Web apps are great, until you get on a 9-hour flight

From Dion Hinchcliffe‘s Facebook updates earlier today: Dion Hinchcliffe is getting on a plane from Europe to SFO. He’s really starting to feel the need for Web apps that run offline. As someone with over 35,000 flight miles on the clock so far this year, I feel your pain.

Enterprise 2.0 Camp: Anthony Williams

I’m at Enterprise 2.0 Camp today, and Anthony Williams is the first breakfast speaker. He’s giving the Wikinomics lesson in short — how we’re undergoing an economic transformation because of the collaborative nature of value creation that’s happening due to both Web 2.0 internet applications and social networking principles being introduced into the enterprise. He [...]

Shared Insights PCC: RSS in the Enterprise

My session on the changing face of BPM went pretty well, except for one guy who said that I was wrong about pretty much everything Today finishes early, so I’m at the last breakout session, Colin White discussing using RSS in the enterprise, and the broader subject of using web syndication to deliver content to [...]

Shared Insights PCC: AvenueA|Razorfish intranet wiki

I skipped this morning’s taxonomy/folksonomy smackdown featuring Seth Earley and Zach Wahl — I just wasn’t up for that much testosterone this early in the morning – and went to the best practices track to hear about how AvenueA|Razorfish implemented their internal wiki. I’m speaking next, so if this session isn’t sufficiently riveting, I’ll duck out [...]

Shared Insights: Two-Day Wrap-Up

Apparently there was no wrap-up session yesterday, so the last session today wrapped up the past two days. Colin White, who has been running this conference for 8 years, was joined by three of his regular presenters: Shawn Shell of Consejo, Tony Byrne of CMS Watch, and Zach Wahl of Project Performance. The discussion was pretty [...]

TUCON: Technology Buzz Panel

Next up in the general session is the technology buzz panel, where “journalists, analysts, and industry experts square off on buzzwords of the day”. The moderator was Gary Beach of CIO Magazine, with panelists Frank Kenney of Gartner, Jason Maynard of Credit Suisse, Rob Strickland of T-Mobile USA, and Aaron Ricadela of BusinessWeek. Their initial goal is to eliminate four tech [...]

The New Software Industry: Investment Opportunities Panel

Jason Maynard of Credit Suisse moderated a panel on investment opportunities in the new software industry, which included Bill Burnham of Inductive Capital, Scott Russell (who was with two different venture capital firms but doesn’t appear to be with one at this time, although his title is listed as “venture capitalist”), and Ann Winblad of [...]

Okay, now I am starting to get paranoid…

After several weeks of receiving emails saying “Good news! We expect to have your account activated within the week.”, I received this: Is there something that Lombardi doesn’t want me to see?

BPM and Enterprise 2.0 — what a blast!

I just had a great time hosting the BPM and Enterprise 2.0 panel with Phil, Phil and Ismael. These three have some radically different viewpoints, which made for a lively discussion (insert graphic of me dressed as a lion tamer, complete with whip and chair). My favourite quote from the panel, from Phil Larson when [...]

More on the Enterprise 2.0 conference

I’m now confirmed to head to Boston in June for the Enterprise 2.0 conference, where I’ll be doing my usual live-blogging coverage under this tag. More on this as we get closer to the event.

BPM in Action panel

If you enjoyed the free-for-all discussion at the end of the webinar that I moderated with Colin Teubner and Jim Rudden a few weeks back, you’re going to love the panel that I’m hosting next week on BPM and Enterprise 2.0 as part of the BPM in Action series. It’s not sponsored by a vendor, [...]

Waiting for Blueprint

In the world of Web 2.0, there’s always some hot new service that you have to be invited to join, then you get on a waiting list, then (after a while) you finally get an account. Remember when Gmail was launched, for example? This is a brilliant idea from a marketing standpoint, because it creates [...]

Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston

CMP‘s Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston on June 18-21 has opened up for registration. Topics include the changing role of IT (presumably as it becomes more commoditized and outsourced), creating a culture of collaboration, consumerization of the enterprise and others. Andrew McAfee (inventor of the term “Enterprise 2.0″), David Weinberger (co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto) [...]

Naked Process Modelling with Lombardi

“Naked blogging” is a term that’s applied to living your life transparently on the web through your blog and other social media, like Flickr, del.icio.us, Skype, LinkedIn, Library Thing and Facebook. Most of my friends around my age (which, as you can tell from many of my online profiles, is 46) are appalled at the [...]

ProcessWorld Day 1: Briefing with Trevor Naidoo of IDS Scheer

I skipped the last breakout session of the day for a discussion with Trevor Naidoo, IDS Scheer‘s Director of ARIS Solution Engineering. He’s responsible for the pre-sales technical activities, and used to be an ARIS customer, so is very familiar with how customers use the product and how they want to use it. We spoke [...]

Speaking at Shared Insights Collaboration Conference

The agenda for the May Shared Insights conference on Portals, Collaboration and Content is online, with me in a speaking slot on the morning of the last day talking about the changing face of BPM.

EnterpriseCamp (the unconference edition)

I’m not sure why Bryce Johnson thought that he’d have full turnout at 9:30am on a Saturday, even for something as exciting as EnterpriseCamp, but a few of us managed to make it on time. Of course, my brain is still in a time zone some where east of here and I’m waking up at [...]

EnterpriseCamp, the unconference edition

Assuming that the logistics can be worked out, we’ll be having an unconference edition of EnterpriseCamp in Toronto on Saturday, January 13th. You can find out more about it, and sign up to attend, here. From Bryce Johnson‘s description: This is going to be a different focus then our regular events. This event focuses on [...]

Enterprise 2.0 Camp

Last week, we held a second Enterprise 2.0 Camp here in Toronto. Tom Purves was the organizer and also the first presenter; he has posted his notes and presentation slides and promises to post some follow-ups in the days ahead. (btw, Tom introduced me to slideshare, which I’ve just started using for embedding presentations in [...]

Web 2.0 and BPM slides on slideshare

I’ve posted a downloadable version of the slides from my presentation on Web 2.0 and BPM from the BPMG in London a couple of months back, but here it is shared via slideshare. You can go through the slides in place below using the controls below the slide, or click on the slide to take [...]
