Connecting Appian, Rinde and Wardley with the intersection of process and social
I’ve been pushing the concept of using social technologies for collaboration and connections both inside and outside of business to make companies more effective since early 2006.

In discussions about SAP’s new stealth weapon, HANA, I have come to become a wee weary. At SAP Inside Track NL we joked about it: @jonerp @dahowlett @ragtag @applebyj like we said at #sitNL “When lost for words, just end your sentence with HANA and you’ll be fine” What is HANA?
