The Next Wave of Technologies is Almost Here (Win a Book!)

I met Phil Simon, the author of "Why New Systems Fail: An Insider's Guide to Successful IT Projects" about a month ago. He told me that he was working on a new book that will be focused on Enterprise 2.0, cloud computing, SaaS and other next-generation technologies that are much talked about, but are not yet understood by everyone in the corporate environment. I found the idea appealing and thought that it would be valuable for you to get to know Phil’s point of view on these popular topics here at the Project Management 2.0 blog. Later on, I plan to review Andrew McAfee’s “Enterprise 2.0: New Collaborative Tools for Your Organization's Toughest Challenges” in this blog, so it will be even more interesting to compare the two viewpoints.

As you may know from my previous posts, I have submitted a session proposal to the Enterprise 2.0 Conference 2010. In my session, I’m going to develop ideas from the presentation “Email Is Dead… Long Live Email!

Recently, the conference organizers announced the opening of the Community Vote, which will play major part in the selection of the sessions that will be presented at the conference in Boston. I’m excited about the start of the voting, and I ask for your support. If you liked my “Email Is Dead… Long Live Email!” presentation, I encourage you to vote for my proposal entitled “Popular to Ubiquitous: How to Skyrocket Adoption.

Andrew Filev , Monday, December 14, 2009 comment Comments (235)
What project management blogs do you read? I’ve assembled a list of blogs that give me substantial food for thought when I write on innovations in project management. The list also includes blogs that serve as great sources of information about Enterprise 2.0, new management methodologies, leadership, motivation, as well as useful project management tips you can use in your day-to-day job. I hope these resources will help you take a look at your management practices from another point of view or perhaps even  push you to radical changes in the ways you manage your projects and teams. I wrote a short summary for every blog, so that it would be more convenient for you. Enjoy!

“Email is Dead…” To Be Continued at Enterprise 2.0 Conference 2010

Andrew Filev , Thursday, November 26, 2009 comment Comments (1)

I recently submitted a presentation to be featured at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference 2010 in Boston. My session will be called “Popular to Ubiquitous: How to Skyrocket Adoption.” In this future session, I plan to develop the ideas that I previously mentioned in my “Email is Dead… Long Live Email!” slide deck. By the way, my “Email is Dead” presentation was marked as “Hot on Facebook” and placed on slideshare.net home page, since the slide deck was talked about on Facebook more than any other document on SlideShare at some point. I really hope that the talk about skyrocketing adoption will generate even more interest.  

You can find the description of my session proposal at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference site and leave a comment there. I would really appreciate your support and feedback!

E-mail Is Dead…Long Live E-mail! from Enterprise2Open

Andrew Filev , Wednesday, November 18, 2009 comment Comments (10)
A couple of weeks ago, I took part in the Enterprise 2.0 Conference San Francisco. As usual, it was a very interesting event, and I was glad to make my contribution to the discussion. Below is the presentation I prepared for the Enterprise 2.0 conference’s Enterprise2Open session. My session was not meant to be just a regular speech. I wanted to create a discussion and share the stage with other E2Open participants. That is why many of the slides in the presentation contain questions to the audience.

The Agile Origins of Project Management 2.0

Andrew Filev , Wednesday, September 02, 2009 comment Comments (3)
In my previous post that was also cross posted on CloudAve, I brought up the topic of enterprise agility. My conclusion was: to be agile and adapt quickly to the ever-changing business environment, you need to be able to blend top-down control with bottom-up agility in a "Ying and Yang" style. I also mentioned the latest research, showing that teams that foster a focused, unified dialogue between their members, managers and stakeholders are 250% more likely to thrive in the present economic situation. Less agile teams are 360% more likely to miss millions of dollars in lost opportunities.

The idea of constant interaction and collaboration between managers, team members and stakeholders is not new, however. Here I want to write a few words about the origins of this idea, which later became the background for Project Management 2.0.
