Wall-E and Wikinomics (Wikinomics.com)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:52:03 GMT

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:28:15 GMT

If this picture of the enterprise octopus doesn’t encourage you to read Sam Lawrence’s post on enterprise technology (how it’s moving from file-centric to people-centric), I don’t know what will… wikinomics readers should particularly like the “co section” of the post: co-creation, co-operation, co-learning, co-ordination, co-respect, co-solve.
