"I want to answer 4 basic questions:

My Business Purpose: Why am I pursuing this innovation?

Pilot Structure: How can I execute it with the least amount of resources and commitments yet still achieve an appreciable, measurable result?

Evaluation Model: What will my KPI's be and how will I evaluate the value delivered from the pilot to my business

Pilot Execution & Next Steps: how can I learn as much as possible while also driving towards business goals? "

"For years, book after book and article after article have praised Google as a citadel of innovation. They have lauded the incredible corporate culture where employees are treated like entrepreneurs. They have waxed lyrical about the staff’s freedom to spend 20 percent of their time on whatever they feel like going. It’s portrayed as a brilliantly innovative place with the brightest of the bright. New ideas are bubbling up all over. Writers have glowed with delight as they watched this wonder child become the star of the stock market."

  • The reality is somewhat different. The truth is that Google gets 95 percent of its revenues from a single core business—ads from searches.
  • Gmail is popular but makes little money. Apart from Android, Google has produced a series of flops like Google Wave, Google Buzz, and Orkut.

"Andrew Keen est une sorte de contre-gourou. Face aux évangélistes de tout poil qui nous vendent de la pensée magique par kilo, il est un des représentants de ces gens qui viennent un peu casser les rêves. Exemple type, avec la sentence ainsi prononcée mardi soir : « [There is] no evidence that social media has cured anything ».
Saint-Thomas était parmi-nous, mais comme je l’ai dis sur Twitter : il a raison. J’aurai même ajouté que c’est une évidence car, le Social Media n’étant qu’un moyen, ce sont les gens qui résolvent les choses, pas l’outil dont il se servent. Relisez Tribes, ou cet excellent billet de savoir si la technologie peut éradiquer la pauvreté. Bien vu, Hubert : la technologie n’est pas le progrès !"

  • Mardi soir en écoutant keen et en pensant à Lanier, j’ai surtout revisité mentalement le dernier chapitre de Smart Mobs de Rheingold, celui où il nous dit que la technologie ne produit que ce que nous décidons d’en faire.

And now, in this final segment, we're learning from the folks who have seen the successes and failures of implementing Enterprise 2.0 technologies first hand, as they share their Top Enterprise 2.0 Tips for improving workforce collaboration in 2009. As one would expect, these tips might conflict with one another, since each CEO has a different vision for the needs in the industry and a different idea of how best to fulfill them. Hopefully, as 2009 progresses, we're going to hear more and more differentiation from each of these players as they struggle with the threat of commoditization.

Goals are indeed a pull system. Goals come from internal processes. We have individual and shared goals that motivate us to act.
Goals pull us, we ideally act based on goals. These individual actions are tasks. The tasks we take on are in service of the goals. However, if we don’t actually enjoy what we’re doing in service of these goals or, worse yet, act contrary to our goals – we are squandering our lives.

In a business context, if goals are clear amongst teams and the organization, the work involved in achieving those goals is more likely to be rewarding. We are happier in doing it. And this is a pull process.

  • The push of drive is the artificial force necessary to apply to people to get them to work contrary to their own goals.

    Enter here the concept of friction.  When you apply an external force to an object to get it to move, friction occurs.  The amount of friction is the amount of energy lost in the transfer of momentum from one object to another.  Loss of energy = waste.

    In a pull system, things operate faster by removing friction or constraints.  In a push system, things operate faster by applying more force.

Le plus important, c’est de savoir ce que vous voulez faire et comment vous allez le faire. Le moyen choisi pour mesurer ne vient qu’ensuite. “

  • A force de marteler des slogans du type “On ne pilote que ce que l’on mesure”, on mesure un peu tout et n’importe quoi. Au final on ne sait plus trop ce que l’on pilote, ni même si on pilote. Je me demande s’il ne faudrait pas, durant un temps en tout cas, inverser la formule afin de se recentrer sur l’essentiel. “ On ne mesure que ce que l’on pilote”.
