When the rubber hits the road

Flake from the 1st panel disussion with Don Tapscot at GOOGLE atmosphere 2010 near Paris:

Visions without execution are illusions.
Speed dramatically matters. Enterprise IT has stopped !
And what is with trust ...?

Todays collaboration abolishes old leadership style if the leadership style does not change.

Volumes and culture in a collaborative environment are most important not technic.

Evolution is very paradox. In the era of collaboration transaction costs will go down dramatically (but they will not reach the bottomline of zero).

Companies should focus on what thy can do best. Organizations should focus on best practices.

Is work in the future unbound from time and location ? No: you are always at a certain place in a given time .

The normal user spents approx. 13 hours a week working on e-mail.

In 2013
75 % of mobiles are integrated part of common users workstyle in the US and Japan.
50 % will be the number for Europe in 2013
and
> 40 % will be the numer of users in Asia (ex. Japan).

There is no thing like 'personal productivity' any more. Every thing from now on is collaborative.
The more a company works collaborative there more innovative the company is.

GOOGLE says its datacenters have a

- geospatial
- logical
- replicative
- tranparent

redundancy builtin .

GOOGLE has announced a two-step verification method to authenticate users.
Its done by a soft-token with RSA algorythm generation and is avialable for the most common mobile phone platforms.

Interestingly shortly after GOOGLEs announcement AMAZON AWS published a similar function that is hosted on AWS here.


With GOOGLE DOCS you can upload any filetype by now. You can collaborate on any file and data then automatically.

GOOGLE will announce later in 2010 the seamless integration of GOOGLE Docs with Microsoft Office 2007 upwards.
You can the as an Google Docs user have the total office integration with cloud based collaboration options.
