The Many Commandments of Social Media Argumentation

Anarchy, Society and Social Media
Some people struggle to recognize the great importance of anarchy to society. Unfortunately, these folks have been influenced by government propaganda that anarchy is intrinsically wrong. They have been brainwashed to believe that larger and...
Enterprise KM Metrics
There is a lot of deceptive nonsense about knowledge management (KM) measures and metrics. Let’s face it, for typical commercial business activities there is only one enterprise KM metric – discounted cash flow (DCF). Sure, there are...

Enterprise SNS
The problems with enterprise social network services (SNS) are pervasive, insidious and costly. (Please don’t call them social media.) Fortunately, the solutions are simple and free. Unfortunately, various industry actors, and their hype, hubris and hyperbole,...
Enterprise Software Research
How Do Enterprise Buyers Research New Software? Some colleagues have created this nice straw man on enterprise software research. They asked for feedback. Below are suggestions and improvements from Colabria Action Research. Visit “How Do...
Enterprise Mega-Shifts
The enterprise is undergoing massive, seismic shifts. The last enterprise mega-shifts were in the late 1980s and 1990s. Prior to the 1980s, for most of the 20th Century, businesses were organized functionally. Discrete corporate departments...
Social Media Failure
It is disappointing to still hear the near-religious advocacy of ‘engineering processes’ for knowledge, knowledge management (KM) and, most recently, social media. All the ridiculous pap on social media processes, metrics and ROI can be...
Social Business
Too often people add subjective meaning to ‘social.’ Social does not mean wind chimes and incense and campfire Kumbaya parties. Social is simply interaction of organisms with other organisms. Social can be good or bad....
Enterprise Tribes
A close and respected mid-Atlantic region colleague, concerned about political machinations, mass shootings and government shutdown, said, in so many words, they were concerned and fed up with ‘tribalism.’ Quite to the contrary, it is...
Enterprise Leadership

Enterprise Code Words
In the popular, five-season, 1960s television comedy Get Smart, the notoriously unreliable ‘Cone of Silence’ appeared often. The ‘Cone’ was a sound-proof polycarbonate device to protect the most secret of conversations among the functionaries of...

Enterprise Mashups
Finally, after decades of painful disasters and frustration, the corporate IT establishment and KM begin to embrace networks, markets and complexity science vis-a-vis enterprise mashups. BTW, forget about ‘enterprise architecture’ or SOA for authentic...
