Reflections on the Enterprise 2.0 Conference Boston 2010
Blog PostI've had time to sit back and digest the great many discussions, meetings, and ideas circulating at this year's excellent Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, just over a week ago. For just about everyone I spoke with, there was a consensus that this was a special event this year and the industry has hit a new level of maturity. This was evident by the proliferation of vendors, major client-side success stories such as CSC's presentation on how they achieved over 50,000 registered internal users of their social community, and the 2.0 Adoption Council's outstanding all-day workshop of customer stories with concrete lessons learned about planning, advocacy, adoption, community management, ROI, and much more.

The Advent of the Social Supply Chain
Blog PostI have been writing about and working with open supply chains for some years now, specifically how businesses are increasingly opening up their borders to much more dynamic, scalable, and valuable supply chain and partnership scenarios. Up until recently, the story of advancement when it came to supply chains has been one of technological improvement.
