A brilliant presentation by Ed Yourdon under the title " Using Twitter in the Enterprise ", which he has also kindly shared over at Slideshare , and which provides plenty of further insights on how Twitter, and microsharing social software tools, in general, can be used within the corporate world to help drive innovation further into the next level for such relevant areas as software development, project management and process improvement!

In fact, I am sure it is going to make you think twice about things, specially if you have got an Information Management or Knowledge Management backgrounds. The wonderfully provocative presentation is also in Slideshare ; it was put together by John Bordeaux , one of the smartest talents and thought leaders in the Knowledge Management space that I have been following for a little while now and whose blog I can certainly recommend to anyone out there interested in the topic of KM or Knowledge Sharing, whatever you would want to call it.

refreshing wind of changes that I find quite rewarding to bump into every so often to help us all understand where we are heading with these new rules of engagement , knowledge sharing and collaboration in the corporate world, based on nurturing business relationships and their corresponding connections. You would be able to watch it over at Slideshare or, instead, flip through the charts on the embedded version shared below: In the current business environment where plenty of enterprises are still trying to figure out whether Social Computing would make sense for them, for their customers and / or their business partners, there are sometimes visionaries so insightful, and thought-provoking, as Charlene Li (Co-author of the wonderful and indispensable Groundswell ), who venture into sharing with us what will be happening in the near future in the space of social networking.

in various key areas, such as privacy, security, time management, executive buy-in, etc etc. It has already been shared in Slideshare (Oscar blogged about it over here as well) and you can view it directly from this link . Like slides #5 (People as the platform); #7 (With a powerful quote from Jakob Nielsen on what social software is all about); #9 (One of my favourite slides which depicts, quite nicely, our own human basic needs…); #21 (On social capital, which we still My goodness! Where has the time gone to his week?

It was shared in Slideshare by my good friend Alan Lepofsky , former IBM colleague, now with Director of Marketing at Socialtext , a couple of months ago, and it is one of those presentations whose incredibly accurate value is going to remain valid for a long while.

Either way, I want to keep this blog post short, so with that introduction, and without much further ado, here you have got the direct link to the slides (In Slideshare ) and also the embedded version (Check out slide #11, if you are interested in further details on IBM’s adoption of social software, both inside and outside the firewall): Tags: Enterprise 2.0 , Social Software , Social Networking , Social Computing , Social Media , Collaboration , Communities , Learning , Knowledge Sharing , KM , Knowledge Management , Remote Collaboration , Innovation , IBM

thought I would share with you folks over here a superb presentation that my good friend Steve Dale put together and which he just shared very recently, both over at Slideshare and in a blog post titled: Communities of Practice: Conversations to Collaboration .

In that presentation you will be to see how a large business like IBM decided to support and fully embrace social software a few years back, by continuing to trust its employees to extend further on the already strong corporate brand, bringing out thousands and thousands of strong, passionate and committed voices who all along have been understanding what it is like this new wave of social interactions in a corporate environment in order to help boost knowledge sharing and collaboration across the board. can’t wait to watch the video recording of Andy’s pitch, as I am sure it

new wave of social interactions, way beyond the Social Web, that help us not only continue to share more and more knowledge by the day and collaborate with others, but also help us nurture and nourish our trust levels with everyone else, which is where I felt that’s the kind of change we most probably need at this very moment in time, given the current econolypse we are all going through. And funny enough earlier on today a tweet by my good friend, and very prolific KM blogger, John Tropea , just caught my attention on a Slideshare presentation that’s been around

am talking, of course, about Slideshare and its terms . Slideshare), I am having enough of it. So, yes, from now on, I guess you could call me a social networking site curmudgeon, one that will stop making use, as of today, of Facebook, LinkedIn & Slideshare.
