In my previous post I encouraged all my readers to leave comments in order to compete for a free Enterprise 2.0 Conference. Now it is time to name the winner. Thanks to everybody who participated in my little contest. I liked all the answers and it was really hard to make the final decision. If readers and I had more time, it would make sense to vote for the best answer. Leveraging collective intelligence would be the best way to choose the winner. However, the Conference opens on the 9th of June and the winner has to be chosen as soon as possible. Therefore I will have to make this difficult decision on my own, and name the author of the best comment. Jim Benson is the winner! In his comment he touched a very important topic: successful implementation of Enterprise 2.0 needs cultural evolution. My congratulations, Jim! I hope you'll get the most out of the conference. I also have a $100 discount for the Enterprise 2.0 Conference entrance. I'll give it to the first person who leaves a comment on this post. Don't miss your chance!
. He has a lot to share on how open innovation helps his company be the global leader in scientific and healthcare equipment. Instead of limiting your innovation process to just a few dedicated professionals in-house, you can engage talents from outside the department, outside your organization, even outside your industry and your country. The open innovation model is one of the areas where collective intelligence is leveraged in the most prominent way. In our presentation, Damon and I will observe how open innovation can make your organization more competitive. More revolutionary ideas, increased cost efficiency, new paths to market - these are just a few of the advantages you can gain. In addition to Thermo Fisher's experience, we’ll highlight case studies from different industries, including software, FMCG and others. Whether you're only considering adopting the open innovation model, or you already have your own success story to share – you're more than welcome to join us at the Santa Clara Convention Center! If you plan to attend, drop me a note, and I'll provide you with a promo code for a discount on the conference pass or a free expo pass. If you are a Wrike customer, I also have a limited number of session passes that I could distribute.
I was invited to give a speech at the Project 2.0 panel of the Office 2.0 Conference, which will take place in San Francisco on September 5-7. The conference is established by Ismael Ghalimi, author of the popular IT|Redix blog. He together with a group of other bloggers managed to make the conference a significant event for the IT world.This conference will be focused on product demonstrations, adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise and mobile productivity arenas. Presentations, discussions and debates aim to improve companies’ comprehension of how apply Office 2.0 in their activity. Another goal is to make organizations realize the benefits they get even at the early stage of new-generation technologies adoption. The Office 2.0 conference is announced to be a collective experiment aimed at discovering the future of online productivity and collaboration. That’s why all of the participants are so excited to be there, debate and finally see the results of the event. This conference also will most likely be a source of inspiration for many people connected with the next-generation office productivity tools and enterprise solutions. I’m definitely looking forward to panel discussions where I will share my point of view on the project management 2.0 approach. Hope to see you there.
