“Be Innovative, Yet Familiar” – the topic of my presentation at the upcoming Web 2.0 Expo SF

My presentation proposal recently was accepted by the Web 2.0 Expo SF committee. I’ll be speaking about the adoption of Enterprise 2.0 applications and what product decisions can greatly improve it.

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.

Bridging the Three Gaps in Project Management

Andrew Filev , Tuesday, March 25, 2008 comment Comments (9)

MLab Roundtable was a remarkable event. We discussed the ways to improve existing management practices and I had a chance to tell what inspired me to start working on the online project management software - Wrike.
