At a time when job creation is a major issue for governments in all parts of the world, let me propose to think more about new avenues such as the valorization of natural assets as job creators. A good illustration of that could be the tiger in India. This animal, as the reader will soon discover, is a great proxy for anything that can create tourism related jobs. Tourism jobs are economically extremely important because they can benefit from the current explosion of the middle class worldwide and its demand for leisure, travels, tourism; they are largely low skills jobs, therefore allowing many individuals to enter the workforce, and finally they are “development” jobs since the skill improvement is continuous and measurable, from the cleaners to the hotel managers, allowing individuals to build real careers.

Le séminaire de l’Institut Boostzone aura de nouveau lieu en 2010 2011.

Understanding the differences between communities within organizations is a must for grasping the value of any collaborative intelligence eco-system.
I have been working for several years now with the community quadrant diagram, published for the first time in 2007 in what was then mostly a description of communities. In the present post I would like to ouline the implications for the roles of the community managers and for the tools involved.
