"While collaboration platforms are increasingly attractive to enterprises, most people still don’t know how to use them at work.

After a brief introduction, individuals are quick to understand the concepts: the power of networks, the potential for shaping their reputation, the extraordinary commercial possibilities.

But they struggle with what they should actually do."

"The hierarchical organization is built on a concept of mass replication. Taylorite in its origins, the idea is to create replicable jobs.

The actual qualities of the incumbent are far less important than that they simply do what the position demands. These, in turn, are collected under managers.

The organization represents the elements of the design: the sub-assemblies of a machine.

Grafted onto this base are the knowledge worker functions. "

"It is important to clarify the type of collaboration you are talking about. Although the different types are not black and white, there are fundamental differences. Why is it important to clarify?

It influences the coherence of your whole digital workplace, in particular your entry point strategy.
It will reduce conflict among digital teams and bring understanding of how different pieces fit together to serve the people.
To some extent, it impacts the roles and scopes of members of the digital teams. It partially answers the question of “who is in charge of what”."

"The words "risk management" usually evokes less subjective, more data-driven pursuits. But data and objectivity can only get you so far. Philosopher Karl Popper famously proposed that to be scientific, a theory had to be falsifiable: that is, it had to make predictions that could be tested and possibly shown to be wrong. Popper spent a lot of time thinking about this definition of science and the burgeoning science of probablility, which he called propensity."

" It was until recently that I started focusing around the business value of Enterprise Social that it hit me. Most people talk in jargon and have very little insight into what the underlying business problems are that they are trying to solve. Don’t get me wrong, they know their business problems, but in most cases haven’t connected the dots between problem and solution. Why? Because it takes a lot of analysis and thought to develop that understanding and most of us lack the time to do it."

"During the course of our lives, learning becomes detached from creating experiences and getting feedback. And so it turns from fun to a dreadful exercise with often devastating results: the knowledge taught is forgotten pretty quickly, with the whole education effort becoming a waste of everyone's time. In the corporate world this can be costly, and if you don't know how to use the tools properly or effectively, work becomes more inefficient, expensive and possibly even dangerous.


Which leads me to the following questions:

How can we make training more fun, add rich experience and gain feedback?
How can we enable trainers to add these elements to their materials?
Why is training separate from work rather than embedded into it?"

"En cette rentrée, une interrogation de fond émerge des yoyos économiques et politiques européens et des révolutions arabes aussi improbables que bien réelles. Cette interrogation peut se formuler de la manière suivante : la problématique de l’accès au savoir est totalement bouleversée. 95% de l’information est disponible en accès libre. Elle est disponible de partout et en temps réel. Les outils et la technologie la rendent parfaitement mobile. La vitesse d’échange ne laisse plus forcément le temps du recul et de l’assimilation. La difficulté n’est plus l’obtention de l’information, mais le discernement de l’information utile, voire de l’information vraie."

"The short answer is that no one's got enterprise collaboration all figured out yet, owing to the dizzying array of platforms (SharePoint, Google Sites, Drupal, Yammer, LotusLive, Salesforce.com Chatter, Jive, Cisco Quad), various Web and video conferencing systems, and of course the legacy email, IM, and other platforms. Add to that the varying personal, cultural, and some even say generational preferences. And I think we still do too much thrusting and not enough teasing out."

"The list of the world’s CEOs regularly includes celebrities, billionaires, big egos, risk takers, and failures. What it does not include are social media experts; but that’s about to change. When IBM (NYSE: IBM) conducted its study of 1709 CEOs around the world, they found only 16% of them participating in social media. But their analysis shows that the percentage will likely grow to 57% within 5 years. "

"SAP hasn't necessarily set up its StreamWork product as a competitor to Jive's social collaboration software. SAP is actually a customer of Jive, albeit for the software that powers the SAP community website rather than for internal collaboration. However, in terms of getting work done inside an organization, SAP says it is playing a whole different game."

"Organizations that allow employees to use their personal devices for work purposes reap the benefits of a more engaged workforce, particularly among the younger generation. But many of those same organizations are trying to simplify and consolidate the systems they’re running in order to save money on infrastructure and software that helps manage mobile devices, and supporting BYOD creates additional, often unseen costs."

"Schwartz argues that it's up to individuals and managers to avoid the multitasking trap. But I look at it a different way: ultimately, it's up to institutions to make sure employees are focused. Businesses and government agencies that are serious about improving productivity need to tackle this as an organizational initiative."

La validité du concept, propagé par des cabinets de consultants qui estiment qu'il existerait un comportement typique de cette génération au travail, est discutée."
