"I put on my curmudgeon hat and had another look at Social. I voiced my concerns about Social Business, its challenges, its extremely high dependence on people for data quality and business information, as well its cannibalisation of your current business offerings.
Now, it’s time to voice my concerns about Social Enterprise. And well about time, after this long introduction…"

"Another obstacle to the impact economy's expansion came crumbling down earlier this week when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation creating a legal structure for social enterprises in his state.

The bill allows corporations to organize themselves as Benefit Corporations, for-profit entities that have a specific social mission. It had languished for several months on the governor’s desk until a spate of late-year legislation was completed, but passed New York’s divided legislature unanimously."

  • The law mandates that company directors consider not just bottom-line profit, but also their business’ social and environmental impact, as they make governance decisions. Without the new framework, businesses seeking to combine profit-making with good works face potential legal challenges, difficulty attracting capital and thorny issues around how to sell or scale their firms.
  • Now, the biggest challenge is to induce ever-larger and more varied companies to adopt the governance framework. Coen Gilbert hopes to see more startups and established companies taking advantage of the legal change, and perhaps even larger public companies.

"Comment concilier le souci d'efficacité économique avec l'exigence de démocratie ? Comment se fait-il que nous acceptions d'être dirigés au travail d'une manière que nous refuserions au-dehors ? La démocratie a-t-elle sa place dans l'entreprise ? Est-ce une utopie ?"

  • Chez l’une comme chez l’autre de ces démocraties entrepreneuriales, les chefs ne tiennent pas d’abord leur pouvoir de leur hiérarchie mais de leur base : ils peuvent être destitués si leur évaluation par leurs subordonnés s’avère défavorable.
  • le projet politique interne est indissociable de l’ambition économique : tant Ricardo Semler, le fondateur de Semco, que Michel Hervé, le fondateur du groupe Hervé, considèrent qu’un succès économique durable passe par la satisfaction des besoins politiques de leurs salariés, et que le premier d’entre eux étant l’autonomie, il faut par conséquent qu’ils puissent se gouverner eux-mêmes.

This post deals with adoption of social software in enterprises. It might echo with people that have faced problems in getting others to believe that their approach works. It promotes how to “get a feel” for success; rather than a measure of adoption. It’s in-house employees and veterans of the company that know how dispersed a deployment really is.

  • Whilst many things have been written about aficionados and early adopters, it’s critical to involve non-power-users for their insight into the maturity of a deployment. It’s those people that offer the most valuable and realistic view of adoption. Like slow-burning logs in a fire, they take some time to get going but eventually beam us through to a mature roll-out.

     

  • Making social actions accountable to verbs, is something I’ve written about before – they would make metrics look trustworthy and close to business goals. We’ve even seen ROI-driven approaches that might lead to better processes.

"It’s been the issue for a small period of time now, and I’ve contemplated the idea in a few blog posts: I really think this is the end of us throwing technical ‘solutions’ at a business or organisational ‘problem’ – and that we will all agree that E2.0 and Social are about humans, people, change management, radical organisation change, and, in the end, about tools"

  • Enterprises aren’t used to adapting. They adapt their environment to themselves. If their environment doesn’t adapt, they adopt their environment: incorporate them into a subsidiary, a third, fourth or fifth leg. There are giants out there becoming even bigger giants just by engulfing others
  • Employees aren’t used to adopting. They feel they have to adapt to their company – and rightfully so. Of course they (should) add value to their company, but it’s not their company – they only (want and need to) belong to it; they’ll adapt

  • Fabrice Poireaud-Lambert showed a very interesting 4 axis graphs (Organization and HR / Competencies / Methods and Tools / Culture and Behaviors) that LdE used to evaluate the change factor of such a project on the enterprise scale. They reached a 12/16 value which is pretty high.
  • Executives support for project involving change of such magnitude. Big changes project need legitimation. The reason : without strong leadership and executive support, the project is a lost cause against managers who have day to day budget and objectives.

"The reason I bring that up is that in looking at better ways that an organization can operate, we often look at the current service delivery model. How are services shared, delivered and managed? Which functions and resources are centralized and which are distributed? Does centralization mean less flexibility? Does distribution mean less reliability? We look at services inside the organization through the lenses of People, Process and Technology.

This is a long way of saying: I’ve been thinking about “shared services” and how that concept is going to change very soon."

  • It couldn’t be more obvious these days. People are literally carrying two laptops and two cellphones with them. Sit down in any meeting (although I notice this trend far more in the US than in Canada right now) and you can be sure that a handful of the people there will reach in one pocket for their Blackberry, and then they will reach in to another pocket for their iPhone.
  • The Personal Enterprise (or the Facebookisation of it) is not about picking and choosing which services get opened up and which have controlled delivery, instead it is about opening up as much data as possible and creating an ecosystem that allows personalization to be developed.

"My take. The promise of convergence between consumer social computing and large-scale enterprise technology is at hand, making this a vibrant and creative time. As definitions of consumer and enterprise blur, future success belongs to vendors that innovate and adapt to evolving perceptions around what “enterprise” actually means."

The group did a web survey of its 100 members with 77 responding. That may seem like a small number to use for any quantifiable conclusion about the state of Enterprise 2.0. But the people who responded lead or help lead Enterprise 2.0 efforts at some of the largest organizations in the world. Thirty-four percent of the respondents work for companies with more than 10,000 employees. Twenty-five percent work for organizations that have more than 100,000 employees.

This increasing distance between these two worlds creates a gap — a disconnect, even — that increasingly cuts organizations off from their most valuable assets (their people) and also exerts a subversive force on organizations as their workers help themselves to the tools of their own volition, bring their (and arguably better) new behaviors and processes to work, and try to get things done with them, whether that’s crowdsourcing, Enterprise 2.0, online customer communities, etc.

La demi-stratégie

Beaucoup de nos entreprises ont non pas une stratégie, mais une moitié de stratégie. Elles veulent « grossir pour survivre », mais restent campées sur leur activité traditionnelle et refusent de diversifier leur offre. Elles veulent « réduire les coûts », mais négligent le marketing. Elles veulent « assainir les finances », mais répudient la R&D. Leurs dirigeants négligent la polyphonie de l'entreprise, la multiplicité des logiques qu'elle articule (voir Modèle en couches) et qui toutes sont nécessaires, pour n'accorder d'attention qu'à une seule mélodie.
