The IBM Center for the Business of Government this week is hosting on its Web site a Collaboration Jam, which brings together business leaders, technologists and visionaries to discuss the future of work. Participants can weigh in on seven forward-looking discussion topics, including collaborative business process management, the future of teamwork, healthcare, the generational divide, and work in the year 2020. While participation in the online event is restricted, I thought I'd share some of the top buzzwords that IBM has compiled using a text-mining tool:
- Business processes
- Collaboration tools
- Digital natives
- Digital divide
- Doctor
- EHR data
- Gen Y
- Healthcare services
- Patients
- Social media
- Students
- Supply chains
- Talent
- Team members
- Trust
- Virtual world
- Work home
