E Quint Consulting is working with Near-Time to deliver a webinar series. The first one, scheduled for November 6 at 11:00a.m EST, is titled The Connected Enterprise: Using Social Connectivity to Drive Productivity. The webinar will consist of a panel discussion between some of the best practitioners in the field of Enterprise 2.0. Scheduled to participate are:

• Lee Bryant, Co-Founder, Headshift
• Michael Stallard, Founder, E Pluribus Partners
• Mark Scrimshire, Founder, Ekive

The webinar will be co-hosted by:

• Lee Buck, Co-Founder & CTO, Near-Time
• Lee White, Founder, E Quint Consulting

The focus of the conversation will be around the factors that contribute to a successful Enterprise 2.0 implementation, and practical advice for carrying out such a project. Some of the questions the panel will address include:

• How important are the social and behavioral aspect of creating a successful “connected enterprise” initiative, as opposed to the strictly technical aspects?
• How does use of social tools in the enterprise lead to improvements in employee engagement and employee retention?
• How does opening up information access reduce organizational risk?

Logistics for this webinar are underway and I will be posting them here shortly. So spread the word and tell people you know, that are looking for real, pragmatic information on improving organizational productivity, about this event.

See you there.
