"Soyons clair, quand on parle ici d’entreprise 2.0 on parle bien de cette dernière dans ses trois dimensions : interne, externe et présence ce sur les médias sociaux. Voici la synthèse de différentes études qu’a fait Dion Hinchcliffe, du Dachis Group, au dernier Enterprise 2.0 summit qui s’est tenu à Paris en février."

"Many of us in business have heard the popular aphorism, "People are your greatest asset." Some of us may even believe it. But is this sentiment reflected in our corporate cultures and the way our leaders lead? For the most part, no — and there's a reason for that. "

"A team of more than 40 IBM consultants have undertaken a massive redesign of IBM’s web properties: a galactic redesign that includes both the external website and internal intranet.

The core objective: a Single design system that converges the intranet (W3) and Internet standards, incorporates reusable design patterns and evolves the design system through collaboration."

"A growing number of companies talk about the benefits of adopting web 2.0 tools inside the organization, but the list is short for companies that are using them for increased business results.

Unisys, the 138-year old tech firm, has quickly made "going social" part of its culture. Here's how they did it, and how they're using social media tools to become more agile, to share knowledge, and to increase the speed of innovation."

  •   

    One of the biggest barriers to social collaboration is a disconnect between aspirations to become collaborative and the reality of being a closed organization. Unisys CEO Ed Coleman addressed this through leading by example

  • Gloria Burke, Director of Knowledge Strategy & Governance, along with co-directors John Knab and Rajiv Prasad, launched Inside Unisys, a social network internal to the firm. Coleman began blogging and soon his senior executives encouraged their teams to do so as well. Employees are automatically alerted to blog postings and microblog postings on the newsfeeds on Inside Unisys. Over time, Unisys sales people began using Inside Unisys to share information about recent wins as well as share lessons in losses.

"Understanding who knows what inside today’s modern organizations can be an exercise in frustration, especially when you’re trying to get things accomplished in tight timelines. Social software that delivers insight into the community can help by making it easier to find the right person. SAP’s Scott Lawley explores how, by leveraging community connections and interactions, a series of expertise dimensions can be measured, computed, and put to good use to improve collaboration."

  • Sales, however, has a different story. The sales organization is rewarded for selling. Period. Sales reps are generally held accountable for deals closed and revenue targets on a quarterly and annual basis. In this case, online communities do not provide a solution.
  • But at the end of the day, the sales rep still will not use the online communities. Why? Because online communities as they are today do not help sales reps close more deals.

"Earlier this week I gave the opening keynote at the Sydney launch of Tibbr, the new social enterprise offering from TIBCO. I hope to have the video of my presentation up before long.

Before the event I summarized some of the very positive commentary on Tibbr since the San Francisco launch two weeks ago.

It’s now time to offer my own thoughts. Here is what I think is most interesting and important about Tibbr."

  • Tibbr at its heart is very simple – you can follow the activity streams from individuals, discussion on particular subjects, and from applications. Bringing these all together in one interface means that all activity across the organization relevant to the individual can be brought together in one easy-to-use interface.
  • This is critical, because the reality is that most social software suites today are an overlay to core enterprise applications – they enable conversations and collaborative work but don’t link in a meaningful way to core systems such as CRM or ERP systems. Tibbr is from the outset linked to all applications, drawing on the 140 technology and application adaptors that TIBCO has developed. An open SDK is available for companies who have in-house applications that they want to integrate with.

"En effet, si l’on en revient au fait que les applications de Case Management font appel aux compétences des experts métiers, une nouvelle problématique se pose : comment identifier le bon expert ? Quelle est la personne dans l’organisation qui a le savoir nécessaire et suffisant pour aider à prendre la bonne décision ? Le principe même du Case Management est de proposer une activité à un gestionnaire, lequel gestionnaire est soit suffisament compétent pour la réaliser, soit suffisamment compétent pour demander de l’aide à la bonne personne. Case Management règle le cas où le gestionnaire est le sachant, il lui suffit dans ce cas de compléter sa tâche. Case Management règle également le cas où le gestionnaire n’est pas le sachant mais sait identifier ce dernier. Il utilise alors les outils collaboratifs pour contacter la bonne personne."

casemanagement expertise expertslocation

  • Ce que ne règle pas Case Management c’est le cas où le gestionnaire ne sait pas à qui faire appel. Comment attribuer alors une activité à quelqu’un si on ne sait pas identifier ce quelqu’un, comment procéder pour trouver la bonne personne ?
  • mettre en forme un contexte workflow dès lors que le gestionnaire ne sait pas à qui attribuer l’activité, à l’exporter non pas vers une personne nommée mais vers une solution de management de la compétence – appelez ça « réseau d’expertise collaboratif » si vous préférez – et ainsi à soumettre ce contexte à une solution qui aiderait à identifier la bonne personne. Charge alors au système de réaiguiller vers cette personne la tâche à accomplir, avec le minimum d’informations nécessaires pour son traitement et à revenir ensuite vers le gestionnaire Case Management pour faire avancer le process.

