Tell your work story with an infographic

Tell your work story with an infographic

By Hutch Carpenter on October 29, 2013

I have recently found myself updating my resume. Why? After 4 1/2 years at Spigit, I have moved on as the company has been acquired by Mindjet. It was a good run there. So I needed to dust off the resume. And you know, it was eye-opening how limiting resumes are. They are great for their […]

The UPDATED Decision Maker’s Guide to Jive Software vs. ThinkPassenger vs. Spigit Vs. BrightIdea

By Mark Fidelman on November 22, 2010

Tweet Innovation Edition You and I are trapped in a two dimensional corporation.  The corporate version of Carl Sagan’s Flat Land.  Where we only see a cross section of the truth.  But if we were able elevate the corporation into the third dimension we’d  have much better visibility and access to information. And that’s where […]

Spigit vs. Jive Software vs. BrightIdea: a Decision Makers Guide

By Mark Fidelman on March 30, 2010

Thomas Edison’s most important achievement was the development of an effective incandescent light bulb.  Most people believe he invented the light bulb but in fact he improved upon a 50 year old idea.  50 years to create what we now know to be one of the most important inventions of the 19th century.  Imagine if […]

Enterprise 2.0 Trends: Which vendors are in the running?

Enterprise 2.0 Trends: Which vendors are in the running?

By Mark Fidelman on March 1, 2010

While doing some Enterprise 2.0 vendor research, we discovered some interesting trends from the E2.0 space.  Using Google’s Double-Click Ad Planner, we were able to establish a general picture of the companies’ overall traffic.  It’s still very early in the Enterprise 2.0 race, but Yammer appears to be the best horse on a muddy track.  […]

The Ultimate Competitive Advantage

The Ultimate Competitive Advantage

By Mark Fidelman on January 25, 2010

Why did it take until 1946 for the first computer to be invented?  All of the elements were in place by 1918.  It’s not because there weren’t companies capable of creating the computer.   In fact in the late 1800’s over 1000 electrical apparatus companies were formed to build electric devices.   6 elements of knowledge need […]

Hutch Carpenter on the Innovation X Factor

By Mark Fidelman on January 19, 2010

An idea can create cities, billion dollar companies and new futures.  But most great ideas never get off the ground because the  right talent and resources are not assembled to act on them.   Despite the common wisdom, most of the truly great ideas I have seen in the past 20 years have not come out […]

In the enterprise market, the opportunity being seized by companies is to better connect employees. The sheer size of these firms makes it obvious that they […]

Of course it’s not possible to effectively address many of the critical business functions using basic Enterprise 2.0 tools. Yet when it comes to social software, it often seems that the only game in town is to […]
