Yesterday during lunch I was chatting with a colleague about collaboration and the importance of the vision, but of the organization chart too. You can set up any kind of social platform, if you don’t align your organization (and of course the business process as well) you’ll fail. Let see that in more details how it can works.
A new challenge for this blog, a weekly english post (failed twice in the past but as Confucius said : « The greatest glory isn’t in never falling but  to rise up in every fall »). Why, cause now I am  EMEA Social Business Director at MSLGROUP, and to evangelize my international peers, english fits better than french. Most of the time, I’ll translate post I’ve already written in french for this blog. If they are a little bit old, no worries I’m going to update them.
Here is the first one of a long series I hope 😉

This translation was made possible by a partnership with the company LinguaSpirit, who carried out the work for us. We would like to thank them for it.
Comme vous le savez sans doute hier et avant hier s’est déroulé à Francfort l’Enterprise 2.0 summit, sans doute la plus grande conférence européenne autour de l’Entreprise 2.0.

Bien qu’en langue anglaise (elle est surtout imagée), elle est largement compréhensible pour les francophones.
Pour savoir ce qui s’est dit, allez voir sur twitter #e20s (principalement en anglais).
I’ve been interviewed by L’Atelier (the original french one)Â last week on what middle management and collaborative organizations are. As frequently written before, I believe that communities inside enterprise are born from the top and live at the bottom. So, what about the middle management(french version here) ?
Once during a conference, I’ve asked this question to a speaker who was managing communities in its company. The answer was clear: « The middle management is between two slices of bread, or ham suits or it is crushed ». It reminds me of an article entitled « Death of the middle managers: thinking of Enterprise 2.0 and Corporate Culture Change« . Needless to say that this subject is somehow taboo…