"Over the past few years, as organizations deploy social tools, expertise location has become one of the more common solutions associated with "Enterprise 2.0". The general assumption includes two primary ways of identifying "experts". The first method assumes that employee use of social tools (e.g., blogs, wikis, micro-blogging, communities) and social applications (e.g., ideation), enables their talent and business insight to be more visible and therefore more discoverable by co-workers. The second method revolves around the employee profile created as part of an enterprise social network site. It is assumed that employees will readily create and maintain rich profiles where they willingly share information about their job history, interests, hobbies, education, and areas of expertise."

"Here's a theme that's been causing a lot of debate amongst my peers of late — is a social intranet the same thing as a social workplace and the same as social collaboration? Can one product or set of features meet the needs of all of these requirements?"

    • Community: a group of people, usually a larger one, 25+ members with some affinity for each other.
    • Organization: a company, government agency, enterprise or other formally recognized institution that has a defined purpose for its existence.

"We go in search of expertise, or the person with knowledge about a subject, for many reasons:

* to answer our work-related questions, whether large or small

* to determine who should be included on a work team

* to bring together a community of practice

* to improve our problem-solving

* to improve our decision-making

* to fill in gaps in our own knowledge

* when looking for a mentor

* to add to our knowledge management system

* to identify and fill gaps in expertise

* to determine what expertise can be leveraged for future opportunities."

  • An expertise directory may be a good starting point  if you are lucky to have one already created; however you will  probably need to supplement it. If you do not have one available,  you will need to start looking from scratch.

"The SAP BusinessObjects Social Network Analyzer came out last year, combining business intelligence with relationship data to create a “social intelligence” solution. It’s a prototype from the SAP BusinessObjects Innovation Center. It can combine information from HR systems, CRM systems, project databases, committee attendee lists, distribution lists, and any other other system that contains relationships between people."

"With this entry I want to summarize and update what I wrote earlier. I gave a general update on the value of social networks for HR in January 2008 including a presentation I held at our global HR Business Partner meeting. Tonight I will be presenting at an HR sharing event on the relevance of Enterprise 2.0 for HR. Find the slides posted to Slideshare."

  • The ultimate goal is to create social capital, a workforce that is interconnected to make collaboration thrive through relationships of trust. This really brings added value to the company in form of constant learning (the learning organization), change agility, speed, efficiency and scale. In this context new organization forms are emerging like communities of practice or agile forms of development, an environment that fosters innovation.
  • HR is required as an enabler of E20, as change agent and organization designer. HR should be the engine behind company culture (Towers Perrin 2008).

"I do believe that social environments can have a powerful impact on an organization's "lateral connectivity" so to speak (vs. top-down). As background, I've looked at expertise location/automation systems since they emerged in the late nineties with Tacit (recently acquired by Oracle) perhaps being the most well-known."

"In-house experts, with their specialized knowledge and skills, could be invaluable to both colleagues and managers. But often workers who could use their help in other departments and locations don't even know they exist.

Talk about a waste! Because of an inability to tap expertise, problems go unsolved, new ideas never get imagined, employees feel underutilized and underappreciated. These are things that no business can afford anytime—let alone in this tough economic climate. Which is why so-called expertise-locator systems have become a hot topic in corporate IT."

experts expertslocation socialcomputing socialnetworks

  • Activities and interactions that occur in blogs, wikis and social networks naturally provide the cues that are missing from current expertise-search systems.
  • And social networks can help employees use existing relationships to not only reach out to distant experts but also trust them more than they would complete strangers.

Selon une étude rapportée par le magazine CIO, et réalisée par Osterman Research auprès de 200 organisations très diverses, 71% des répondants disent demander autour d'eux pour identifier un expert sur un sujet précis.

46% disent utiliser l'annuaire d'entreprise, 34% utilisent le site web ou l'intranet de l'entreprise, et 30% disent envoyer un email à toute l'entreprise (!).

Toujours selon l'étude, seuls 9% disent avoir automatisé la localisation d'experts.

A push for it was when the company assembled a team for a project but failed to have the most optimal people in that project, as we didn’t know they existed, and most would not be aware of the talent of these people as their job title does not give it away.

  • The fact that we now have online social tools that allow bottom-up grass roots effort to emerge is very enabling. These guys can now create a space and say look at us, come join us. If you create conditions by giving people the tools, the talent will surface, people will do the main aims of KM without you asking them.
  • A middle manager may say they don’t want their people wasting time on other things, but allowing this may just help the business be more progressive and adaptive. I think senior managers and middle managers need to be on par that it’s OK for people to spend some time on stuff that is non team related or better still even complementary to team work.

A new survey, however, finds that employees at big companies (with more than 10,000 employees) spend, on average, 38 minutes searching for one document -- whether that's on their own computers or their organization's networks, databases or intranet.

search intranet experts expertslocation findability

  • Just 9 percent of the companies responding to the survey have an automated system in place for locating experts.
  • Inside corporate firewalls, the consequences of bad findability are less immediate, harder to measure and less visible. The connections to the bottom line results are harder to trace. But bad findability internally will nonetheless lead to death, although a slow and painful one.
