Enterprise social software

Last century, I used to send to my colleagues a constant flow of emails with links I considered relevant to our work. Experience has shown me that pushing information to people doesn't mean they assimilate the essence of the content. Worse, if you send too many messages they will get ignored and after filling up your colleagues' mailboxes, they will tend to automatically bin them. Pushing information is definitively a waste of time for both the sender and the receivers.

While the enterprise's knowledge is supported by the enterprise content management, the availability of web tools has led many organisations toward Enterprise social software.

A blog for a project, for a service or for the general news, are surprisingly adopted without an effort of persuasion, where the traditional content management tools have failed. Easy to use, and effective with a small amount of writing are the main characteristics of this technology.

A wiki is a group of web pages that people can edit just by clicking on a button. Current wikis have a WYSIWYG interface that most users are comfortable with, a good improvement from the first wiki.

But wikis are the best for collaboration. Watch the following picture directly copied from the wikinomics blog and you see which waste has been eliminated.

Wiki adoption in the Enterprise is something different from the uptake of blogs. If you want to succeed in deployment of wikis, you will need to step back, get the good people and avoid classic mistakes and that's what you'll find on the wikipatterns website.

Lancement de ProductTank Lyon

Tout d’abord, bonne année 2020. Je me suis investi ces dernières années dans les communautés/événements CARA Lyon, MiXiTConf, LyonDataScience et CaféDevOps sur Lyon, France. Ces activités m’ont permis de comprendre les experts de ces domaines, d’apprendre quelques notions fondamentales à travers leurs exposés et d'améliorer mes capacités d’échange avec eux. Product Manager depuis plus de 5 ans, je désire améliorer mes réflexes et compétences dans mon domaine. Le faire à travers des rencontres/meetup est ce que je préfère et j’aimerais retrouver la stimulation des communautés dans cette discipline. En cette année 2020, quelques Product Manager Lyonnais, lançons, le meetup ProductTankLyon à Lyon, France. Le réseau ProductTank compte plus de 150 meetup dans le monde et profite des conférences, blog et podcast MindTheProduct. Inscrivez-vous ici , si vous voulez vous joindre à nous.

Learning about Data Science?

This is the end of a beautiful summer, and also one of the warmer recorded in France. I’m continuing my journey in the product management world and today I’m living in the product marketing one too. I will blog about this later. During this first half of this year, I read several articles on big data and started to understand how important the data science discipline is. Being able to define a direction/goal to search, collecting the proper data, then using a collection of techniques to extract something others can’t see - it sounds like magic. Also, when I listened to the Udacity Linear Disgression podcast episode “Hunting the Higgs”, I understood people with these skills can be better at solving a problem than the domain experts themselves. Katie Malone explained that in a competition to solve a particle physics problem, the best results came from machine learning people. Then I read the article about Zenefit on the vision mobile website : “Zenefits is an insurance compan
