"Le 16 Mai je suis intervenu à la conférence Webcom à Montréal pour aborder l'évolution du poste de travail en entreprise, tirée par les outils collaboratifs et le développement de l'entreprise 2.0. Un débat intéressant dont je reprends ici en deux parties, les principales idées de ruptures qui ont été discutées."

  • Pour faire simple, le soufflé du réseau social interne retombera vite s'il ne permet que de parler de la pêche à la mouche et n'améliore pas l'efficacité de chacun et celle des processus.
  • Et c'est tout l'enjeu de l'entreprise 2.0 de développer et mobiliser le capital social, humain et informationnel de l'entreprise.

"It is time to rethink. Rather than thinking of organization as an imposed structure, plan or design, organization arises from the interactions of interdependent individuals who need to come together."

  • The accumulating failures at organizational agility can be traced to a fundamental but mistaken assumption that organizations are structures guiding, and as a consequence, limiting interaction
  • It is not about hierarchies vs. networks, but about a much deeper change. Organizations are creative, responsive processes and emergent patterns in time. All creative, responsive processes have the capacity to constantly self-organize and re-organize all the time

"En général, quand je parle dans mon entourage professionnel de méthodes agiles et de dépasser la notion de satisfaction du client pour l'enchanter ("delight"), cela ne déclenche pas immédiatement un enthousiasme délirant. Pourtant, si l'on est actif dans un métier où le marché est très concurrentiel et l'innovation permanente essentielle pour la survie, alors il est intéressant de se pencher sur ces nouvelles manières de voir le métier du management, et en particulier le Management radical de Stephen Denning, que j'aimerais présenter en quelques lignes ici, en complément d'un billet de François Beauregard."

    • Le nouveau but de l'organisation est de générer une expérience (enthousiasmer le client) - plutôt que de produire des biens ou faire de l'argent pour les actionnaires
    • Le nouveau but du management est de faciliter et soutenir l'auto-organisation des équipes - plutôt que de contrôler
    • La coordination se fait de manière dynamique, par des itérations gérées par le client - plutôt que de la bureaucratie hiérarchique
    • La communication est interactive: des conversations entre adultes - plutôt que commander et contrôler.

"I actually believe there are qualities or behaviors that are distinctly different from business-as-usual and that can help businesses extract value from social media behaviors and technology. To me, they are what define a social business (and, yes, I do mean a business aligned with social media-based behaviors not necessarily a more socially responsible company. This latter definition is important just not my particular focus for now.)

We are a social business. That means we practice what we preach to our clients. There are 5 key behaviors of a social business that we focus on. I would love to hear what others think: "

" Over the last year I've been speaking with many corporate business and HR leaders and have heard a common theme: we need our organizations to be more agile. We need to redesign the organization so we can learn faster, communicate better, and respond more rapidly to change. This quest for the agile organization has changed the nature of what we call a job. "

  • Something very profound is happening. Jobs are getting more specialized, people work in teams and cross functional boundaries, and success is being redefined by expertise, not span of control. 

     

     And people without specialized skills are finding it harder to find work. Seth Godin calls it “the end of the average worker.”

  • Since the 1950s, technologists have adopted new approaches that allow them to better address complexity and ongoing change. One, called agile development, is a different way of doing work. The other, called service orientation, is more focused on how bits of work are connected to other bits. Both of these approaches emphasize continuous learning, adaptation, and distributed control, rather than planning, prediction and central control. They are specifically designed for managing work in fast-changing, complex, uncertain environments.

" To transform organizations so that they are fit for human beings--more inspiring and engaging and yet just as disciplined and even more productive--we need to understand why promising ideas for improving management developed in the 20th Century--such as teams, empowerment, delayering or innovation--failed to become a permanent part of the standard management repertoire.

"I have been blogging quite substantially about Lean Management lately and I have noticed a common purpose with Agile methodologies (which get me blogging 4 years ago) and Enterprise 2.0 (which has kept my blogging busy for the last 2 years) : they all address complexity and permanent change, the key characteristics of our business world. This is one of the key ideas of the great book by Yves Caseau Processus & Entrerprise 2.0 [FR]."

"In today’s increasingly dynamic business environment, organizations must continuously adapt to survive. Ironically, change management has become a major bottleneck. Inefficient offline reviews are disconnected from daily operations and unresponsive to evolving requirements. Organizations’ need a practical mechanism for managing controlled variance and change in-flight to break the logjam."

  • The more flexible an organization’s systems infrastructure, the better it can support desired or necessary change
  • The last forty years of mainstream business computing brought tremendous efficiencies through standardization, but this was predicated on relatively static models of processes, data, and capabilities.

"The concept of waste has lately been transferred from manufacturing to other practices such as product development. According to lean principles, when a development project is started, the goal is to complete it as rapidly as possible. In a sense, ongoing development projects are just like inventory sitting around in a factory. Design and prototypes are only valuable when (paying) customers are involved."

  • People are used to lean thinking when it comes to technology and processes but it is still very rare to look at taking waste out of communication. Many managers still trivialize the power of conversation. They think that social interaction issues are soft compared to the hard issues of technology and process.
  • We still don’t understand that work is communication: we live and work in a network of conversations. Being lean means understanding that conversations are never neutral. They always affect the quality and pace of the outcome. Communication either accelerates or slows down. Communication either creates value or creates waste. Communication can create energy and inspiration or take energy away and reduce inspiration.

"When Jim Highsmith graciously invited me to give the opening keynote at the inaugural Agile Executive Forum in Salt Lake City this week, I had to really sit down and think about what I’ve been working on the last few years, namely social business, as compared the conference theme, agility and business."

"This has led to a small but growing movement to make the workplace take on this issue, with the premise that traditional, pre-digital work processes tended to have more people directly in the loop, reviewing, editing, overseeing, and so on. Now too often, work takes place in digital silos that greatly reduce the human involvement, fails to capture much of the knowledge at all (something I call knowledge evaporation), and leaves little behind to learn from, build upon, or otherwise reuse. This is because older digital tools aren't nearly as focused on discovery, collaboration, or network effects."

  • Too much management thinking in recent times has been focused on influencing behaviour by addressing extrinsic motivation - usually a variant of the basic carrot and stick idea - and not enough on tapping into peoples' intrinsic motivation to do the right thing and to make sense of the world around them.
  • Social business systems are well placed to strike a balance between human and corporate needs, getting more out of people with lower management overheads, and by increasing the connectivity between people in the workplace, they can make better use of a company's existing human potential.

  • The ultimate goal is to create social capital, a workforce that is interconnected to make collaboration thrive through relationships of trust. This really brings added value to the company in form of constant learning (the learning organization), change agility, speed, efficiency and scale. In this context new organization forms are emerging like communities of practice or agile forms of development, an environment that fosters innovation.
  • HR is required as an enabler of E20, as change agent and organization designer. HR should be the engine behind company culture (Towers Perrin 2008).

"Peter Drucker est le premier à définir le Knowledge Worker en 1929. L’excellent David Weinberger (un des terroristes du Cluetrain Manifesto) peut bien dire qu’il s’agit là d’une définition pompeuse, elle n’en reste pas moins prodigieusement visionnaire. Toute sa théorie sur les organisations du XXème siècle est articulée autour de ce travailleur de la connaissance."
