The effort follows its launch in November of a test-and-development cloud-based service. Perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of the news is that PayPal is joining IBM as a partner to offer services to

The Healthcare Reform Debates
I learned this first-hand at IBM with efforts like the Internet initiative in 1996 and the Linux initiative in 2000.  For example, when we launched the IBM Linux initiative , some of the companies for whom Linux was a competitive threat went on a ferocious attack.  There have been lawsuits against IBM and other supporters of Linux.  The ongoing US healthcare debates - or is civil war a better description? - remind me how incredibly hard it is to bring about disruptive transformations of any kind.  In my experience, organizing disruptive transformational efforts is very difficult.

The Facebook Imperative Cannot Be Stopped
m energized by the excitement I see for a new generation of collaboration software in the enterprise to replace antiquated Microsoft Sharepoint servers and IBM’s Lotus Notes. Microsoft and IBM have maintained the status quo on enterprise collaboration software too long, and it’s time for a change. Still, I’m astounded that more enterprises haven’t figured out how to tap into the Editor’s note : This guest post is written by Marc Benioff , chairman and CEO of salesforce.com .

  • The Evolution of Collaborative Innovation
    For over a dozen years now the concept of collaborative innovation has been at the center of much of my work.  This is not surprising given the nature of the initiatives I have been associated with during this time.  Foremost among them is the Internet, which I have been closely involved with ever since becoming general manager of IBM’s Internet Division in December of 1995.  The Internet, and all the social media platforms and applications in its wake It is a common theme in my talks and seminars, as well as in my blog.  In January of 2000 we then announced that IBM

    Over time, most of this material will also be added to the every growing “ KS Toolkit ,” another collaborative resource I’ve pointed to frequently. Simone Staiger, my frequent collaborator in these efforts, pointed out this quote and URL from Margaret Wheatley that is a good kick off for the topic. Here are two articles that you might find helpful from IBM: [link] I’ve been co-designing and c0-facilitating a number of workshops for the CGIAR and FAO over the past few years about knowledge sharing, and more recently, this phenomenon people call “social media.”

  • Toward a More Distributed, Collaborative Government
    But, for a distributed organization to work effectively, it must adopt a culture of collaboration across its most important tasks. Collaboration is particularly important when facing new kinds of problems from those you usually deal with – the kinds of problems where truly innovative approaches are typically most needed. In our increasingly networked world, collaboration also extends beyond the firm. There is general agreement that the corporation is going through dramatic changes in the 21st century, driven by a combination of advances in information technologies, the Internet, the fast-changing market environment, and the heightened competitive pressures brought about by globalization.

  • IBM Launches World's Geekiest Social Network, My developerWorks
    Many a neutech hipster looked askance at the huge IBM-plex situated front and center at this year's Web 2.0 They said IBM was doing more to support developers for the new web. So, what is IBM really doing in the social space? And today, IBM is launching a social network conference. No one could deny the hardware/software/services giant's place in tech history (their first plant is now almost 100 years old ), but what did it have to do with the glassy, streamy, widgety world that tech had become?

  • The 2008 IBM Global CEO Study
    IBM just released the 2008 Global CEO Study . IBM has been conducting such studies every two years for the last several years by interviewing hundreds of CEO's around the world. Over three quarters of CEOs see the rise of increasingly informed and collaborative customers as a chance to differentiate their products and services. Four years ago, the 2004 study found that CEOs were emerging from the depressed business environment caused by the bursting of the dot com bubble , and were beginning to shift their priorities from cost cutting to driving profitable growth and strengthening overall financial performance.
