Office 2.0
By Brick | August 12, 2008
One of the companies I have been casually following in the Business Process Management space is Intalio, mostly because the business is based on an open source model which I find fascinating. The CEO of Intalio is one Ismael Chang Ghalimi. I have never met Mr. Ghalimi, but I get some broadcast email from him from time to time. What intrigues me in his email is his signature which has url’s to three sites:
- The Intalio corporate website.
- A Google Calendar showing free and busy times - a rather simple, yet neat idea.
- His blog.
His blog, IT|Redux is worth a read. Two articles that stood out for me:
- Monolab|Incubator: This article discusses shared office space, and the area of interest here for me is the vision of how "Office 2.0" would be implemented in such a set up, and the choices of workspaces and tools. I think there is actually a lot of good information here for freelancers, mobile workers and the 4-hour workweek crowd.
- Extreme Productivity Seminar: Mr. Ghalimi has developed an "extreme productivity system" around Dave Allen’s Getting Things Done. He has apparently packaged this system into the Extreme Productivity Seminar, and his system seems to integrate Salesforce.com into GTD. He says:
As of today, I use it to manage over 200 independent projects, with more than 500 tasks related to them. In other words, it scales pretty well.
That sounds pretty impressive! Check it out.

Thanks for the pointer. Following up on this, I was surprised to discover that Salesforces as a free Personal Edition, which I am trying out right now.
