I asked a question to the class at the end of the lesson – Would prefer to work with an organisation with or without these tools?

The response were as follows:
1) An organisation with these tools – approx 75% of students raised their hands
2) An organisation without these tool – no one raised their hands

I guess just this simple 1 minute survey with the future of working generation says alot about what organisations need to do to improve their internal systems.

Anyway, the presentation as below:

There is a growing importance to use Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 concepts in human resources. Last week, I attended and presented at the Inspecht HR Futures Conference in Melbourne. The Inspecht HR Futures Conference brought together speakers covering all areas of HR, Recruiting and Technology to discuss how social media, innovation, culture and technology empower, attract, engage and evolve employees.

I presented how BearingPoint leverage Web 2.0 technologies to assist us in engaging our internal team members through the BearingPoint Wiki and shared some of my experiences and benefits using the tool in my day to day work. Following on, I explained how BearingPoint is reaching out to external information management experts through Mike2.0 where it provided us with an excellent platform to interact and discuss information management.

My presentation is below:

It was a fantastic day with great discussions that went on from using Enterprise 2.0 to learn, professional development, usage of it in HR, general web 2.0 usage and Enterprise 2.0 for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

I had the luxury to meet some extremely smart people from around Australia and I had a great time discussing about Enterprise 2.0 in general. Kudos to Trib, WonderWebby, AnneBB, Joris and Matt from Atlassian. Thanks for the great presentations and wonderful discussions. (If you are wondering why some of the names are more like nicks, its because these are their twitterIDs)

I spoke about how BearingPoint used Wikis internally and externally, our approach and our results. I know some people are waiting for my presentation to be put online. Yes its coming. BearingPoint is putting it up on our corporate blog – NewThinking. Until then, hang in there. Below are slides from Trib and WonderWebby

After much thought into what I would want to speak, I decided that there is no point to approach it with a technology focus. I decided that these students need to know that even though these technologies are not rocket science but it changes the way people work to a large extent. Things like collaboration, innovation, discussions, transparency, communication via the web/enterprise 2.0 platform instead of emails should all be discussed.

What do you think? Should this be the approach to discuss web 2.0 and enterprise 2.0 to students who do not have a strong understanding of the topic?
