This document discusses how integrating design thinking with IT project development can lead to more successful outcomes. It proposes a 3-D model consisting of three phases: Discovery, Development, and Deployment.
In the Discovery phase, both design thinking methods like ethnography and traditional strategic analysis are used to understand user needs. For a project with the Virginia Employment Commission, user archetypes were identified which enriched the request for proposal.
The Development phase involves creating prototypes and visual representations of concepts to get user feedback. Iterative testing and refining occurs. Technical requirements are defined later based on the user vision.
Once a strong prototype and business case are established, the potential service moves into the Deployment phase where a final
The document discusses how four forces - globalization, millennials, virtualization, and cloud computing - are changing organizations in fundamental ways and shaping the next generation of work. Key points include how companies must support global customers everywhere through virtualized platforms; how innovations are needed both inside and outside organizations to appeal to millennial employees and customers; and how the cloud, mobility, social tools and broadband are creating a new computing model and user experience.
This document discusses Google's approach to software development, which aims to balance innovation and quality. Some key aspects include:
1. Automating repetitive tasks to free up engineers for more creative work. Testing is integrated throughout development so that writing good code is easier.

The document outlines best practices for developing an intranet. It recommends being user-centered by involving stakeholders throughout the project. It also suggests treating the intranet as a business and communications challenge supported by technology, not solely a technology project. Additionally, it advises planning development phases carefully with wireframes and flowcharts before building, and providing user feedback mechanisms to help ensure adoption and success of the intranet. The intranet should also consider both departmental and topic-based navigation, communicate the benefits of standardization, and enforce standards to drive a transparent user experience. Finally, it notes the intranet is an ongoing program, not a single project, and must reflect organizational change over time.
This document discusses Enterprise 2.0 and knowledge management. It argues that integration is key to the success of social software in businesses. True success requires a coordinated organization, adaptation to technological landscapes, and a new team spirit. The three parts of Enterprise 2.0 are organizational integration through structures and processes, technological integration of tools and architecture, and influencing organizational culture. Starting small with practical applications and gaining experience is recommended over waiting for ideal conditions.

The social listening campaign was set up to collect any mention of “Back to School” and one of the following six retailers - Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, JC Penney, Kmart and Amazon. After the collection, our analysts took a deeper dive into the dataset to tag content based on whether a mom, dad, student or teacher was the one making the post. They also tagged content by the grade the student was going into.

The Top 12 Mission Critical iPad Apps for BusinessMark Fidelman
Mobile devices like iPads are flooding organizations, with more iOS devices being sold than all Macs in the past 28 years. This is making IT jobs more difficult but there are productive apps that can help both employees and IT.

Specialized apps also enable tasks like project management, online meetings and presentations, and monitoring mobile policies. However, users are encouraged to download these apps now before the information self-destructs.

Game Changing Customer Support CommunitiesMark Fidelman
This document traces the evolution of documentation from early cave paintings and Egyptian scrolls to modern online support sites. It discusses how the needs of documentation have changed over time, from recording early histories and religious texts to distributing scientific discoveries and training people on new technologies. The document notes that today's online support sites face challenges in meeting modern customer needs. Customers often leave sites searching elsewhere for answers or arrive at competitors' sites due to outdated, inaccurate or irrelevant content. The document argues that future support needs adaptive sites that provide personalized, mobile-friendly assistance through search, rich media, user contributions and analytics to improve the customer experience.
What if Peter Drucker Taught Enterprise 2.0 Strategy?Mark Fidelman
Peter Drucker (November 19, 1909 – November 11, 2005) was a writer, management consultant, and self-described “social ecologist.” He is in every practical sense the father of modern management strategy.
As a life long Drucker student, I’ve always imagined how he would have taught or wrote about Enterprise 2.0 and its impact on today’s management and companies. So I decided to turn imagination into reality (well… mine at least) and produced a presentation which I believe would have reflected Drucker’s view of Enterprise 2.0:

The 10 Step Framework for Social Content
Law Enforcement 2.0 - The Next GenerationMark Fidelman
This document summarizes MindTouch's collaborative network solution for law enforcement. It describes how the current information storage system makes accessing important information difficult for officers. The solution provides a wiki-based content management system (WikiPD) and tactical information portal (TIP) that connects to CAD systems. This allows officers to easily access and share critical information like criminal histories and gang intelligence. It also provides dashboard views of real-time crime data to help identify patterns. The system aims to break down information silos and improve collaboration between different departments and shifts.
The document discusses how companies can crowdsource content and technical documentation by leveraging their "in-crowd" of employees, customers, partners, and experts. It recommends implementing a collaborative knowledge base (CKB) using MindTouch's open source platform to attract new knowledge and perspectives in a cost-effective way. By engaging the in-crowd through a CKB, companies can foster innovation, produce documentation at a lower cost than internal teams, and build stronger relationships with stakeholders.

Yet, many companies have not implemented Intranet 2.0 concepts. Their
Intranets remain encyclopedic; the users are merely students of static

MindTouch Intranet 2.0 solution, building consensus in its use, and expanding
its reach across the enterprise to create a collaborative environment that fosters
innovation.
InnovatIon and the CollaboratIve Intranet
Web 2.0 revealed the value that can be derived from mass participation. Intranet
2.0 adapts those same social technologies to the smaller enterprise domain to
create a collaborative Intranet. Innovation grows as collective thought is both
enhanced and subjected to the increased scrutiny of real-time collaborators.
It all makes sense when one understands Intranet 2.0 implementation best
practices. Absent the depth and cultural motivation of open web social networks,
a collaborative Intranet can only go where user adoption takes it. And, like the
consensus of collective thought, user adoption is a more reliable indicator of
valuable innovation. User adoption and collective thought grow more efficiently
