Adding Social Context To Enterprise Architecture

Note: Fixed broken link 4/6/2011

Social networking is redefining the workforce and creating a new frontier for enterprise architects. Increased mobility, generational shifts, new tools, and the changing digital lifestyle of workers bring an opportunity to embrace borderless relationships and foster collaboration in an open environment.

I recently recorded a three-part video series that summarizes some of my thinking in this area. To view the series, visit Social Networking in the Enterprise.
