I re-read recently a couple of posts by Stowe Boyd, on his notion that “the individual is the new group” (here).
Stowe’s point, as I understand it, is that the important thing for the new social tools is giving people the ability to form the groups they need at the moment they need them (Stowe says this much better and in more detail). This implies that groups (the vast majority of them) are short lived and serve a specific purpose.

The entire buzz around Enterprise 2.0 starts sometimes to seem a bit unrealistic and even boring to some, including me, and some relative perspective is needed.

Nous avons entamé le 24 octobre 2008 une série de 3 petits-déjeuners consacrés aux évolutions du management et de l’organisation de l’entreprise, un mouvement que d’autres ont appelé l’évolution vers l’Entreprise 2.0.
Pour l’Institut Boostzone, ces évolutions sont bien plus fondamentales que la simple application des technologies du Web 2.0 à l’entreprise. Elles résultent de la conjonction de trois tendances lourdes, l’évolution de la technologie, l’évolution du monde du travail, et l’évolution de l’activité économique de l’entreprise vers ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler une économie du savoir.

This video by Mark Bennett is really excellent to explain in simple terms how a community of practice works, how technology can make it global, and how it contributes to the global integration of a company
“… [through communities of practice] we come closer to being one Rio Tinto, all over the world.”
