Mashable had an interesting article on some experimentation that Google was performing on how they were going to display the results of their search results.  Oddly this looked very familiar.  This segmentation of the search results has somewhat been a part of the Google results UI for a few years and has been slowly evolving.  […]

On a recent flight I was able to catch up on a few things and one of them was a recommendation from a good friend to check out Mike Rowe’s TED video on the the value of work (or lack thereof).  I was excited not only because Dirty Jobs is a favourite show of my […]

Techcrunch reported that Zend and Adobe have partnered to provide an integrated environment for developing rich web experiences Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.  I, for one, remember a previous attempt that didn’t go so swell, but am fairly certain that they have ironed out most of the previous wrinkles.  This is great since Adobe is a […]

I was spurned on to this by a tweet by @carlywinter on 20 reasons not to use social media and I thought I could extend those to enterprise collaboration.  Because, for some companies social media engagement and social business (internal) engagement are interwoven quite tightly through the use of products like Jive and Connections – […]

I was reminded on a nice reason to have internal (and maybe external) collaboration communities.  Failure.  I am a fan of failure.  I am a HUGE fan of success.  Having entrepreneurial blood flowing through my veins and having run my own business, I have done my fair share of it.  I do much less of it these […]

In the winter issue of MIT Sloan Management Review, Julian Birkinshaw, Cyril Bouquet and J.-L. Barsoux wrote  a great article on the 5 Myths of Innovation.  Innovation, collaboration and Web 2.0 are getting more traction these days and they hit some nice points based on research of leading company over many years.  Many of these I […]

Molly Malsam has a great post on our ECM blog about faceted navigation.   This is a topic that comes up a lot on collaboration and portal implementations.  Designers and portal planners are always trying to make search and navigation in general more meaningful and you usually see a varied approach in the faceted navigation […]

There is always a debate about using personal devices for work purposes but it happens and will be more often as we see more and more millennial’s and other mobile workers chose their devices and adopt and merge them.  Aside from teaching the knowledge worker the how and why of enterprise security there have been few solutions […]

We have talked about QR codes here a bit and also myself and DeeDee Demulling wrote about it in our recent Mobile White Paper.  Here is a infographic I found on Mashable.com that does a nice time giving a state-of-QR:

I found a great video about how businesses are using Business Data to drive innovation by Erik Brynjolfsson.  He talks about how many people think that we have reached a peak in terms of technology relevant in business and counters it with that we are actually just starting a frontier of IT’s relevant in being a […]

It goes without saying that online meetings are a sin and a saviour of the business world that we live in today.  We want to connect disparate workforces, save on travel, and a host of other reasons and therefore we use tools like Sametime, Webex, LiveMeeting and others to make meetings happen.  Nick Morgan had a nice blog […]

Jeffrey Rayport of MIT’s Technology Review wrote a great article on how collaboration technologies will be a company’s competitive advantage.  He talks of the “human cloud” that comes out of collaboration – which I think is a great concept.  He also touches on a new series of articles that Technology Review will be addressing going […]
