From September 2012 onward, IBM and our partners organize several workshops / masterclasses to help organizations to “get outside the inbox”.

Purpose of the workshops is to have an open discussion on collaboration between colleagues, the e-mail overflow struggle and ways other companies have improved this. Some amazing and inspiring thoughts, brought in by Luis, will be used to streamline the discussion.

The workshops and masterclasses are hosted by IBM and a few of our specialized Business Partners.
If you are interested to learn how you could improve your collaboration and reduce email overload, please register now.

The dates on the registration form are ‘preliminary’, meaning that we try to schedule small groups of max 5-10 people at the time , preferably from similar background or company sizes and location preferences. IBM or 1 selected partner will contact you personally to schedule a meeting that fits your agenda. Most workshops are in the afternoon and take about 3 hrs of your time and have the intention to let you leave the room with new ideas to let your organization become more efficient and save more time. Location is either at IBM in Brussels or Amsterdam or at one of our preferred Business Partners or onsite at one of our reference customers.

PS: the LANGUAGE of the sessions will depend on the audience. We will discuss your preference of either Dutch (Nederlands), French (Francais) or English.

You have probably heard the word ‘social’ more than any other modern
buzzword lately. Especially when the subject is about communication,
either with friends, family or with your customers, partners or suppliers:
today´s organizations have massively embraced the term ‘social’. That is why I would like to introduce you to the concept of Social Business.

Organizations that effectively deploy social tools for use within their business, optimize the effectiveness of their most valuable asset: their people. Studies have shown that social businesses not only improve their collaboration between colleagues, they also become more transparent and flexible and - in the end - more effective and profitable.

I encourage you to read the IBM article below. It will not only introduce you to the concept of Social Business, but it also provides you with a number of links to events, reference cases, and background documentation.
