As we’ve busily rolled out one social media tool after another within BT, one question has got bigger and bigger in my mind and has become increasingly troublesome … what’s the right balance between recreating stuff on our intranet that already exists on the internet, and just integrating tools from the internet into our intranet [...]

Everyone’s talking about collaboration within the enterprise and excited about using social media tools on intranets … but who owns the business requirements for collaboration within the enterprise?
One of the serious dangers of introducing social media tools onto your intranet is that, because they are ‘free’ and simple to deploy, techies start deploying them left, [...]
Twitter in the enterprise …

A week into using Twitter and my experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive. It takes some getting used to and was very disruptive at first.

One of the key benefits of social media tools in a corporate context for me is letting employees be ‘human’ at work. Until now, as employees we have had to lead double lives.
We get up in the morning as humans – we express our opinions and listen to the opinions of our families … we [...]

In 1984 BT lost its monopoly status with the de-regulation of the UK telecoms market. It has survived by defending its core, traditional business through quality of service, and flourished through diversification and transformation into a global communications services company – utilising its hard earned skills and sweating its key asset – namely its core [...]

An interesting article in today’s Financial Times about the politics of sellers and buyers rating transactions on eBay.

In a comment on the ‘What is an intranet?‘ post, Steve Kent asked if I would talk a bit about the BT Intranet strategy … so here goes.
We’ve made a big effort in the last year to ensure our intranet strategy is very closely aligned with BT’s overall business strategy. We looked at the work [...]
