It's painful to see companies who talk about collaboration, yet reinforce disconnected silos, as compared to companies that foster a culture of AI-assisted collaboration. What are you seeing?

Collaboration is key to success in the new AI and agentic era, but there are building blocks that make collaboration IRL and online work. The quote is from my new IDC research, “Creativity, Play, AI, and the Multiplayer Workspace”. my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?c...

"Attention is a visual, and collaboration is becoming more visual in a short attention span world," from my research: Market Analysis Perspective: Worldwide Collaboration Applications, 2024. I still stand by it, and wait until you see what comes next.

Great to connect with so many IDC colleagues at our new Boston office yesterday...

Do you want one, want to try one, or no way?

Zoom is now up to version, well ..

Fostering a culture where people can freely collaborate, keep conversations in the same application stream, and understand that some ideas need assembly is perhaps the most challenging element of enterprise #collaboration . Or any collaboration. 🪄

What has me interested in the Meta announcement are the implications of a pair of glasses with real AR in-lens display and a "Neural Band" to read muscle signals to type and interact with or without voice. The glasses are the style; the future is the software. www.facebook.com/share/v/16yc...

"My name is Eric's AI avatar. I am not simply a video recording, but an AI-generated avatar made using AI companion for Zoom clips." #Zoomtopia CEO Eric Yuan demonstrates the new Zoom avatar feature in the event, who is now presenting. And yes, the real Eric started the event.

I do love that #Zoomtopia, the Zoom event today is using their own Zoom Events platform. zoomtopia.us

A friend joined us while having ice cream tonight.

Check out the IDC study that tracks the trajectory to the new workspace. Spoiler alert: It has AI, is collaborative and people still make it grow. In return, you will be measuring from creativity to outcomes. my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?c...

You had your PSL. Now PSC, Pumpkin Spice Collaboration. Both blend good stuff, but leave out one part, or in the case of collaboration, one team or integration, and it becomes "meh".
