Burg http://randgaenge.net/2008/values-of-networks/2717/ Great read (particularly the conclusion) if you are in either corporate social responsibility (CSR) or the () consulting business. Compare also Connect + Develop.

Harnessing the value propositions of networks is probably one of the biggest business challenges for the next 10 years to come. If you are in the IT business analyst business it clearly indicates that you need to provide communication tools beyond corporate intra/extranets.

Well – social networks+ are going to have a bright future I’d say. But only if they are aligned with corporate strategy and communications or better vice versa. That’s the entry point for consulting. Not the IT- department (except you are selling commodity)

Stanford Social Innovation Review : The Greening of Wal-Mart (March 11, 2008): “At the heart of Wal-Mart’s business sustainability strategy is a shift from generating value through price-based, transactional interactions toward generating value from longer-term, collaborative relationships with nonprofits, suppliers, and other external stakeholders. Through its sustainable value networks, Wal-Mart gains a whole-system perspective that helps the retailer find profitable ways to address environmental issues such as fishery depletion, climate change, and pollution. In exchange, nonprofit network members stand to make giant leaps toward their missions because of the scale of Wal-Mart’s operations. And suppliers enjoy not only the stability that closer relationships with the retail giant brings, but also the assistance and guidance of Wal-Mart’s nonprofit partners.”

Burg http://randgaenge.net/2007/10/15/kvp-becomes-a-social-object/ I wanted to mention that CIP project already some time ago – but some changes are ahead (I’ll report that later ;-) . So what are we actually doing . I’m consulting and managing the project – factline is doing the software part of it. The project is commissioned by a big Austrian firm that deals with wood, and additional materials. It’s holding consists of several firms that all have a [tag-ice]CIP[/tag-ice] (or KVP) implemented, partly on MS Access partly on Lotus Notes, partly on Excel and Word. So what are we doing. We will bring those reports online and create a shared environment for all employees. In that environment those reports – they are pulled from the existing databases – are supposed to work as social objects that employees gather around.

Eventually the entire process will move online as the CEO of that Austrian holding is looking for a blend of Wikipedia, Google for his corporation. Well, let’s wait for the implementation across 10 firms.
