Why You Can't Use Personal Technology at the Office

"At the office, you've got a sluggish computer running aging software, and the email system routinely badgers you to delete messages after you blow through the storage limits set by your IT department. Searching your company's internal Web site feels like being teleported back to the pre-Google era of irrelevant search results.

At home, though, you zip into the 21st century. You've got a slick, late-model computer and an email account with seemingly inexhaustible storage space. And while Web search engines don't always figure out exactly what you're looking for, they're practically clairvoyant compared with your company intranet.

This is the double life many people lead: yesterday's technology for work, today's technology for everything else. The past decade has brought awesome innovations to the marketplace—Internet search, the iPhone, Twitter and so on—but consumers, not companies, embrace them first and with the most gusto."

  • Companies now have an array of technologies at their disposal to give employees greater freedom without breaking the bank or laying out a welcome mat for hackers
  • Some forward-thinking companies are already giving employees more freedom to pick mobile phones, computers and applications for work—in some cases, they're even giving workers allowances to spend on outfitting themselves. The result, they've found, is more-productive

Google Gets Serious about Innovation

So when the company says it’s missing out on good ideas, this is both surprising, and perhaps somewhat expected. Surprising, because how does a company consistently ranked at the top of innovation surveys miss good ideas? Expected, because Google now employs 20,000. With that many people, how does a company stay on top of all those ideas?

What I’m seeing is a company that is is progressively systematizing its innovation practice. Google is following the path of its large enterprise brethren, adapting its internal processes to account for its size and its need to grow across multiple fronts. It really has to. It’s no longer the small company where ideas get tossed around on a white board, and everyone knows what’s going on. I mean, there are 20,000 people employed there.

Google is getting serious about innovation.

My Notes and Thoughts on Google Wave Video Demo

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.

  • Since Wave may serve as a useful meeting place for applications, it may not replace many but become a useful platform.

Why Google Will Never Be Good At Enterprise Search | SocialComputingMagazine.com

Some people complain that enterprise search should behave more like Google search, which I vehemently disagree with, for one primary reason: enterprise search is a FUNDAMENTALLY different problem than internet search. Here are some examples:

Google Apps et Grands-comptes | Kimind

Chez Kimind nous avons accompagné pendant un an un grand compte français dans le choix et l’adoption de Google Apps pour l’ensemble de l’entreprise, soit à peu près 30.000 postes de travail. C’est une première mondiale, car ce grand-compte a choisi l’ensemble de l’offre Google Apps, aussi bien la dimension messagerie (gmail, calendar, gtalk) que la dimension collaborative (docs + sites) pour remplacer à terme Microsoft Office et Lotus Notes dans 90% de leurs usages quotidiens. Jusqu’à présent les grands-comptes qui avaient adopté Google Apps à cette échelle l’avaient fait pour l’une des deux dimensions, pas les deux ensemble.

    • les utilisateurs réclament la simplicité et la facilité dans la production et l’échange des informations avec leurs collaborateurs. Dès qu’ils ont compris que Google Docs par exemple leur offre ces deux dimensions instantanément, ils sont prêts à sacrifier quelques usages avancés des produits existants pour obtenir les bénéfices de la solution Google.
  • Au moins 90% des usages normaux quotidiens d’un employé sont couverts par les outils Google. Nous pouvons même dire que 100% des usages d’une très grande majorité d’utilisateurs sont couverts par la solution Google. Seuls ce que l’on peut appeler des “power users” auront besoin dans certains cas des fonctions avancées d’Excel ou de PowerPoint (nous mettons Word dans une autre catégorie, car il est à 99% très rapidement remplacé par la production en ligne directe en mode wiki ou doc partagé). Dans ce cas on conservera des version de MS Office pour ces gens-là et ces usages-là, ce qui réduit drastiquement les besoin de licences (une licence Google Apps coûte 10 fois moins)

Google, United Airlines, and Orson Welles - Jeff Stibel

So the difference here is really one of time: with the Internet, problems sprout up and spread quicker than ever; but solutions are still handled by us slow (but thoughtful) real people.

We live in a dangerous world these days, where "intelligent" algorithms determine for us what is real and what should be trusted. Should Google be held accountable for this? Should they fix their news algorithms so that they are forced to verify stories and information?
