James Dellow aka Chieftech (from Headshift | Dachis Group) invites you to join him for breakfast to chat informally about Social Business Strategy, Workforce Engagement, Customer Engagement, and Social Analytics and Business Intelligence using social technologies.

I'm in Melbourne next week, so I though it might be worthwhile to kick off the new year with an informal meetup to talk about anything Social Business Design related, expanding the topic of past meetups beyond simply "Enterprise 2.0".

As usual, please RSVP with a comment here or jump on to Upcoming.

Enterprise 2.0 for Breakfast Canberra (Thursday July 1, 2010)

Thursday July 1, 2010 at 8:00am
Urban Food Store + Cafe
Corner of Marcus Clarke and Edinburgh Streets
Acton, Australian Capital Territory 2601 Get Directions

James Dellow, Daniel Siddle and Chris Adams from Headshift invite you to join them for breakfast to chat informally about Enterprise 2.0 and other related topics like Corporate Social Networks, Knowledge Management, Intranet 2.0 and Workforce Collaboration.

As this is Canberra, we expect there to be a strong Government 2.0 flavour, but very much focused on the issues of internal collaboration and inter-agency collaboration. (As we like to say, if you want to be social on the outside, you need to be social on the inside too!)

Come along to ask questions and share your experiences of introducing social computing to the enterprise or your government agency.

BTW Sorry its not quite central Civic, but I've been told its a great venue and the breakfast menu looks great (PDF).

Yesterday's Enterprise 2.0 for Breakfast: The back of an envelope edition

Scaled

Unfortunately, due to a last minute family commitment, I didn't actually get to Enterprise 2.0 to Breakfast yesterday. Luckily Anne from Headshift stepped in to co-host in my place and with a bit of ingenious sign posting was able to get everyone into the same spot. I think that approach is quite fitting for Enterprise 2.0 - a simple, but effective solution to a problem!

If I recall Anne's summary to me later, the conversation this time around included Alex Manchester (Step Two), Kai Riemer (Uni of Syd), Matt Moore (Innotecture), Neil Phillps (Unique World), Jarrod Swan (IBM) and Alister Webb (Telstra). I know there were quite a few others like Michael interested who like me couldn't make it on the day, so hopefully we'll get to see even more new faces at our next meetup in a few months time.

Ok. This isn't quite to the same scale of the The 2.0 Adoption (who recently joined the Dachis Group family of companies, along with Headshift). However, its still a chance to come along and take part in an informal peer forum to discuss anything related to Enterprise 2.0.

Please RSVP on upcoming or simple add a comment below. And of course, feel free to spread the word.

The Enterprise 2.0 Breakfast comes to Melbourne

Pastedgraphic

A big thank you to everyone in Melbourne for joining Anne and I for an Enterprise 2.0 breakfast. As always the conversation covered a lot of topics, mostly related one way or another to the topic of 'Enterprise 2.0'.

Howard Emery (pictured at the back of the group, in a black jacket) provided some conversational inspiration for me, with his recent guest post on the Headshift Australasia blog. As we walked over to Southbank from the hotel in the city, Anne and I ended up chatting about the differences between Sydney and Melbourne (as you do!). Naturally, we ended up talking about one of my favourites topics, which is the idea of treating information environments as a kind of urban environment that people have to navigate through - it raises all sorts of interesting questions about design, planning but also if it is possible to transplant one culture from one place to another. That conversation spilled over into the breakfast conversation, although I also ended up talking about everything from the future of intranets as being about getting things done and the challenges of encouraging senior managers to engage online with each other.

I'm expecting the next Enterprise 2.0 Breakfast will be back in Sydney, sometime in April or May. Stay tuned for details from me or Alex Manchester (over at Step Two Designs) for details.

BTW tomorrow (Thursday) I'm at the second day of the Hargraves Institute's Innovation 2010 conference, talking about Social Business Design (which coincides with the start of Social Business Summit series in Austin, Texas tomorrow too).

Enterprise 2.0 for Breakfast this morning #e20forbreakfastsyd

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Enterprise 2.0 meet up this morning, here in Sydney. One of the main themes in the conversation this morning was discussing our own experiences of the different organisational factors - such as internal politics, perceptions of productivity in the workplace, information security concerns and generational change - that get in the way of effectively introducing enterprise social computing.

Unfortunately, due a sporting injury, Alex wasn't was able to make it this time but hopefully he'll be recovered for our next meet up. If you couldn't make today either but would like to be invited to future meet ups, please get in touch with your twitter or email details so I can 'ping' you when we schedule our next event.
