Recently, I read an interesting article from MIT Tech Review which diagnosed why the social network Friendster failed – An Autopsy of a Dead Social Network. The research done by David Garcia and colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich concluded that networks with a significant percentage of participants who had two [...]

I’ve been lucky to have had some very interesting jobs during the course of my career. One stint as an applications auditor gave me lots of insight that applies directly in my current role as an analyst.

This has been a month of thinking differently. I’ve been working a maverick research project with my colleague Deb Logan. We’ve been delving into the characteristics that epitomize a socially centered leader. We contend that only socially centered leaders can ensure sustainable business performance for the organizations they lead. This is not about sprinkling social [...]

Knowledge management has gone through a metamorphosis but it seems not everyone got the memo. In our Gartner research, we’ve written about a shift in focus from knowledge capture to creating connections among knowledgeable people. The premise of the research is that the reason so many of the knowledge management initiatives started a decade a [...]

It’s always a pleasure for me to attend an event where I don’t have to be “on” all the time. It’s delightful to sit back and listen to other people’s perspectives, to absorb a different set of attitudes about a topic. Last week, I attended Enterprise 2.0, or as it has now been renamed E2.0, [...]

I’ve been reflecting on the myriad of client meetings I had during the PPM and Enterprise Architecture Summits. When you have lots of discussions on a single topic in quick succession, it helps you to crystallize the common theme.

I attended Lotusphere 2012 this week. Actually, I attended LotusConnect, the event focused on letting customers tell their stories about how IBM’s products service the business. The case studies from notable organizations such as TD Bank, Children’s Hospital and Caterpillar were compelling.
