"Rate This Quantcast Having been a program manager for several years, I always liked the crappy discussions about investments in infrastructure and business cases. I do not say that any investment in new technology should be considered to be an investment in infrastructure but indeed there are circumstances. Great read to react and act on!"

Reading Nenshad Bardoliwalla’s : Is Enterprise 2.0 a Savior or a Charlatan? (Recommended for U2) « Fredzimny's Blog - http://fredzimny.wordpress.com/2009...
"I have followed the evolution of the topic since Andrew McAfee coined the phrase “Enterprise 2.0” in the spring 2006 Sloan Management Review article to describe the use of Web 2.0 tools and approaches by businesses. I was also really excited to attend that Enterprise 2.0 2009 conference in San Francisco for the first time. In this post, I want to describe what I saw at the conference, what I believe to be the missing components of the full Enterprise 2.0 picture, and also discuss how becoming "Driven to Perform" by understanding Strategy-Driven Execution is the best way to justify the value of Enterprise 2.0 in your organization."

Stanislav Ginzburg was born and raised in Orenburg, Russia. He immigrated to the US at the age of 15 where he later received his BFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design. His work has been included in several group shows at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Deitch Projects, NY Studio Gallery, and other venues. His latest project, Tales from Vienna Woods, was on view at Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art gallery in NYC last summer. This work represents a dark and ominous exploration of a mythical forest which serves as a playground for artist’s imagination and solemn narrative vignettes. Stanislav currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
