I go these days I encounter the call for integrating everything into anything and the words “break down silos”. While the former I applaud, the latter is a politically incorrect way to address the stakeholders (sic, more about that 3 paragraphs from now): it brings across a threat rather than an opportunity in most […]

Social Customer Service - proving you failed?

Social Customer Service – proving you failed?

By Martijn Linssen on January 4, 2011

A great comment by Guy Letts to my previous post on Acquisition versus Retention made me write this one – the comment is only half an hour old but blew my mind: There’s another example of how ridiculous is the pursuit of NEW rather than getting the basics right. Some large companies now boast of […]
