VIDEO: John Chambers on Collaboration, Innovation and Teamwork


Our CEO, John Chambers, wrote about collaboration for the first entry on this new blogCisco Vice President Alan Cohen followed up with an interesting take on Unified Communications and where Malcolm Gladwell and Woody Allen fit into the picture.

Today, our CEO offers a video blog on his high-level thoughts on collaboration and why it is so important to the economy.  He answers the following questions:
1.  Why is collaboration so important in a global economy?
2.  What is the most important component of a company’s collaboration strategy?
3.  How is collaboration changing global management?  And why now?
4.  What is Cisco’s role in collaboration?

Cisco had meetingplace based on Java,

then got meetingplace work with adobe connect as the Java frontend did not work,

only problem is that the Linux based version of MeetingPlace has only 1/2 features of the Windows based version.

Now we have WebEx… as customer keep getting pushed along and no clear road map.
