IBM Focuses HR on Change

"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."

"We observed that 80% of leadership development is based on work experience. We looked to see what we could do to create a work-related development opportunity.
we took the top people in mature markets and assigned them to help and mentor people in the growth markets. Growth market leaders learn from major markets, and equally important, vice versa."

- Over the past decade we moved from a multinational organization to a globally integrated enterprise with global standard processes. For example, I have taken 8,000 HR software applications (largely focused on the HR needs of individual IBM country units) down to under 1,000.
- We're starting to expand 'diversity' to also mean 'inclusion' — helping people work together."
- Instead of grabbing available resources and authority, they waited for the boss to tell them what do; they delegated up
- The core of a performance-based culture is more use of analytics. We needed to start in HR by becoming more analytical, using data, defining cause-and-effect relationships, and tying HR activities to business results."
- "We link our external branding to our internal brand,
- IBM encourages employees to use social media — a far cry from the day when no one could communicate externally without prior approval
- IBM is also different because it hires and develops people for the long term at all levels — not just for today's job openings and not just senior management.

Thoughts on the Real Value of Enterprise Internet

"One thing that stands out for me from this dialog is that business objectives such as cohesive strategies, phased adoptions, and cross-domain political reformation are intersecting with the idea of the “Internet” in the form of cloud computing, Web 2.0 application ecosystems, and mobility. What results is a complex set of patterns -- something like an abstract mosaic. "

To clarify: End values may sound rather bland or clichéd. Examples include things like cost-effective service delivery, business alignment
enabling values sound flashy and get a lot of media attention -- cloud computing most of all, right now. But cloud is not the “endpoint of a journey” so much as a catalyst. Cloud, Web 2.0, and other Internet-related technologies are helping to transform the role of IT to that of a broker of services rather than a back-office purveyor of technology.

- Optimization is not just about cost; it’s about relevance and value as well.
- The end value of technology always resides outside it -- in the human beings who consume it and in what they do with it.
- They are all just tools to allow human beings to move forward more happily and more effectively in their lives and work.

Unique methods are new processes that differ from traditional methods. In fact unique methods may be the total opposite of traditional methods and there lies the power of enablement.
When people use the word enablement it typically implies a new approach to accomplishing something or solving an existing problem. People and businesses are enabled by technology to create new methods or processes aimed at solving old problems or creating brand new value opportunities.

- Enablement is not technology by itself rather it is allowing people to think what can be done with technology. When you combined human behavior with social technology you expand the creative forces of human desire for opportunity and you enable people with the means to capture said opportunities.
