"Which section did I like the most? This is very difficult if not impossible to tell. I liked the chapters on tools by Mathias Vermeulen a lot. They are covering all important topics and they are a very good starting point if you are heading for Social Tools. Isabel managed to attract my attention for topics like Knowledge Sharing and Working out loud. And thanks a lot for sharing your learning’s on how to navigate in a world of too much information. And finally the use cases from Céline Schillinger or Geert Nijs that show that you don’t need to run huge transformation programs to move ahead but that the journey can start with very small steps and more important it starts with yourself."
- Hans-Juergen Sturm – Amadeus IT Group in Business Information Management
"Social Technologies in Business offers something for everyone: answers to objections, ideas for getting started, a review of tools, methods for implementation, case studies with “stealable” concepts. I especially appreciate the realistic view: there’s honest discussion about barriers and failure factors, warnings about things not to do, and the reality of endeavoring to engage in enterprise-wide anything. This is an excellent resource for those hoping to influence and maybe even help transform their organizations."
- Jane Bozarth - Elearning Coordinator and author
