Entreprise briefing
Welcome to Entreprise Briefing
July/August 2007
The automotive industry’s long product development cycle has meant that few cars have been at the forefront of technological developments. However, the advent of standardized platforms from the IT world should help cars join the information revolution and avoid expensive technological mistakes. This month’s Industry Watch looks at how large car manufacturers including Ford are adopting third-party solutions that will help drivers stay in touch on the move. Also in this summer’s issue, we take a look at why innovation networks are transforming traditional research and development departments, what telemedicine is doing to improve care and save money and how a new generation of collaboration tools using presence can revolutionize teamwork.
We hope you enjoy this month’s edition of Enterprise Briefing.

Enterprises worldwide need to innovate to remain competitive. However generating a good idea that can be executed rapidly requires a good process and an organization's ability to learn. This learning process must take place internally, through a culture of knowledge sharing, and externally, from the ecosystem of value-add partners. Whether incremental or disruptive, innovation always benefits from experimentation that involves customers and partners.
