"In my last article, I talked about the Community Manager job title and how it can mean a lot of different things to different people. I’d like to continue that discussion today by reflecting on another trend that I have noticed.

I am hearing about companies that have training programs for community managers – and many of them. They hire people, put them through a training program and, bam, you have a community manager. This seems to be in contrast to how many other management type positions are handled."

"I’m beginning to wonder what function middle managers and line managers perform these days. Can these functions be replaced entirely by new Enterprise 2.0 roles and systems? Is something going to fall between the cracks in a rush to remove these roles? Is the traditional Middle Manager heading towards obsolescence? "

"Pourtant, à regarder ce qui se passe parfois sur le terrain, il y a de quoi rester perplexe. En premier lieu, que l'animateur de communauté soit un collaborateur de l'entreprise, et dans une majorité de cas un opérationnel, tombe relativement sous le sens. Le problème vient plutôt lorsque cette mission d'animation a tendance à se surajouter à son job métier.

Animer la communauté peut alors très vite devenir un fardeau. Et la belle initiative collaborative, qui devait favoriser intelligence collective, innovation, apprentissage et tout ce que l'on voudra, ne favorise plus rien, si ce n'est du stress et du mal-être. Voire un désengagement. Le comble pour une démarche censée justement renforcer l'engagement, replacer l'humain au cœur du système."

"Because I think no one really knows what a large-scale transition to social computing and collaboration as core work activities really means for today’s (and tomorrow’s) human resources professionals and the management processes and practices they design, implement, coach and manage.

I say that with full knowledge that the last two decades have seen a lot of talk and activity aimed at ‘modernizing’ human resources management practices. There have been regular clarion calls for major change, and waves of interest and activity aimed at transforming HR professionals to become (for example):

* business partners with line management
* proactive change agents
* coaches to managers and professionals
* enablers of change, as opposed to (more traditional) gatekeeper roles"

“We like to think that people in our [firm] are more than their job title describes, we all have many talents, and we all have many needs to draw on each others talent. This is what we call ’social productivity.”

There are four V’s that should be kept in focus as Enterprise 2.0 becomes more of a reality in 2009, according to Mike Gotta:

1. the volume of information is growing exponentially,
2. the velocity of business is increasing,
3. the virtualization of the workplace continues
4. the variability of roles an employee may be expected to take on will become more diverse
