Ok - It's Called Enterprise 2.0

I hate the 2.0 label. Hate it hate it hate it. Hate it. However, I’ve heard the phrase “Enterprise 2.0” 3,625 times in the past two weeks. All my enterprise friends are using it. All the big companies I work with have been using it. All the analysts have been using it. It’s even in Wikipedia. I yield.

Re: Hit or Miss: Dancejam Re: Hit or Miss: Dancejam - There certainly are a lot of these video exchange sites out there. There's another one I found out about just two weeks ago - probably because they paid big bucks to be on the TV show NCIS. Called...okay, I'm having a senior moment.... I Can Beat That .com or something similar. Rather than videos, people upload t heir best photos for Best Ugly Face, Best Air Guitar photo, and so on. I looked at it just to see if the NCIS guys were actually on it, and they are... but never bothered to go back as its not something that interests me...
Re: What would you like to see be invented? Re: What would you like to see be invented? - Hi GT, All I know is that Paul Walker is one of the main characters in Timeline. On the Star Trek side, there's one invention we already have that's very similar, just not as good. All of the doors on the Enterprise automatically open when someone gets to them, and then automatically close after they've passed through. We have that technology in every supermarket store. What I would like to see as an improvement is that all of those doors open much faster, like they did on Star Trek. Sometimes I have to wait for the doors to open because they don't start to open until I'm almost running into them, and then they open rather slow. If they could improve on them and have them more like the doors in Star Trek that would be awesome.
Women Entrepreneur Tips Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.
