Trends in the Personal Enterprise: App Stores

Posted on January 29th, 2010 By Jevon Macdonald

I wrote about The Personal Enterprise earlier. It is a term that has been around for a while, but which is coming in to its own with Social Business Design as a foundation that helps answer a lot of the questions that the original concept left open.

Organizational Design in Social Business

Posted on January 7th, 2010 By Jevon Macdonald

The effectiveness of an Organizational Design exercise depends on the fit of process, structure and behaviour that make up the organization and how they are aligned with both existing and desired future capabilities.

The Personal Enterprise

Posted on January 4th, 2010 By Jevon Macdonald

In looking at better ways that an organization can operate, we often look at the current service delivery model. How are services shared, delivered and managed?

A Conversation with Andrew McAfee

Posted on November 16th, 2009 By Jevon Macdonald

Andrew McAfee is known as the father of Enterprise 2.0. In 2006 he wrote the paper “Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration,” which for many of us gave a single point of reference for the work being done in enterprise social software and “Office 2.0″ until then.

The Launchpad is always my favorite part of the conference.

How Social is the Future of SAP?

Posted on October 15th, 2009 By Jevon Macdonald

I have spent the last few days here at SAP TechEd 2009 trying to learn about SAPs vision for the future of social in the enterprise. I have been to both TechED and SAPPHIRE before, and I usually came away with the sense the SAP isn’t thinking about social. All of that has changed now [...]
