"Even socially enabled enterprise applications have, for the most part, mimicked the general form of the “corporate Facebook” with social portals jammed with activity streams, micro-messaging, file sharing and lots of other social tools. While all of these tools are useful, alignment with work activities is not always evident."

  • Recent ESG research found a whole group of new applications that are built from the ground up to be social applications. All assume the same need — for a team of people to collaborate to get a unit of work done
  • Products from Do.com (part of Salesforce.com), Producteev, Asana and Mindjet take a simple unit of work — the task — and place it at the center of a group of people

"I’ve been reflecting on the new learning model I proposed earlier, and want to share some elaborations with you. In this case, I want to elaborate on the notion of activities, and some associated properties.

Activities provided or chosenFirst, I think it’s important to recognize that gradually, learners will take more and more ownership of choosing activities. If you’re an adult past college, you choose (with, perhaps, some guidance and support) what professional development you do: you choose books to read, conferences to attend, even perhaps choosing mentors whether agreed upon or stealth (people you follow via their blogs or tweets). We shouldn’t assume learners will have that ability, and our curricula should make explicit what good activity criteria are, and helps learners develop those skills, gradually handing off the responsibility for choosing them, with gradually released scaffolding."

  • Another important property of these activities is that they embed, possibly at multiple levels. So
  • Finally, activities can be individual or social.  They can be assigned to one person, or to teams or workgroups to accomplish

"The really hard part of managing in larger organizations is in managing the layers and competing forces. Often we forget to reinforce acceptable behaviours, we leave role structures lose and incomplete and we set deliverables in often ‘woolly’ ways. This just promotes uncertainly and it is not an adaptive organization in leaving this so open. These unnatural built-in tensions create this shearing effect. They grind against each other, like tectonic plates that force further disruption and upheaval."

organizations tensions activities outcomes innovation management ecosystems improvement

  • Part of the innovation activities has been assigned to some other cost centre, or the capacity was already established and we often don’t break these down and assign these clearly enough to the different activities, we should, but into outcome orientation ones. Were the activities contributing to efficiency or innovation? We judge these through effectiveness of the outcome.
  • We need to balance existing performance engines for repeatable everyday tasks with innovation delivery engines for new activities to make our organizations function more effectively

"It has been said many times, that for social business to succeed to create the evolution towards Enterprise 2.0, we need to put this social activity directly into the flow of how people work. In that light, we spent quite some time at the recent Enterprise 2.0 Summit in Paris, discussing how to integrate social business activity into enterprise processes, and in particular from the view of process modeling."

  • suggested the model in Figure 1 that illustrates social activity as something that occurs outside the process, where each process step may have an associated space for social interaction activity. My interpretation is that in this model, the social activity occurs outside the process step as an ancillary activity that the process step itself is unchanged but there is a documented link to the activity elsewhere.

"The problem with this is that there will never be an ROI from an emergent collaboration technology precisely because technology is just that…technology. We are talking about tools that enable us to collaborate and do “things.” "

  • The ROI or the value comes from the activity and from the actual collaboration, not from the technologies themselves.
  •  We use our emergent collaboration platform, find the best people to connect with, build the product, and finally develop a working revenue model.  Now that the product has been developed and is generating revenue how to we attribute a certain portion of that revenue to our ability to find the right people to work with on that project?

"For 2010, three themes will impact the sector. These aren’t the only ones, but I expect to see plenty of news, features and industry mental energy covering these."

  • The coming release of SharePoint 2010 is forcing many vendors to evaluate their positions in the market. Going head-to-head with the same or fewer features is going to be tough. What differentiates your offering?
  • Putting these tools in-the-flow will be a powerful basis for expanding Enterprise 2.0’s reach. A challenge for standalone general tools of today is that they require employees to toggle between different apps. This can make it tough to get traction.

The home page is dominated by the activity stream, which includes links to tasks, blog posts, documents and other systems that are relevant to this person’s work. It’s not just the usual social network stuff; it also includes information from enterprise systems such as ECM and BPM systems. There would be rules to set priorities on what’s in any given user’s activity stream.

Je viens de relire un passage du bouquin de Hamel “La révolution en tête” qui m’avait beaucoup marqué. Celui où il donne les 5 valeurs des Activistes de l’innovation, “les gens les plus cools de la planète” :
