Presentation
Thursday, November 8th: 10.30 - 12.00
Track: Communication
Enterprise 2.0 in practice
Case studies of social web applications in the enterprise environment and examples of how you can use social patterns like blogs, wiki editing and commenting to facilitate corporate workflow and collaboration.
I have never been a big fan of the Web 2.0 term, to me the web is gradually evolving and we are constantly finding new ways of tapping into the power and flexibility of online collaboration. When Enterprise 2.0 was coined it was a different story. There is a trend for companies using social intranets and online collaboration to work more efficiently and this transition is happening fast. I feel this upgrade to the Enterprise landscape deserves the 2.0 stamp :)
I will cover the technical versus the social part of the Enterprise 2.0 buzz, bringing things to life by presenting case studies from actual implementations including Iceland Telecom (intranet), Lowe and partners worldwide (Portal), Woolworths (Online product management) and Diageo (Brand asset management).
