"Frequent airplane passengers are likely to have read the following message prior to watching an in-flight movie: “the following film has been modified from its original version. it has been formatted to fit this screen.” for purposes of this airborne analogy, let’s fasten our seatbelts, power off any electronic devices, and firmly adjust our trays to the upright position. Better yet, let’s substitute the word film for new employee and the word screen for organization so it reads as: “the following new employee has been modified from its original version. it has been formatted to fit this organization.”"

  • New employees enter into an organization with two things in mind. First, they want to perform well in the eyes
    of those who have made the hire in the first place.
  • Second, the new employee yearns to do well for himself. He also has made a decision, in this case accepting the job offer. It’s important for this new employee to do well in his own eyes. No one wants a sketchy past of poor career decision

"Here's a very serious question: Are the tools your company's employees use to do their job more or less motivating to that end than the apps, games, and social services they use to do something other than their job? Put another way, does the software your people use for play improve the quality of their work, more than the software they use for work?"

  • Debow tells RWW, "Everybody's expectations of both the tools and the way that they work was changing. The problem was, the things that were being given to them by the HR organization to help improve performance were designed for fifty years ago. None of these apps are truly social; they're certainly not delightful.
  • There, the manager can set variable-term goals for the workgroup sharing this feed as well as for one or more individuals within the group. These goals are represented by icons that appear within the "Key Objectives" column along the right side. Employees may use these icons to gauge their progress toward achieving these objectives. "It starts envisioning the world as a graph of objectives that companies do," he remarks.

"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: "

"“Social is hard!” is something I hear repeatedly by most of my clients and those I talk to. It is one of the issues I continually run across in my work with organizations trying to better understand social software and collaboration tools for their organization as well as helping vendors better understand their gaps and how to close them as social scales.

I have my “40 Plus Social Lenses” that I use to set foundations and understandings to better see issues, gaps, and understand the potential ways forward. Everything requires testing and rarely does the good solution work everywhere as there are no best practices, because what we are working with is humans and how they are social. Humans and how we interact is not simple, we are not simple social creatures."

  • Not only does culture come from global cultural differences, but understanding an organizations culture is also essential as many times the organization has its own ingrained ways of handling things and its culture is broadly adopted through learning or other less formal enculturation patterns
  • As it is with many things, it is not the individual pieces of this 5 part question looking to find a simple answer, but it is almost always a mix of some, if not all of these five elements.

" Effective organizational collaboration comes about when workers regularly narrate their work within a structure that encourages transparency and shares power & decision-making. I have also learned that changing work routines can be a messy process that requires significant time, much of it dedicated to modelling behaviours. "

  • as for the new social and collaboration skills that workers require, well you simply can’t train people to be social! What was required was getting down and dirty and helping people understand what it actually meant to work collaboratively in the new social workplace, and the value that this would bring to them.

"Shifts in global, societal, technological, economic, and socio-political trends will shape the future of work. The culmination of these distinct trends across multiple facets of societal and technological advancement will lead to an increased use of game mechanics in the workplace of the future. Over the last several years, several Microsoft teams have deployed “productivity games” to improve software engineering processes through the application of game mechanics. Augmenting a business process with game mechanics has led to significant productivity improvements. These lessons support the notion that games can – and will – be an important component of the workplace of the future."

  • Focusing either on expanding skills in role, or “organizational citizenship behaviors” - OCB’s - that require core skills – is the best way to ensure the success of a productivity game.  Player motivation is a key component of the success of a productivity game.

"I was mulling over this when I was invited by Hindustan Times to speak at Dialogues on the topic: ‘Are employees invisible to the HR? Rethinking tomorrow’s organization!’

I could not disagree more, I thought. I strongly believe that employees can never be invisible to human resource professionals. They are, in fact, the very raison de être of HR.
But I also could not help thinking: Perhaps it is time for HR to become invisible."

  • I believe that it is high time that line managers assumed responsibility for their team members to become the interface between the employee and the organization. HR, in turn, should step aside and wear the “invisibility cloak”.
  • In other words, I am not suggesting that the HR become inconsequential. Instead, that is stands as a shadow, providing invisible support to the line manager.

