The French challenges for Enterprise 2.0

I took this slide from this very nice SlideShare presentation of Cecil Dijoux. (See his blog also for an English version but without this slide!) He clearly captures the problems to be solved when adopting E20 initiatives in France. In our Tinychat session with Bertrand Duperrin (which is still not documentated - unfortunately!) we were also discussing this aspect. Bertrand had listed his thoughts on this also in a blog post.

Hi,

Hey vielen dank fur die link ! Actually it's not She but He I am afraid.

Just a quick note on the list above. Each of these topic is the subject of a book and/or a blog post I did. Unfortunately, all in french. Respectively :
- Le Capitalisme d'heritiers (Thomas Philippon) - http://bit.ly/UOdOk
- La société de défiance (Yann Algan, Pierre Cahuc) - http://bit.ly/3OfeJI
- http://bit.ly/3fB0TD. Baseline : in France Enterprise = exploitation of the working class
- La societe de deception (Gilles Lipovetsky) - http://bit.ly/1CJRzF
- http://bit.ly/4FAt9c : Another blog post related to how people in France that get power and social position thanks to their knowledge are really defiant towards internet. They see it as a srong threat to their knowledge based power and position. Read researchers, journalists, experts etc ...

Hi Ceciiil -

I am very sorry about the wrong gender - anyway I corrected it in the above published post. I like your strong statement: "They see it as a strong threat to their knowledge based power and position." => so the question is how do we overcome those ressentiments? Or further - do we need at first a change of generation in central Europe in order to succeed with the ideas of Enterprise 2.0?

No problem Bjoern.

I guess the best thing we can do is pedagogy. Explain and let them see the online world around them. Let them play with facebook and twitter and blogs and let them dig into wikipedia.

If they continue and ignore this society shift or have a patronizing attitude towards electronic culture, well too bad for them.

There is a fascinating book about this very problem : Netocracy by Alexander Bard. A strongly recommended read.
