E2.0 Meets Gaming - Collaboration Experiment

"E2.0 Meets Gaming - Collaboration Experiment

A recent post on the Jivespace community sparked the flames of this experiment even higher...

I'm planning on running a few experiments to look at connections between collaboration in the enterprise and collaboration via co-op gaming online, specificaly via Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.

Anyone interested in participating, I'm putting together a spreadsheet (below) of Xbox Live IDs, twitter IDs and 3 games - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: World at War, and Halo 3. Looking to put together as large a co-op team as possible to see how we go about collaborating in-game, and abstract out from there to the enterprise collaboration trends we're constantly researching.

Get the word out - even though I've been using gaming as an enterprise metaphor for roughly 14 years, I haven't taken the next step to dive even more explicitly into what collaboration practices can cross the barriers between consumer gaming and the enterprise."

Enterprise 2.0: Can it really benefit your business? | CIO - Blogs and Discussion

2 years later, and we're still getting traction on our definition of Enterprise 2.0. As I've said before, an overnight sensation doesn't happen overnight.

"A system of web-based technologies that provide rapid and agile collaboration, information sharing, emergence and integration capabilities in the extended enterprise".

(Enterprise 2.0 defined by Carl Frappaolo and Dan Keldsen of Information Architected in a report written for Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM))

ECM Stuff: Now AIIM Enterprise 2.0 Practitioner Certified

I've known Jed for several years, first met in Aarhus, Denmark in 2007, and have maintained connections through his departure from the UK to Toronto. Sharp fellow, great to hear our Enterprise 2.0 training course met with his approval.

"That said, I did listen to all of Dan Keldsen's presentations, and read through all of the material in order to provide a rather light weight assessment for you my readers (OK, a friend said he was thinking of taking the course and asked me to provide my opinion). I first met Dan at a conference years ago and there is no doubt that he "knows his stuff" as we say in Yorkshire. Just to make it clear, I did the online elearning version of this course, not the class room version. I have done both before, and generally I find all AIIM training materials to have been of good quality, and morevoer, actually useful in 'real world' work."

Smashwords - How to Publish on Smashwords

Continuing investigating ebook publishing - and the wide variety of tools, oriented towards consumers, authors, commercial venues, academic publications, enterprise use, you name it. It's a confusing market. And to think my accidental introduction to content management was through (shudder) SGML over 20 years ago.

Foursquare Introduces New Tools for Businesses - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com

The # of users of Foursquare is a tiny fraction of the potential users, so let's not get carried away just yet, but for those locations that take advantage of this type of social proof stand to blow the doors off of their clueless competition. Should be a sign that the business *already cares about customer satisfaction/engagement* as well. The clueless are likely to remain blissfully ignorant.
