Online collaboration : new ways of working
Le "chief scientist" d'Accenture (titre intéressant) écrit des choses intéressantes sur les outils de collaboration en ligne, et leur impact :
Much as the automobile was
initially regarded as little more than a horseless carriage, today's
collaboration technologies have usually been seen as mere enablers of
electronic communication. However, recent developments in these
technologies—and the ways in which people are beginning to use
them—suggest that collaboration has evolved beyond its utilitarian
stage and is now poised to become a major force in the corporate world. [...] Today, we're starting to
realize that the real promise of collaboration technologies lies in
supporting new ways of working and interacting that simply were not
possible or feasible through traditional means. That's a shift with
huge implications for corporations. [...] Although corporate
adoption is in its early stages, emerging collaboration technologies
may turn out to be the most potent tools companies can wield for
managing their innovation capabilities. Or as John Seely Brown, the
director of Xerox Corp.'s Palo Alto Research Center during its heyday,

innovation."
