"I haven’t been to this airport before Mr. Hare, have you?"

If there’s one thing I will take away from the J. Boye 2009 conference in Aarhus, it’s the benefit of reading a bus timetable properly. Having confused destination and starting point, I have just been driven at high speed to Billund airport to catch my flight home. Hearing the above words spoken by a taxi [...]

Cooperation – the future of the intranet?

I spent Monday morning at the first half of Coporate Social Networking 2009 at RIBA listening to a variety of speakers talking about the impact of social networking on the way we work. I hadn’t encountered Niall Cook of Hill and Knowlton before, but I agreed with much of what he had to say. He [...]

Knowledge and Content 2008 – Day Two

As Ron Donaldson of Natural England pointed out yesterday, I am opening for him this afternoon. Don’t laugh, I saw Coldplay open for U2 several years ago and now they’re the biggest band in Britain (actually, I don’t know this for a fact…). Not that I am implying I am dull, wet and boring you [...]

Knowledge And Content 2008 – Day One

Over to Earls Court this morning for Day One of Ark Group‘s Knowledge And Content 2008, arriving shortly after the start of the panel discussion on what KM means in 2008.

Obviously I need to work on the voice a bit because I “spoke quietly” – the in situ: director won’t be impressed..! I will have to do a proper vocal warm-up in future. I [...]

Enterprise 2.0: "The Evolution of Collaboration in Your Business" – Day 2

The LawThe second day of the conference began with Brodies IT head Damien Behan talking about why he has resisted many attempts to adopt social media technology. My ears pricked up at one point he made about how “most viruses come through websites, not e-mail”. Maybe the webmail blockers have it all wrong. The mood [...]

Enterprise 2.0: "The Evolution of Collaboration in Your Business" – Day 1

PanelI arrived midway through a panel discussion entitled “What Is Web 2.0?” after catching a later train than I’d intended. The debate rambled a little and would have benefited from more structure, perhaps by seeking questions from the audience in advance. I started to think I would have liked to have seen the group picking [...]

We came up with:- A 48-hour rolling online Open Space-style event- Anyone can submit discussion items on a wiki, using video, audio or text- Attendees link up [...]
