A.K.A…..
mr. Enterprise2.0
Charlie works here………..
and here………..
Charlie’s Project team are here ………..
so Charl ie has to find ways of working in a global team, in different t ime zones and with people he has never met……..
this is Charlie’s boss……..
Charlie subscribes to his blog via an RSS feed
He feels like he knows him real well, and always knows what he’s thinking and where the company is heading.
he’s never met his boss in person
his boss subscribes to it via an RSS feed
his team subscribe to it via an RSS feed
130 people he doesn’t know subscribe to it via an RSS feed
they all feel like they know him and his project really well
Charlie also has a project blog
Charlie uses BaseCamp to manage his project…….
he assigns tasks & deadlines to team members online
team members communicate & check off tasks online
Charlie monitors progress and workload online
Charlie l ikes tools like BaseCamp because they are l ightweight, easy to use and quick…oh and it has RSS….
No training needed for new team members – sign up and go
Charlie uses the company wiki….. a lot
the wiki is accessible and editable by everyone at the company
to create their own user documentation
he encourages the users to use the company wiki…..
that’s less work for Charlie…..
….and empowerment for the users
collaborative documentation…
Charl ie stores & tags all his bookmarks on the intranet
….everyone can see them….and he can see everyone else’s
his tags highlight his interests & stuff he’s keeping an eye on
he can see who else is interested in the same things by exploring tags
Charlie’s boss & project team use the same Social Bookmarking app……
…..they subscribe to each others tag feeds via RSS
this is Carole
Charlie’s colleague & mentor
Carole normally has lots to say………
so she creates audio podcasts which are aggregated throughout the company
when a new podcast is available from Carole’s blog.....
Charlie is notified via RSS
……….he then downloads, listens to & syndicates the podcast on his own blog
Charlie has a LinkedIn profile……
….so does his boss
….and most of his team
….in fact, that’s how he got the job . Using a Social Network to find contacts and opportunit ies .
….if people don’t know what you can do…..why would they ask you to do it?
Charl ie says……..
advertise yourself!
you see….
..social networking is not just for kids!
from his tags , his blog , his wiki entries and his LinkedIn profile………
people often contact Charlie from different departments and even countries……..
…just to say Hi….or to say, hey, I work on a similar project, how can we collaborate…?
i t ’s about collaboration
18 months ago Charlie was using these tools …..
all on his desktop….
today Charlie uses these tools …..
all through his
browser….
..ask Charlie what his favourite piece of software is………..?
if you were to…….
..he’d give it some thought………
..and say it was a trick question………
..and answer with………
FireFox
..as Charlie uses his favourite browser for almost any app
Ask Charlie what Enterprise2.0 is………..?
