Lots of information have been already distributed through out the net about the Enterprise 2.0 FORUM / Cologne, that took place already nearly two weeks ago.

It’s here at my personal site: “Changing organisations via Enterprise 2.0 – Festo“, while you can find the german language fulltext of the interview here at the Enterprise 2.0 Forum site: […]

I attended a mashup* Event on Enterprise 2.0 in July at BT’s spectacularly plush little auditorium in London (you can watch the whole event on video at that link). It was a pleasant evening, characterised by hearing JP Rangaswami speak (the man is a walking recruitment advertisement for BT: “This could be your boss. Why […]

Two days ago Simon Wardley published a short list of people you want to know for answers to questions within the field of emerging enterprise technologies – while being very pleased that he mentioned this “very young” information ressource I would like to add some more people to his list: Enterprise 2.0: Sören Stamer of […]
