The term Seeking Omega was coined by Jas Dhillon to describe the quest for an investment return on a business or social objective. I wrote an article about it on Seeking Alpha to give Carol Bartz some advice on how Yahoo could regain their former glory. Alas, no response from Carol but it gave me some motivation to continue writing about the concept using this blog as a vehicle. I probably won’t always stay on topic, but my goal is to search for Seeking Omega solutions and write about them here. Today, I am focusing on three areas (with liberal allowances for additional off topic areas) Enterprise 2.0, Collaborative Networks, and Open Source Solutions. Personally, I think that these areas are not the beginning of the journey but a search for an end result (hence the term seek omega). It is the end of a process that needs to be pieced together and worked backward from an ideal set of Enterprise goals. There is much to do before we see high value return, and my plan is to document the journey. I do work for an open source company MindTouch, but my views here only represent my own and not of those of my employer.
