Weekend Reading: Purpose Makes a Social BusinessTick

watch_cogs_shutterstock_67478407.jpgThis week our contributors looked at both the big picture and the nitty gritty of the social enterprise to see what makes it tick. The psychologist's lens was held up to the Social Business and it withstood the scrutiny. Intranets were also put under the lens, but the diagnosis isn't so clear.  

We heard how records management still isn't getting the support it needs and how the best security plans can fail when vulnerabilities aren't understood.

My Other DAM is a Self-Service Intranet Portal 

Edward Smith (@damgeek): Running a digital asset management system without a self-service DAM intranet portal is like buying gas in Oregon — the “drivers” (end users) must rely on an “attendant” (a person in charge of managing digital assets) just to get to work.
