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.

20 Years of Product Management in 25 Minutes

Mind the Product has been doing an awesome job these years. Follow them, watch their contents, the best Product Management ideas are there. Each time someone new in our PM field ask me about where to start, I have too many things in my mind to propose a simple answer. Each time, I tell me, if I tell them the truth, they may say: this is a too difficult position. So, the best way, may be to show them a funny video with the PM core principles: 20 Years of Product Management in 25 Minutes by Dave Wascha. Enjoy Thanks Dave, Thanks Mind the Product.

Music: From Monoculture to Silots

I recently watched a video titled " What’s a Monoculture? How Artists Are Bigger and Smaller Than Ever " on YouTube, which got me thinking about the shift from music monoculture to silos. This change has significantly impacted how we consume and experience music today. Monoculture and Silos: - Monoculture: This refers to a shared cultural experience where a few artists or pieces of content dominate the global scene. This was more prevalent during the MTV era when music videos and a few popular artists shaped the music landscape. - Silos: In contrast, silos represent the fragmented nature of modern media consumption. Different groups of people are exposed to different content based on their preferences, leading to a more personalized but less universally shared experience. How Did This Happen? Here is a timeline of the last 70 years of modern music to illustrate this shift: Pre-MTV Era (1950s-1980s): - Music was primarily consumed through radio, records, and live...
