Whatever happened to the Web?

See this related presentation

From Burton Group Research Director Peter O’Kelly:

If you’re a Burton Group Collaboration and Content Strategies subscriber, you may also find a report I wrote in 2006 useful: Hypertext and Compound/Interactive Document Models: Collaboration and Content Management Implications. An excerpt from the synopsis of the Burton Group report:

A funny thing happened on the way to the web. Hypertext, a model for fostering collaboration and content management by flexibly working with information items, essentially took one step forward and two steps back. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), introduced with the World Wide Web, has become the global standard for hypertext content. But, ironically, it’s actually rather basic and limited. As a result, the web has failed to achieve many facets of the vision web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee had in mind in the first place.

The print-centricity dominating most personal computing platforms and tools has also hampered hypertext during recent decades. Although Vannevar Bush eloquently articulated his vision for a much more effective way of working with and collaborating through content more than 60 years ago, today’s most widely deployed platforms and tools are still dominated by conceptual models based on a foundation of digitized file cabinets and traditional documents.

This is all about to change, as the rapid growth of blogs, wikis, and other market dynamics are helping information workers to more fully exploit the advantages of beyond-the-basics hypertext along with compound and interactive document models. Although the trends are also accompanied with the usual assortment of market hype and new buzzwords, they may well, collectively, usher in a renaissance in collaboration and content management.

Hypertext is simply a better form-follows-function fit (than print-centric approaches) for the way people actually think and work. Compound documents facilitate focusing more on information work than on disparate technologies and tools, and foster more effective content management. Interactive document models are used to automatically and unobtrusively offer supplemental resources and actions in context, providing opportunities to more effectively leverage tools and metadata without disruptive context shifts.

Creating a Culture of Innovation

W.L. Gore & Associates did it. So can your company. Watch CEO Terri Kelly's inspiring talk at the MIT Sloan School of Management. More

W. L. Gore & Associates has been called “the most innovative company in America” by Fast Company magazine –and has been named to that magazine’s current Fast 50 list of innovative companies. It’s consistently been listed as one of the best places to work. And its corporate culture de-emphasizes hierarchy so much that its current CEO became CEO only after her peers nominated her. It’s no wonder that W.L. Gore’s current CEO, Terri Kelly, thinks the company’s corporate culture has a lot to do with its ability to innovate.

Use Cases for Corporate Social Software Platforms

Use Cases

Whatever your role, Traction will free you from the aches and pains of managing qualitative information and communicating effectively and efficiently with small or very large teams or stakeholder groups. Below are some examples of popular use cases include. You may also enjoy review the Customer Stories on our website to read about some real life examples.

• Competitive Intelligence and Market Research: Use Traction to collect, organize and selectively distribute information from all sources. Provide your own commentary, reports and analysis with links to the sources captured in Traction.

• Product Management: Use Traction to collect customer feedback, market research, bug reports, and product or feature ideas. Then define features, assign them to versions, mark them To Do and give them priority. Traction can help manage the features or bugs through a process to completion.

• Program Management: Use Traction to define and track program objectives, serve as a communication hub for reports and issue alerts, provide critical information resources to small and large teams on a timely, highly available basis. Traction is also an effective way to label and track issues identified, to be sure they are kept "at the surface" until marked closed or done.

• Research Lab Notebook: Whether doing drug research or product research and development, use traction to document and organize your ideas, issues, Q&A, and findings. Traction's robust audit trail will assist collective understanding and document timing and evolution of ideas.

• Online Documentation: Use Traction to create "wiki-style" documentation for internal or external use. Traction makes it easy for a group of people to work together to create a set of articles linked by unique page names. Authoring rights can be separated from publishing rights, with articles remaining in a draft state until published. This allows readers to be presented with a "latest stable" version of the documentation while revisions are ongoing. See Concepts of Wiki Projects for more information.

• Customer or Partner Communication: Create a project in Traction for a key account or partner. This becomes the secure space for communicating, reporting, and sharing information between the two organizations. You can expose the customer or partner to their project as well as others that are relevant, such as a Support or Market Research project.

• Customer Support: Create a secure or public project in Traction to post information relevant to all your customers or partners. This is an effective way to post and organize FAQs, company updates, and important resources. You may also take questions and comment answers in this space.

• Operations Log: Use Traction to capture activity information in daytime or 24 hour operations. This is highly appropriate for cases where activity and issues raised need to be transparent (but secure) to stakeholders, and where information can get lost in the reporting shuffle between shift operations. Examples may include an emergency room log, ship's log, manufacturing log.

• Company Newsletter: For internal and external distribution. Post news and events to Traction. Let Traction automate the publishing and newsletter generation process.

• Personal Weblog: A very public or very private place to capture your thoughts, ideas, and collected information. Traction provides a robust set of labeling and other tools to effectively organize your knowledge and, where and how appropriate, share with others.

Temaet er kommunikasjon - effektiv kommunikasjon

Vi er ikke wiki eller Enterprise 2.0 frelst. Dette muliggjør en form for kommunikasjon/samhandling.

Men det finnes pre-wiki løsninger som erstatter (eller kompletterer) type kommunikasjon E2.0 muliggjør. Se f.eks. produkter som MindAlign som har det man kaller persistent group chats eller Topic-based persistent channels, tilnærmet forum/diskusjons-steder for forskjellige emner. Alt ment å gjøre info-henting og kommunikasjon mer effektivt. MindAlign er nå kjøpt opp av Microsoft og inngår i Microsoft Universal Communication pakke (chat, tlf/video konferanse, etc). 

I artikkelen: Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration... som også ligger på denne bloggen, rapporterer McAfee fra Dresden bank som innførte 3 kommunikasjonsløsninger: 1. DrKW's inetrnal blog are powered by b2evolution, 2. it's wiki-building software is SocialText, 3. and it's messaging software is MindAlign
