Corporate Productivity Tool-chain

Or what is the name for corporate "life hack"?

Discussions about an enterprise blogging project and it's culture change at the recent BlogCamp showed that channel-based semantic publishing found it's way into corporate headquarters. I guess that's because the first digital natives generation reached the corporate ladder and are about to transform their workplace.

Working for a small tech-savvy outfit (read: 80% software engineers) with a friendly corporate productive playground - we are right now at following picture (slide from an internal presentation I gave in June 2007):


Best to read from bottom to top.

Wrote about this in "Proven Setup: A People + Skype + Wiki + Task Tracking + Whiteboard" (May 2007).

Beyond the general agreement that the setup produces the wished results (increased team productivity) there are challenges in partner integration. The bridge to partners with "less web-based tool-chain" causes disruption of continuity. Further - the fallback to e-mail - instead of feed reading - causes over-head. It's surprising that "feed readers" are still not part of the default "desktop setup" - are they still too hard to use?

BlogCamp Speech about the Geoweb

Zurich was scene of the 2nd BlogCamp - a BarCamp style unconference on the bogging topic. Me spending quite some time with geospatial information management and search lately - decided to share a few tricks how bloggers can take part in the emerging Geoweb.

Here my slides presented:


And yes Reto - I did gave my speech in English (I did asked the audience and they voted in favour as we had none German speaking guests). And no - I did not talked about local.ch ;-)

Links shown during the presentation can be found at: http://del.icio.us/keepthebyte/geoweb

I really enjoyed listening and meeting some old and interesting new friends.
