Social Networking For Fun and Profit
People in large organizations often discuss the uses of emerging social technologies for serious things like "group collaboration" and "efficient workflow." Yet, even though activities like this are dependent on social networking, those two words are often considered off limits because of their "fun" connotation. This talk is about how social networking - for work and for fun - has direct and indirect benefits within groups within an enterprise, between silos of an enterprise, and between an enterprise and outside stakeholders.
In particular, the speaker will focus on his experience with working inside the largest organizations in the world: The U.S. Federal Government and its Department of Defense.
Dr. Mark Drapeau is a biological scientist, government and private-sector consultant, and prolific writer on science, technology, innovation, government, and society. He is currently an adjunct faculty member in the School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and until recently he held the position of Associate Research Fellow at the Center for Technology and National Security Policy at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., where he is still engaged part-time in a number of activities. Mark is currently a regular writer for Washington Life, Federal Computer Week, and numerous high-profile blogs. He is the co-chair of the O'Reilly Media / TechWeb-produced Gov 2.0 Expo. Mark has a B.S. and Ph.D. in biology and has held postdoctoral fellowships from the NIH and AAAS. His research has considered many topics, from the origin of insect behavioral instincts to the honeybee genome to government operations during pandemic flu to the uses of biological metaphors in national security.
