„We go and go
– for how long now?
It’s difficult to say.
Nothing changes with our steps;
it’s the same there and here;
before as now and after;
in the immeasurable monotony
of space, time drowns.
Motion from one point to another
isn’t motion at all anymore
if sameness rules,
and where motion is not motion,
time doesn’t exist.”
Thomas Mann
More and more companies find the application of social services such as Nasza-Klasa, GoldenLine or LinkedIn useful in business context. Some of them go even farther and decide to implement such solutions internally.
The explanation of what are the benefits of this for the internal communication and HR will be given during FACE 2008 by Stephan Herrlich (Germany) in his lecture: "Using social network and Web2.0 technology in corporate communications and HR.” The lecture will also include cases of practical use.
