Christian S. Lausten (Seismonaut) was interviewed by ErhvervsBladet on Enterprise 2.0 tools.

Christian talks on reinforcing collaboration, creativity and connectedness in the article "Tre gode gratis programmer til kontoret" (in Danish) and wraps is up at the Seismonaut blog which is always a good read.

OurHoist is mentioned in relation to team collaboration; the tool enables teams to work together across organisational and geographical boundaries.

Christian Schwarz Lausten says (translation from Danish):

We use OurHoist at Seismonaut when we work together with others. While having wikis, blogs and file-sharing, the user profiles add an extra dimension. That way socializing becomes part of the work - which is of great value when collaborating online.

Meetings are important. And besides the fact that once in a while everybody's fed up with them, well-prepared meetings provide important results and momentum. The challenge is to encourage well-preparedness and only to meet face-to-face when the outcome gains from it and the time and travel is worth it. Some organizations and networks are baseless or spread around the globe, making face-to-face meetings costly. An easy accessible place to share information and carry out conversations is a good base. Either it's a way to collaborate without having to meet physically or it is a way to exchange material or agendas and making sure everyone's on the same page cutting down on meeting time.

Not all face-to-face meetings have been properly prepared
