Malgré leur succès incontesté dans le domaine grand public, les outils de collaboration en ligne du web 2.0 peinent à s'imposer en entreprise. C'est ce que révèle une récente étude du cabinet d'analyse Forrester. Quelques chiffres : 68 % des employés utilisent toujours email & téléphone pour collaborer (!). Ils sont de plus en plus souvent secondés par la messagerie instantanée (15% des employés) et la web conférence (13 %) (seulement !). Les réseaux sociaux ne sont utilisés que par 8 % des employés, les blogs par 5 % des collaborateurs et les wiki par 4 %. MAIS Les outils de bureautique en ligne (Google Apps, Windows Live, etc.) semblent en revanche décoller puisque 16 % des employés y auraient désormais recourt. La transformation des usages vers les nouveaux outils de productivité bureautique est bien en route :)

Think you know what work might look like in the future? Zoho's evangelist (and guy who setup their data center) Raju Vegesna shows me how he can gather data from the Internet, process it in a spreadsheet, and build a report -- all within minutes using Zoho's free services. Oh, and all while he could be collaborating with coworkers from around the world on live data. This is a new way to work and it's pretty exciting to think about how cloud-based technologies like Zoho's suite of applications will change how we'll work

Excellent article from McKinsey about how web 2.0 tools can improve productivity and efficiency in the company. They are also very well explaining difference between participation and collaboration, which we are ourselves explaining it for many years. It's good to see this difference recognized. The different categories are very well explained also. But one of the key point of this article in the introduction of workflow tecnologies in this area. McKinsey is saying that workflow + participatory technologies is a key enhancer for the company. We agree of course with this, first because companies need both world, and second because providing automation and participation capabilities to the information system is the best way to improve it drastically.

Pour l'instant, je n'ai vu que la séance de clôture mais le contenu à l'air d'être riche. Une journée dans la vie d'un télétravaileur, organisateur d'évènement, animateur de réseau, veilleur.

Très bonne analyse de la situation : les principaux outils nécessaires à l'animation de réseaux sociaux sont disponibles et gratuits ; il n'y a qu'à réfléchir aux processus à mettre en oeuvre pour déployer des solutions immédiatement opérationnelles.

About what the business models of internet companies should be. I agree with this, new technologies and organizations should be applied to startups themselves, reducing drastically employees, charges and costs. Then the margin and the leverage with revenues will increase. They are the best business models, and every startup manager should be aware of it. Essential. of course, this must be projected to traditional companies also, this is what we can do using enterprise 2.0 technologies and organisations.

How web 2.0 usages can facilitate business in this downturn period. I agree, this is very important, because using web 2.0 technologies, it is possible at the same time to decrease financial investments (essential currently), and increase individual and collective productivity and efficiency. I don't know why top managers are not understanding this in our countries. I know that this is not easy to change people behavior, but this is because most of the companies are very late in this change. If they had started the evolution few years ago...
