Nutzungsoffenheit / Verwendungsoffenheit (EN)

KE — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:13:26 GMT

During the Enterprise 2.0 Summit (#e20s, #e20summit) in Frankfurt last week, the german term Nutzungsoffenheit was highlighted in connection with the nice phrase "Vorsprung durch Nutzungsoffenheit" coined by Alex Stocker and Alex Richter. An allusion to Audi's advertising phrase "Vorsprung durch Technik" some years ago. Since I am also dealing especially with the challenges created by "Nutzungsoffenheit" or "Verwendungsoffenheit" (s. here and google) for quite a while, I would like to drop some words on the term.

First of all, it is covered to some extend by what Dion Hinchcliffe calls "freeform" in his FLATNESSES extension to McAfee's SLATES. As opposed to transactional software and ERP systems, social software allows freeform HTML text in most cases. This creates some challenges when retrieving information, a topic that often unfolds in wiki projects.

Of course does social software also shape (for the windsurfers!)/frame (for the sociologists!) the mediated interactions between users, especially when it comes to connecting or disconnecting "friends".

So NO/VO refers to the variety of scenarios social software can be used in (usage scenario, sometimes also entitled use cases). One nice aspect could be, that "Offenheit" (openness) might, and in most cases should, also relate to the permission system applied on/to the information stored in these systems. In most cases criss cross integration by simple mechanisms like URLs and RSS work most efficiently in open collaboration and networking systems (so CIOs, if you want to save a lot of money, here is one lever ;-).

Social Software Vulkan – Weiterentwicklung des Dreiecks

KE — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 08:39:50 GMT

die (vorerst) letzte Entwicklungsstufe meiner Anpassungen des Social Software Dreiecks stellt der "Social Software Vulkan ~~Hut~~" dar.

Dieses "Modell" zieht sich so auch durch meine Dissertation (S. 77-78; S. 150).~~, die angenommen, begutachtet wurde und, nach der Disputation, ihrer zügigen Veröffentlichung harrt ;-)~~

Hier aber schon mal die Darstellung und die Referenzen auf einige Entwicklungsstufen aus denen für Fachleute schon ersichtlich ist, wie die "Eckpunkte" gemeint sind.

In die Fläche lassen sich unterschiedliche Elemente einordnen. Ich habe das Schema hauptsächlich für Funktion(sblöck)en von Social Software und Verwendungszwecken von Nutzern verwendet.

Communities for Novices (IBM)

well, nice story

but some aspects leave me puzzled

project plans are assigned to novices / rookies (for a given topic)
communities for "likeminded" employees are a way to "teach" these novices in one day so that they can succeed in front of their bosses
the verb "to collaborate" is used for (probably) shifting slides and digital fragemnts around

Pretty nice . and pretty naive, sorry!

I like Peter Schütt's analogy much more, where he compares business to a soccer team where you know, when to pass on the ball!

Social Software Triangle reconsidered

KE — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:53:43 GMT

or: meet TIM, POC and NIM

For the purpose of my dissertation it is more convenient to lay out the social software triangle this way (compared to this version)

It is a framework to position generic/abstract forms of usage of these tools. Of course I like it, when blogs are in the center, which also means that they are even more underdetermined than the other ones. Positions can (and will!) change by adding (or removing?) respective functionalities to the tools. E.g. adding widgets for social network awareness to wikis (based on co-authorship relations) will shift it into the NIM direction.

Other labels for the corners (counter clockwise, starting bottom left) could be: Organization of Knowledge, Communication of Knowledge(?) and Selections of Knowledge. For those from the KM tradition.