"One of the questions that comes up all-too-frequently when discussing social collaboration in the enterprise these days is the (still) infamous ROI question. Sometimes this is because the various manifestations of Enterprise 2.0 and social intranets haven't gone past the "we'd better start adopting or we'll be in the stone ages" stage that e-mail or traditional intranets themselves reached well over a decade ago."

"One of the most difficult challenges companies face today is how to be more flexible and adaptive in a dynamic, volatile business environment. How do you build a company that can identify and capitalize on opportunities, navigate around risks and other challenges, and respond quickly to changes in the environment? How do you embed that kind of agility into the DNA of your company?

The answer is to distribute control in such a way that decisions can be made as quickly and as close to customers as possible. There is no way for people to respond and adapt quickly if they have to get permission before they can do anything."

adaptability control podularity pod empowerment value processes values rules behaviors scalability costs

  • If you want an adaptive company, you will need to unleash the creative forces in your organization, so people have the freedom to deliver value to customers and respond to their needs more dynamically. One way to do this is by enabling small, autonomous units that can act and react quickly and easily, without fear of disrupting other business activities – pods.
  • A pod is a small, autonomous unit that is enabled and empowered to deliver the things that customers value.

Celui du modèle de création de valeur et du fonctionnement de l'entreprise nouvelle dans un monde ou l'énergie et la matière, les ressources et les ingrédients de base de l'ère industrielle que nous laissons peu à peu derrière nous, laissent place à l'information - la nouvelle énergie - et à la matière grise que chacun active.

  • D'une manière générale, l'émotion demeure une denrée précieuse dans l'entreprise, de plus en plus appréciée des managers. Si l'enthousiasme ou la joie sont évidemment stimulantes, certaines émotions jugées négatives, telles la colère, possèdent aussi certaines vertus.
  • Mais curieusement, alors même que nombre de managers prônent un usage raisonné de l'émotion au travail, la prolifération des open-spaces tend au contraire à l'en bannir ! «L'open-space, adopté par près de 60% des grandes et moyennes entreprises, est un véritable «tue-l'émotion». Il créé des comportements factices, des attitudes de façade»

"# Education is not going to help. The world is full of well educated tyrants.
# Holding up the examples of new businesses like Zappos does not work. There is nothing in the way a Zappos operates to which an existing businesses can relate. By all means explain the differences but leave it at that. Let management work through this for themselves. It might make a model for the future.
# Tools are not going to help. No amount of layering social tools will encourage staff who are stuck unless they see those tools as a way of relieving stress that is not tied to concerns about management.
# Talking about cultural change will not work. This is not about culture, it is about behavior. The two are related but different.
# A continuing emphasis on top line performance wont work. Selling more by simply layering social elements does not work for the reasons outlined and a lot more besides."

"People who are engaged in profit-orientated businesses are, for the most part, employed to perform specific types of tasks. Whether the task is on a production line or producing invoices, people develop a set of skills and sell those skills to an employer. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that the employees of a company are focused on what they are compensated to produce."

"In the recent Gartner Social Software Hype Cycle, analyst Anthony Bradley introduced a new category, Activity-Specific Social Applications:

“As social software implementations mature, application patterns are evolving, and the software industry is responding with activity-centric social application offerings rather than with generic social software capability suites. Delivering a targeted social solution with a general purpose social tool (such as wikis and blogs) can involve significant development, configuration, and templating effort.”"

Social IT leadership is leadership that is exercised through the organization’s internal social media (Enterprise 2.0) and used to spread visions, provide feedback, develop and communicate organizational culture, and motivate knowledge workers for knowledge sharing and to work together across organizational structures. The leadership has a social and relational character, and use social mechanisms to help in the execution.

  • A Social IT leaders’ most important function will be to facilitate common knowledge created and open network among the employees. This implies a shift of the information’s power center, which previously has been within the management, to the employees. This will require a change of culture, for both the employees and the managers in an implementation phas
  • Knowledge on how to develop networks and engages to knowledge creation will be a key competence. Moreover, the leader must be conscious of own behavior on the sites. By using the platform the leader will be able to consciously exercise a leadership that encourages, engages, involves, and not least creates knowledge among the employees
