I wanted to highlight a couple of pertinent posts relating to collective intelligence and the power of social bookmarking.

First up is Tapping into the Hidden Talent in your Office from What a Concept! They discuss many of the changes that organizations will experience as a result of a more connected workforce. The last paragraph in particular stands out:

The shift from a rigid industrial model to a collaborative digital organization reduces the loss of both information and talent. When people feel involved and valued, they experience a since of pride and ownership and are therefore motivated and inspired to share their untapped talents, innovations, knowledge and skills. Such an organization will reap the competitive advantage for talent as well as market-share within their industry.

Coming at things from a completely different angle is Oscar Berg’s round up of Insights About Enterprise Folksonomies, pointing us to some of the thoughts on the topics that he personally finds interesting. I had come across some of these before, but there are also some real gems that have now been added to my feeds. Thanks Oscar.
