Turning of the Tide
Value | No comments | January 27th, 2009
Over the past couple of months, there have been a few people I have talked to about my ideas and future plans. Nathan Gilliatt has been one of those people. Every time we have talked lately, he says; “Have you been reading Peter Kim?”, and sadly I had to admit that I hadn’t. My excuse is that I have been spending the majority of my time getting Decision 3D ready for business. So today finally, I did read Peter Kim. Wow. I certainly have been missing out on a great conversation.
Here is a bit from one of Peter’s recent posts:
We need to improve what we do today with the ultimate goal of changing the way we work and connect with co-workers, customers, suppliers, shareholders, and other system participants. Social technologies should change the world of work – applied to not just to marketing and IT, but also HR, finance, legal, and every other functional area. And potentially change the functions that exist at all.
I am excited by the implication of what Peter is saying. That implication being that the leading thinkers and practioners in the area of social enterprise are beginning to move away from discussions of tools per se and toward how these tools can be part of broader solutins to real business problems.
I hope that Decision 3D will be able to contribute significantly to this conversation.
