Noch ist das Wetter viel zu schön um die Tage wieder auf diversen Events, Konferenzen und Communities of Practice zu verbringen. Aber das wird sich ja bald ändern.
Deshalb ein kurzer Vorblick auf die kommende Konferenzsaison und die ganz subjektiv für mich wichtigen Punkte.

Effizienz ist eines der wesentlichen Kriterien in der Einfuehrung und Erfolgsmessung von 2.0 Tools im Unternehmen. Und wo bleibt der Spass, den wir da und dort doch schon langsam mit unseren Tools und Kanaelen haben?

""Viele Social Media-Berater sind noch sehr gruen hinter den Ohren", formulierte Joachim Niemeier treffend seinen Einstieg in die Moderation des Enterprise 2.0 Forum vergangene Woche. Als einer der schon trocken hinter den Ohren ist, eroeffnete Euan Semple das Event mit seiner Keynote "How to manage the Enterprise 2.0 (R)evolution".

Jane McConnell contributes to the Trust Exchange Research by sharing her thoughts on our three starting questions. Jane runs NetJMC, a strategy consultancy focused on intranets.

What's the story of Enterprise 2.0 if you would have to create a TV-documentary? I want to create a movie on E 2.0 to support the rollout of a big, new and completely different (compared to the current solution) intranet; 5-7 minutes maximum.

We need information. But sometimes we don't want it. Sometimes we are fed with information, sometimes we have to search for it and use tricks to get it.

That scared the audience quite a lot: another technology, new products, new marketing lingo, new sales bullshit to be learned and spread.

The idea of a Black Belt-Programme for intranet editors is to make the usage of intranets as taken for granted as the usage of pencils. Users should not only know how to use intranets, but also how they work, what the reasons for common problems are and how they can be solved - before calling the support and especially before blaming someone.

The rise of online video is often mentioned in one go with Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0 and other current hip phenomena of the online world. Videos are still oneway communication - but so cheap and easy to use, that this alone somehow justifies to mention them in the 2.0 environment.

The 4th annual Global Intranet Strategies survey will close in 10 days at the end of August. If you're an intranet manager and have not yet signed up, there is still time.
In exchange, you'll receive a free copy of the "Global Intranet Trends for 2010" report, which will be published in the second part of October.

The survey is organized by Jane McConnell, NetStrategy/JMC.
