Igloo Senior Vice President, Andrew Dixon recently spoke with Christine Crandell where she explores how the social enterprise is a new paradigm for how societies interact, relate, create and exchange value.
For the social enterprise to work, most of what we think of as business needs to be turned on its head.
Social enterprise is a new paradigm for how societies interact, relate, create and exchange value. That's right; I used the all but banned "P" word of the late 1990s. Paradigm is a "framework of basic assumptions, ways of thinking, and methods" held by its practitioners. Social has triggered a paradigm shift because it is changing our worldview of how we interact, work, build trust,…
Igloo's SVP, Andrew Dixon, recently shares one of the strategic priorities CIO's should consider for 2013-2014.
Modern IT departments have an amazing opportunity. The speed at which technology currently evolves combined with the rising importance of technology in the business puts IT departments in a prime position to impact their companies more than ever before.
Unfortunately, that's not happening in most companies.
In fact, the research firm, Gartner, estimates that, "Enterprises realize on average only 43 percent of technology's business potential."
The big question: How can IT departments drive…
Discovering the two types of self-serve models.
"Crack the whip" is a term people jokingly say to me because of my Type A personality. While some would get offended by this comment, what is wrong with knowing how I want something to be done? I prefer doing things my way, with my processes and my vision. In a sense, you could say I am controlling. But, for me, I like to feel I am in command of a situation, even if it's simply running errands on the weekend.
Aside from my personal tendencies, self-service is a driving force that's…
Eric Barton recently featured Igloo Software in his recent article around effective collaboration.
Kim Flottum has two sides to his life, one where utter precision and extreme collaboration rule, and another where people just can't get along.
In one, he's an amateur beekeeper, with 10 hives in his Ohio garden. Bees speak to each other using pheromones, or chemicals that communicate when the hive is hungry or needs water or needs to produce more workers. Even individual hives work together, agreeing on what land to cover , never competing.
In the other, far less agreeable side of Flottum's…

Manya Chylinski recently sat down with Kenneth Fonzi, Associate Director of Information Systems and Services at Children's Hospital Foundation to learn why they turned down SharePoint & why they chose Igloo Software to power their corporate intranet.
When it comes to creating and sharing content, you know the power of an intranet and the benefits it brings to an organization.

Exploring how email is not dead, it is just being used in a different way.
I like to compare email to playing a game of darts. Numerous darts are targeted at a circular board with the intention of getting bulls eye. The more darts that are on a board, the more challenging it becomes to target bulls eye. In this case, as more and more emails attack my inbox, the more difficult it is to get my attention and response.
An email claiming I won 4 million dollars, and an email claiming I need to wire money to South Africa is in the same email inbox as an email from…

Just because healthcare is deploying social business tools at an incredible rate - up to 72 percent of companies have launched social or mobile tools, according to a report from McKinsey - doesn't mean they're working.
The two most common errors companies make in this area are focusing on the technology before nailing down a complete strategy, and failing to measure results, explains Andrew Dixon, senior vice president of marketing and operations for Igloo Software.
