Meet the IBMer Charlie
Two years ago a presentation titled “Meet Charlie” became one of the most popular visual aids for promoting the concept of Enterprise2.0. “Charlie” is a typical Gen Y employee who brings his everyday web habits (i.e. reading blogs, collaborating through wikis, sharing bookmarks and connecting with friends and colleagues using social networks) into his work environment.
A lot has happened in the field of Enterprise2.0 since the original “Meet Charlie” presentation was published by Scott Gavin. Charlie has become an E2.0 icon and many takeoffs were based upon his collaborative work adventures.
I’m writing all this, because today I encountered with a very good “Meet Charlie” takeoff made by two IBMers, Sandra Kogan and Chris Reckling who wanted to present the abilities of the latest version of IBM’s E2.0 application, Lotus Connections (via Luis Suarez):
Hi Dvir! Many thanks for the link love and for helping out spread the message around that presentation that both Sandra and Chris put together. Glad to hear your readers have been exposed to it. Too good to let it go just like that!
heh
We probably need to keep spreading the message about it to some other folks who may be new to Enterprise 2.0 altogether, so they can see the true potential of what productivity is like, don’t you think? Either way, thanks again for the link love and look forward to speaking with you soon!
Hi Luis, I totally agree, but I’m not Dvir, I’m Israel
LOL!! Hiya, Israel, my friend! You see? This is what happens when you don’t have enough coffee already in the morning to get you started and you think you got the right blog with the right comment. Whooops, I didn’t! Either way, thanks for letting me know and for putting me straight. I apologise about the mix up and glad you also know Dvir
hehe
(What was I thinking, eh? Again, apologies and thanks again for the link love and the comment on the my blog. Appreciated!)
No problem Luis!
