Welcome to the Minter Dialogue Radio Show number #27. I attended the Netexplo Forum 2012 on March 15-16, held at the marvelous UNESCO headquarters, in Paris. Netexplo is an observatory of new tech trends around the world, with which I have been associated for the last couple of years. There were ten award winners highlighted at the event, each coming from the four corners of the world and each with a very interesting angle. In the fifth and last of this series, I caught up with Brian Platz, COO and co founder of Silkroad Point. Silkroad Point is cloud-based system providing social talent management software and solutions for HR… Among its many facets, it will help HR calculate an employee's level of influence in social media circles… A most fascinating concept, based on a sound principle: that, especially in knowledge work, employees work better when they are better appreciated and understood!
