E2.0 conferences, including Mark Masterson on CSC's C3 journey

via vimeo.com

I'm only just starting to catch up on the commentary from some of the recent run of Enterprise 2.0 related conferences. I really enjoyed this recording of CSC's Mark Masterson's lively and rapid presentation at the International Forum on Enterprise 2.0 held in Milan back at the beginning of June. You can read more about C3 in Claire Flanagan's case study post, including her slides from the Enterprise 2.0 conference in the US this month.

In fact, a big hat tip to the forum's organisers as almost all of the presentations appear to be available on Vimeo and many presenters have also shared their slides online. I haven't even begun to work through all this content.

Meanwhile, over at the Enterprise 2.0 Boston 2010 conference, Dion Hinchcliffe shares his thoughts on that event and identifies his two biggest take-aways:

  • Designing Enterprises for Loss of Control; and
  • Enterprises Are Going Social.

Likewise, you can also watch recordings from Boson online too.

I'm sure there is more I've missed, but I'm still working my way through some unread feeds!

Just seen on E2TV - Lesson Learned from the 2.0 Thoroughbreds

Just seen on E2TV. For the record, I've never said otherwise, but good to see evidence supporting this now coming through from the field.

Having said that, the important point to also consider here is that the risks and cost associated with the technology itself have vastly improved. And as RRW comment:

What's striking about asking questions about all of this is the absence of discussions about the monumental waste in IT spending over the years. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been lost to IT projects that have gone hay wire. The new world of enterprise 2.0 technologies are lightweight in comparison and a fraction of the cost.

And we haven't even begun to take into account the actual benefits of organisations that can work more productively, using social computing.
