Ce sujet n'est pas neutre, ces managers vont être les principaux relais dans la mise en place de communautés ou de plateforme collaborative dans votre organisation. Les avoir contre vous, c'est la garantie de l'échec de votre projet. Maintenant, il ne faut pas se leurrer, dans une organisation collaborative, le rôle traditionnel de ce management va évoluer, il ne peut pas demeurer le même. Comme le disait Peter Drucker : "90% de ce que nous nommons le management consiste à compliquer le travail des collaborateurs. Dans un nouveau monde de management, je vois l'employé gérer sa charge de travail et demander un soutien à un coach quand il en a besoin". Ce n'est pas sans rappeler le fonctionnement d'une entreprise collaborative.

My triggering point for this post was a post by Peter Bergman in the Harvard Business blogs on the best way to change corporate culture. It is in many ways a recapitulation of fundamental issues organizations face on the cultural side. He says: "Performance reviews and training programs define the firm's expectations. Financial reward systems reinforce them. Memos and communications highlight what's important. And senior leadership actions — promotions for people who toe the line and a dead end career for those who don't — emphasize the firm's priorities. In most organizations these elements develop unconsciously and organically to create a system that, while not always ideal, works."

What all of this really boils down is two things - human and social capital. Toyota in my view could be one such company - the robust and high performance knowledge sharing network they have built across their supply chain is a case in point. See research paper here .

The result is that a lot of people in the workforce have a pretty narrow view of what the word “colleague” means. It’s important to broaden that definition and cultivate relationships with people in other fields. Here’s why.

L’entreprise 2.0, ce n’est pas « une entreprise + du Web 2.0 ». L’objectif n’est pas la création d’une entreprise technophile mais d’une « entreprise intelligente » dont les salariés ont un vouloir coopérer (une culture, des croyances qui favorisent les coopérations intellectuelles), un savoir coopérer (un mode de management adapté à l’entraide sur les activités très intellectuelles) et enfin un pouvoir coopérer (une organisation et un fonctionnement qui favorisent la transversalité et le partage des bonnes pratiques). Les technologies Web 2.0 font partie du pouvoir coopérer, elles viennent en support de la culture, des compétences et du fonctionnement de l’organisation.

La démocratisation totale des moyens de communication, l’explosion du volume d’information disponible - et son organisation, bien sûr, par Google - ne manquent pas de rappeler les responsables du moteur de recherche - auront un impact aussi important, estime Hal Varian, que l’introduction de la chaîne d’assemblage dans l’industrie, voici un siècle. “On optimise ainsi les flux d’information et d’idées pour l’économie de la connaissance.

I think this integration and the development of more focused capabilities that sit on top of Wave will be key to its success. As I mentioned earlier, I think that the completely open Wave will get some use as a novelty and even as a collaboration platform. However, it is too open ended for many work applications, as people will not want to recreate the functionality and features. It can potentially serve as a meeting point for applications. On the other hand, people might want to shape application themselves and not be forced to follow the structure of existing applications.

Tools and technologies are often budgeted for at a departmental level rather than being designed to interoperate between departments, which provides better financial and organizational value. The ability to scale the entire company instead of grappllng with disparate next-generation toolsets in each department that don't work well with other parts of the business is the way to multiple 2.0 silos in the future.

You will find that close to half of the emails in our inbox don’t have much to do with “communication” at all, and fall in one of the above categories. Ironically, email is supposed to be a tool for “asynchronous communication”. A majority of emails are about teams and groups coordinating activities, discussing work related matters, or actually working on tasks like editing documents and sending them back and forth as attachments.

Check out the YouTube video "Alan Cohen, Cisco VP Enterprise Solutions, on Enterprise Strategy" where you will see an interview with Alan Cohen himself, Vice President, Enterprise Marketing, that lasts for a bit over four minutes and which touches base on a number of different topics related to the future of Enterprise Computing and Collaboration, as he has written over at the blog Collaboration - The Workplace: A New World of Communications and Collaboration. Plenty of very interesting and juicy insights on where we are heading with all of this social networking in the business world.

Intriguing new just-released reports now show that between a third and one half of businesses either already are or will be employing so-called Enterprise 2.0 tools in the workplace (blogs, wikis, and social networking/messaging) in 2009. The data also show that security concerns remain high, access is actually fairly low, compliance with mainstream enterprise data practices is poor, and some workers aren’t planning to get anywhere near them.

The footnote behind Implementation numbers

I’m as much of an Enterprise 2.0 cheerleader as the next guy and I even make a very good living off it. But let’s be honest here. Whilst the report says 1 in 2 companies will deploy some Enterprise 2.0 tool, a more glaring finding is that only 1 in 10 users adopt the tools, once deployed. What good does that do to anyone? “Enterprise 2.0 faces serious risk of fizzling out” should have been a bold warning in the summary of the Forrester report.

I think of Enterprise 2.0 adoption as a journey through a succession of benefits. I've illustrated them in what I call the "Social Software Value Matrix." The first step in the journey is pure operational improvement. You're not really changing the way you do business, just enhancing existing interactions within existing silos. Over time, the tools lead employees to interact in new ways, across silos. This creates cultural change as the company reinvents the way the different pieces of the business interact to create value. Finally, and most dramatically, companies can create new interactions with customers and channel partners. That's business model transformation, and it only happens when your business is ready for it.

Workers of the world, go remote!

During this time of economic crisis and reinvention of global capitalism, one of the things crying out for reinvention is the rigid workplace of the last century. It is amazing in the digital age that most work is still associated with industrial age work rhythms and the symbolic chains that tie workers, knowledge and otherwise, to fixed locations. Flexible workplaces with flexible hours and days are long in coming.

Many other companies are also trying to foster greater collaboration within their ranks. Some are using web-based social media to help them. For instance, Lockheed Martin, an American defence giant, plans to roll out Unity—a software platform that encourages employees from different areas to connect with one another via blogs, wikis and other online tools—across its entire business later this year, after piloting it in one area. But dismantling internal barriers to co-operation is a tricky business that requires much more than smart software. Unless firms are careful, there is a real danger that collaborative crusades could do them more harm than good.

The greater the collaboration (measured by hours of help a team received), the worse the result (measured by success in winning contracts). We ultimately determined that experienced teams typically didn’t learn as much from their peers as they thought they did. And whatever marginal knowledge they did gain was often outweighed by the time taken away from their work on the proposal.

First of all, let me recap some of the key fundamentals of Enterprise 2.0 - social networking with friends, colleagues and business partners, collaboration on job specific tasks (possibly on the same platform), sharing and trusting people in the network. So what are the potential problems people might face?

When you define the purpose of an intranet, there are several angles to examine. Each angle requires making a choice. However, they are not mutually exclusive choices. They are choices about what you decide to emphasize.

Over the past two years, McKinsey has studied more than 50 early adopters to garner insights into successful efforts to use Web 2.0 as a way of unlocking participation. We have surveyed, independently, a range of executives on Web 2.0 adoption. Our work suggests the challenges that lie ahead. To date, as many survey respondents are dissatisfied with their use of Web 2.0 technologies as are satisfied. Many of the dissenters cite impediments such as organizational structure, the inability of managers to understand the new levers of change, and a lack of understanding about how value is created using Web 2.0 tools. We have found that, unless a number of success factors are present, Web 2.0 efforts often fail to launch or to reach expected heights of usage. Executives who are suspicious or uncomfortable with perceived changes or risks often call off these efforts. Others fail because managers simply don’t know how to encourage the type of participation that will produce meaningful results.
