German companies overcome E2.0 challenges.

Updated 3 months, 3 weeks ago

The best quote from my visit to the E2.0 Summit in Frankfurt was shared by a community manager who works in a large French tel-com.

I am prepared to be surprised.

We were talking about his E2.0 initiative which is now gaining momentum and is on the path to success.  I loved this mindset.  It is incredibly [...]

Gil – Most definitely no single best way to approach Enterprise 2.0, and it’s quite interesting to hear how people have to change/bend/break or even establish rules that are contrary to the “typical” notions of Enterprise 2.0.

There are certainly many instances where anonymous use makes perfect sense – it can either throw a barrier in the way (anonymous idiots) ... See all content

Andrea,

thanks for letting us know about Switzerland. Let us also know about the event (and if there is any way I can help you with it).

I’m familiar with IntroNetworks and have been impressed with my conversations with Mark Sylvester, the CEO. I’d say they think differently, and I say that as a compliment. They have a very thoughtful platform that is pretty easy to navigate ... See all content

Chris,

Let me take this even further. One of the common ways to address the challenges in the German E2.0 marketplace is to allow for anonymous wiki editing and comments. But all the experts (including me, if I may be so bold to claim that status), will tell you that anonymity is an anti-pattern since it allows the kind of permissiveness that many executives fear.

But alas this is ... See all content

Fascinating stuff, Gil. I’ve been banging the drum for the past week or so that E2.0 advocates need to consider how to make the technology relevant to employee’s comp plans.

For many, the answer is to make adoption part of the bonus structure.

And in Germany, you’re not even allowed to do that.

I think it points the way towards where things need to go–E2 ... See all content

Thank Michael!

Indeed there are lots of challenges, but I must tell you (all) how amazing it was to see all the hands raised when I asked who represented organizations who have already implemented E2.0 tools and practices. More than half the room! And most were German (though we had people from France, Italy, Norway, UK, and Switzerland — perhaps others too).

So I was surprised ... See all content

Dear Gil, I found you through your post on intronetworks. As a Professor in the German speaking part of Switzerland, I know the community (Kongress Media, Prof. Niemeier) very well. For Switzerland, these restrictions/barriers to faster adoption of e20 do not apply. So I am positive, we can get enterprises going onto the path for what is promising in the enterprise 2.0 field. E.g. colleagues from Austria ... See all content
