Some of these tools can be cloud based but they also need to be business based.

They picked the same 11 technologies studied in the vendor report: blogs, forums, mashups, microblogs, podcasts, prediction markets, RSS, social bookmarks, social networks, widgets, and wikis

But microblogging will only become valuable to the enterprise once it truly integrates with other enterprise processes and applications, and only after a whole set of additional tools are added to help filter content and refine the value of aggregated information.

Dites “on va lancer une démarche KM” ne présage en rien de sa réussite mais permet à n’importe qui dans l’entreprise de comprendre de quoi on parle. Dites donc “la solution est une démarche entreprise 2.0″ et voyez l’air dubitatif de 95% des collaborateurs et vous comprendrez que vous n’êtes pas sorti de l’auberge.

Toute le monde a besoin de comprendre “pourquoi, quoi, comment ?”. C’est la condition préalable à l’appropriation indispensable qui est une condition de réussite. Et cette appropriation nécessite donc non d’amener l’interlocuteur sur un terrain inconnu donc considéré comme hostile, mais de partir d’un terrain connu et d’en repousser les frontières. Le tout en ayant du sens par rapport à leur quotidien, à ce qui constitue leur paradigme actuel.

la nécessité d’impliquer le client dans un grand nombre de processus qui, auparavant, étaient exclusivement internes, est aujourd’hui évidente. Et l’impact sur le cœur du business l’est tout autant. Cela répond à la question “pourquoi faire autrement ce que je fais aujourd’hui très bien en isolant et cloisonnant”

Generation of KM Where Knowledge Lives Type of Knowledge Implications First Generation Artifacts Explicit Create the infrastructure for capturing, collecting, refining, and re-using artifacts Second Generation Individuals Tacit Focus on collaborative behaviors and person-to-person knowledge sharing Third Generation The network Emergent Provide the conditions for enabling knowledge and action to emerge.

Users say they know what they want until they get it, and then they want something different.‘

I could talk with the users in their own language; go away and develop a module with real data; and create reports, monitoring screens and other processes based on a synthesis of my knowledge, the stated needs of the client and my knowledge of the technology.  The application would work in novel ways, users would find new ways of working, and modifications would be agreed upon.  Over the course of a year, a powerful application emerged that was very different from anything that either the user or I could have defined.

In many ways, this is a textbook description of how to implement social media tools within the enterprise.  Work iteratively with your users, create opportunities to learn from each other and from the tool using a series of “safe-fail” experiments, stay in beta for as long as it takes to reflect user reality in your tool, and don’t be afraid to step off the straight and narrow path of linear thinking.  To be clear, this is not a recommendation that you abandon all logic in your design and implementation.  Rather, it is a reminder that there can be great beauty and greater rewards in following a more circuitous route.
