"To stay competitive, organizations need to continually find opportunities for innovation in key processes such as customer service and product development, and adoption of a new process almost always requires the implementation of new information technology. In his 1990 classic HBR article "Reengineering Work: Don't Automate, Obliterate," Michael Hammer argued that IT must drive radical process innovation.

Unfortunately, this creates two problems. First, as Hammer argued, these large investments in new IT systems tend to deliver disappointing results, largely because companies tend to use technology to mechanize old ways of doing business. That is, they leave the existing processes intact and use computers simply to speed them up, rather than redesign them from scratch. "

"Kodak has recently declared bankruptcy. Usually, when this hits the news it is analyzed by the numbers people who, looking at five years’ worth of financial data, give their quantitative and financial explanation of the failure. More qualitative types will go back 10 years sometimes, and even go beyond finances to talk about strategy, CEOs, competition, and the like. Recent well-done Financial Times articles (here and here) go back even further for Kodak. And yet people still fail to see Kodak’s real problem."

"This corporate immune system, as you might have guessed, is known as company culture. It’s a shared set of norms, practices, customs, expectations, and habits that have formed around and perpetuate how a company works and operates. While company culture is great at making the business function as expected and helps foster continuity and order, it’s also astonishingly good at killing off attempted changes to the system; undesirable and desirable both. It’s one reason why the entire industry of change management has emerged, so that companies can keep up with the our era’s ever increasing rate of change, of which technology itself is the most disruptive and high-velocity example."

"But, while the dramatic advances in digital technologies have been well measured and quantified, their impact on firms, economies and individuals has been more anecdotal. We talk about how this digital revolution has been transforming just about every aspect of business, society and our personal lives, bringing us both near-magical products and services as well as their accompanying creative destruction and pain. But, how can we quantify this revolution beyond its technological foundations?"

"Définir de façon précise et universelle ce que l’on entend par gouvernance de l’information prendrait des mois car chaque personne est susceptible d’avoir une perception très personnelle, très intime de ce terme. Nous avons donc décidé de prendre une voie plus simple, qui s’inscrit d’ailleurs dans l’ADN même de ce qu’on appelle la gouvernance de l’information :"

"Earlier this month I gave a couple of webinars on encouraging user adoption of your social intranet. As long as we’ve been building intranet software and as long as we’ve been going to conferences, the theme of adoption is always present. And for good reason.

This blog post covers some of the ideas about adoption, what it is, why it matters, and how to encourage it."

"When considering culture change, more than a few of the senior leaders I’ve engaged with say, “You can’t change corporate culture.” I’m not surprised at this belief. Blanchard’s experience indicates that most senior leaders, in their careers, have not lived through successful culture change. Even fewer have led successful culture change."

De la même façon, rien ne changera si on ne change pas la dénomination de la personne chargée de piloter cette évolution. Mais transformer le Directeur des Ressources Humaines en Directeur du Capital Humain cela implique quoi ?"

"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.”"

"In March 2010, CEO Hiroshi Mikitani (HBS MBA '93) stood in front of his employees at online retail giant Rakuten's Tokyo headquarters and dropped a bomb: all 7,100 workers would have two years to become proficient in English—the "language of business"—or risk demotion.

"I was simply astonished," said an engineer interviewed after the announcement. "Many Rakuten employees are allergic to English."

In a company where just 10 percent of all workers at the time spoke English, Mikitani's move was radical and divisive. He even coined a term for the conversion: "Englishnization.""

"If we have learned anything during the past few years it is that the pace of change is absolutely ridiculous. No matter what part of the organization you are in, your ability to keep pace is challenged daily. If we can accept this as a truth, then there is uniquely one best practice that might stand a chance, how we adapt to change. Other than that, all other ‘Best Practices’ are simply roadblocks to success and excuses to remain irrelevant. "

"Tom Kelly, general manager of IDEO, the world-renowned design firm, likes to quote French novelist Marcel Proust, who famously said, "The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes." What goes for novelists goes for leaders searching to craft a novel strategy for their company, a new product for their customers, or a better way to organize their employees. In a world that never stops changing, great leaders never stop learning."

"It's rare to find a corporate human resources function that accelerates change by actively finding ways to help drive new strategies. Most HR groups sit back and wait for requests from the business for administrative people transactions. In their role of stewards of policy compliance, they can tend to be a brake on change.

But not at IBM. Its HR function has been instrumental in the $100 billion company's metamorphosis from a floundering computer manufacturer in the 1990s to a prosperous software and consulting services company today. HR has helped the organization absorb more than 125 acquisitions since 2000, and integrate globally, saving $6 billion since 2005."

"Un article récent de Jonathan Miles sur son blog intitulé “A group of would be friends” (« Un groupe d’amis potentiels »), dont l’origine est partie d’une discussion sur twitter, s’interroge sur les raisons pour lesquelles les gens ne s’engagent pas dans l’apprentissage. Jane Hart pense que ce phénomène vient du fait que les gens ne sont pas intéressés par leur travail ; par conséquent, comment pourraient-ils être intéressés par l’apprentissage ? On a demandé à Jonathan de raconter son histoire, qui correspond au propos de son post. C’est un bon exemple d'une communauté qui s’épanouit dès lors qu’elle se construit sur l’humain. Et si Jane a tout à fait raison, sa réponse n'est qu'une partie du problème."

Il apparaît à de plus en plus de gens que nos organisations héritées du taylorisme disposent avec les nouvelles technologies de larges réserves d’efficacité qui ne demandent qu’à être libérées. A condition d’intégrer pleinement les possibilités offertes par les nouveaux usages numériques, et de pouvoir conduire le changement, et dans les structures et dans les mentalités. Et de savoir où aller, et par quoi commencer.

"Organizations adding social elements to their intranets are finding that doing so creates new opportunities for collaboration. When I spoke to Jack MacKay, CIO of the American Hospital Association, he told me the AHA lists the key initiatives of its 13 business units along with how they tie into the AHA's central strategic plan. The result is "a direct line of sight" into projects that makes it easier to track them and identify possible areas for improvement. And as MacKay said, "As people become more aware of activities of other departments, they start seeing opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration.""

"You know your organization needs to change. You've developed a strategic view about where you need to go and you've matched that up with an understanding of the changes that will require in your culture. You've thought very hard about organizational mindsets and personal behaviors that will need to shift to get there. Now, you actually have to do something to shift them. "
