Tibbr Leaps Forward With GEO Feature And HTML5

Tibbr Leaps Forward With GEO Feature And HTML5

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 25, 2012

Tibbr (previous CloudAve coverage), Tibco’s social tool competing with the likes of Chatter, released a new version, Tibbr 3.5 with two new features which makes the product pretty hot in the market. In fact, I have been pretty impressed with Tibbr by the time it came into the market. Unlike many companies who were totally clueless […]

5 Social Business Truths

5 Social Business Truths

By Hutch Carpenter on January 23, 2012

Meritocracy trumps hierarchy: Companies don’t get a “pass” on Wall Street or the London Exchange becauswe they’re been around way before new companies. Political candidates aren’t immune from beingf being upended when they don’t perform. Why should work be any different? Companies that focus on the meritocracy are focused on growth. Those that pay too much attention […]

The evangalyst: preaching to the converted

The evangalyst: preaching to the converted

By Martijn Linssen on January 18, 2012

There are definite signs of evolution in social media. Where I saw some issues around mainstream adoption over a year ago, I can now rest assured. Dozens of “priests and monks” have arisen all over the world to further aid the conversion towards social; Social Business now is the way to go and according to […]

Why Every Company Needs to be More Like IBM and Less Like Apple

Why Every Company Needs to be More Like IBM and Less Like Apple

By Mark Fidelman on January 5, 2012

I was thirteen years old when I first saw it on TV. An army of blue-gray drones march in lockstep through a long tunnel into an auditorium filled with more drones dressed in futuristic, grey drab. All eyes are transfixed on a big-blue image of a man speaking from a theatre-sized screen, extolling the virtues […]

Afraid of socmediots? Email works just as well.

Afraid of socmediots? Email works just as well.

By Martijn Linssen on January 2, 2012

A giant reputation drama has been unfolding in the past days: Ocean Marketing’s Paul Cristoforo has made a complete ass of himself and his company. A nice compilation is provided by Doug Collins on his blog, and it’s aptly called How to Commit Career Suicide The (apparently almost) entire email thread can be found on […]

It’s All About Collaboration

It’s All About Collaboration

By Jacob Morgan on December 21, 2011

Regardless of how you want to spin “social business,” “social enterprise,” “social collaboration,” “enterprise collaboration,” or any other new term that comes along, it always comes down to collaboration.  At the end of the day that’s really what this is about, it’s not about being social it’s about being collaborative and applying collaborative technologies, strategies, […]

How to Improve Social Business Adoption as Told by IBM (Part 1)

How to Improve Social Business Adoption as Told by IBM (Part 1)

By Mark Fidelman on November 16, 2011

I typically like to provide context around discussions with industry thought leaders and Executives of the Fortune 500.  Yet some discussions should simply be left untouched and published as-is. It’s not a short article, but the insights around IBM’s journey to becoming a Social Business is remarkable and a must read for those that are […]

Why Email Can’t and Won’t Die

Why Email Can’t and Won’t Die

By Jacob Morgan on October 24, 2011

When you think about it there are really only two things that are unique to every individual, their email and their phone number.  This is important when we talk about emergent collaboration especially when the topic of moving people away from email comes up.  I know that there are many people who believe in the […]

Employees must Occupy the Board Room and Demand to be Social

Employees must Occupy the Board Room and Demand to be Social

By Mark Fidelman on October 19, 2011

They were not incompetent or anything; they had simply broken more pumps in the last year than any previous year the engineers could remember. Not the inexpensive kind, but the large 200 horsepower, $22,000 pumps used in geothermal power plants; each blew up in a  succession of preventable blunders. But then it got worse. They […]

The Secret to Virgin America’s Social Business Success (infographic comparison)

By Mark Fidelman on September 29, 2011

Want to know what it might feel like if an airline actually treated its customers like friends? Not a superficial, phony performance marked by fake smiles and fake actors (think the aviation version of the Truman Show). But an airline that runs its business by listening, supporting and doing what’s best for its customers. Instead, […]

This CEO Isn’t Afraid to Take on Jive Software or Salesforce.com

This CEO Isn’t Afraid to Take on Jive Software or Salesforce.com

By Mark Fidelman on September 7, 2011

Yammer thrives. The herd mentality around the enterprise activity stream is driving its competitors to emulate their every move.  Jive’s done it.  So has Salesforce.com, SocialText, Newsgator, Moxie Software and IBM Connections. From the Fortune 500 to the Fortuneless company of one, the activity stream is supplanting email for many forms of business communication. What’s […]

Can Happiness be the Key for Emergent Collaboration?

Can Happiness be the Key for Emergent Collaboration?

By Jacob Morgan on September 6, 2011

I read an interesting article in the New York Times recently titled, “Do Happier People Work Harder?”  I think the title pretty much sums up what this is all about but the research cited in the article was quite interesting (taken verbatim): Americans now feel worse about their jobs — and work environments — than […]

Looking Stupid and Other Risks of Emergent Collaboration

Looking Stupid and Other Risks of Emergent Collaboration

By Jacob Morgan on August 31, 2011

The topic of risk isn’t new and I’ve discussed it here along with a risk assessment framework.  However the typical types of risks we keep hearing about are those which pertain to the company as an entity.  What about actual risks to employees that work at these organizations?  We haven’t really spent enough time talking […]

Is Motivation Really the Best Strategy for Emergent Collaboration?

Is Motivation Really the Best Strategy for Emergent Collaboration?

By Jacob Morgan on August 26, 2011

I’ve really become quite fond of the work that Simon Sinek and Brene Brown have been doing (independently).  I was at a client conference in Vegas last week and was fortunate enough to hear Dr. Brown speak live at the event.  Both Simon and Brene talk quite a bit about motivation and inspiration, two things […]
