Social Media and PLM: Not Much Love?

Currently I'm in a big project to improve the way we organize product development and manage product and project information. In short, this can be called 'Product Lifecyle Management' (PLM).

I haven't been following too many experts in this area. So, I've been looking around and started following some of them. The interesting thing is though: not many people in this area are twittering and blogging... I've run into this before: although blogging and twittering can be used by all disciplines, in some areas it just seems to fit better.

But anyway, I did run into a person who I find has very interesting thoughts about PLM. It's Oleg Shilovitsky. His blog is 'Daily PLM Think Tank Blog' and he tweets as @olegshilovitsky. Although I can hardly keep up with his posts ;-) I like the way he approaches this area. He's not your regular 'put-everything-in-SAP' guy. He also thinks about relating traditional PLM systems with social media, which is very interesting and necessary. As you know I've been posting about this topic as well.

Us Now about Government 2.0 and much more

Just finished watching the movie/documentary 'Us Now'. Really enjoyed it and would like to encourage you to take time to watch it too (1 hour).

I thought 'Us Now' would 'only' be about government 2.0, which is interesting enough, but it's actually about the relevance of the web 2.0 movement for 'everything'. What does it mean for life in general, for organizations, and also for government?

While watching I tweeted the remarks I found most interesting and wanted to remember.

Hope you enjoy it too!

Welcome Joas!

Well, I should also blog about my newborn son. I tweeted about the big news before, blogging would come later. Does this show blogging is becoming secondary to microblogging...? ;-)

On June 2 we were blessed with a second son. His name is Johannes Arie Driessen. Joas is a healthy little boy. He weighed 3780 grams at birth. All is now well with my wife Mirjam too. Mirjam and Joas came home last Thursday.IMG_8852

I inserted a picture of Nathan (my first son) holding Joas with grandpa Driessen. Enjoy!
