I absolutely love what John Chambers and his team at Cisco are doing with regard to involving the whole of Cisco in its communications and collaboration strategy. And what I really like is that they’re a “big” company doing things that are often perceived as possible only for SMBs. Cisco has tossed that bias out the window and is reaping the massive rewards of a highly collaborative environment. They’re even early adopters of Twitter and blogging in-house! AND, if you haven’t seen Cisco’s Digital Cribs. . .then, wow. .you should check it out.
This talk might seem long at the outset, but he spends a considerable amount of time addressing questions (this was a talk at MIT. . .the beauty of any talk like this. . .so, enjoy. John hits on our economy (before it hit the fan), education, collaboration and communications at Cisco. He’s an engaging speaker, and it’s no wonder he, along with the team at Cisco has taken the company from 70 million to 40 billion in just over a decade. Not bad…perhaps he’s worth a listen?!
