Communication in a digital investment bank
Dan Gillmor writes on the use of social software in an investment bank.
Communicating information and promoting collaboration efficiently is one of the fundamental requirements of running a successful investment bank. Connecting your most valuable assets - your people - into the most powerful and intelligent information-processing unit possible is the key to being successful. Creating a brain out of a collection of neurons. The adoption of the new breed of social software tools makes possible a quantum shift in the ability to create a truly emergent spontaneous intellegence.
If you are interested in exploring the power emergence, you could do worse than reading one of my favorite books Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities and Software by Steven Johnson.
