Did Garry Kasparov Stumble Into a New Business Process Model?
And it contains lessons for playing the game of business better.
Instead of pure chess genius, it was something much closer to business process design brilliance.

Why Social Enterprise and Cloud Computing Go Hand in Hand
IDC reported today that the majority of business workers use the social Web at least once a week.
IDC makes the point that if social computing represents the new business process then cloud computing is the delivery mechanism.

Do You Live Social?
Is it a combination of multiple business units and functions, and if so, who leads the efforts and how does an organization choose partners? But social media's not a product you foist on others, or some rigid business process that, if implemented, yields results.

Product Development 2.0
For now, I'm calling this online business trend "Product Development 2.0" It's an informal term I'm applying to something that online startups and traditional businesses both are increasingly doing: leveraging of mass user contributions, providing open architectures for others to build on as they like, and even handing control over key product decisions directly to users. The reasoning behind doing this is simple: Satisfied customers have always been essential While the window on using the "2.0" quot; suffix is probably closing, I thought it would

How to Get IT and the Business Working Together
My last blog discussed how to promote innovation by dismantling the mistrust that exists between IT and the rest of the business. A seasoned IT vet responded with a self-described "dumb question" that's far from dumb: "I graduated in 1978 from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a BBA in what is now called Information Systems, which is business applications of computers. IT professionals are socially awkward, control-oriented, technophiles This was when both the degree and the university were new. I

Informal Learning 2.0
is the use of emergent social software platforms within companies, or between companies and their partners or customers , according to Andrew McAfee’s original 2006 definition. It’s pretty well a foregone conclusion that many of our organizational structures and business processes that we took for granted in the 20th century are no longer suitable for the networked economy. Enterprise 2.0 What McAfee calls “emergent social software platforms” others call Web 2.0

But for businesses that understand customer insight and innovation, these assumptions are simply not valid.
Certainly, green products will often be more expensive to produce if they are made through the same processes that are In most discussions I have with people about sustainable brands and product or service offerings, someone inevitably asks, "But will customers pay a premium for green products?"

The Evolution of Collaborative Innovation
They were surprised that IBM had so strongly embraced Linux and were wondering what its relevance would be to the world of business. In any event, IBM and its partners would provide support for the Linux-based offerings we sold regardless of how they were developed. At the time, many were baffled as to why people would work on open source projects while not getting paid for their efforts.
