Social Collaboration?

"Theres a new term doing the rounds in the IT vendor market - social collaboration. Nobody gave me an exact meaning to that, either the IT vendors or the sociologists / anthropologists / sociobiologists"

Collaboration is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together in an intersection of common goals — for example, an intellectual endeavor that is creative in nature—by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus.
The role power in a matrix organization is vastly diminished. Expertise power helps to a certain extent, but then in high performance/stakes teams everybody is going to be an expert of something or the other. The only other power left is relationship power. One negotiates using the relationship power to get things done. Reciprocity is a bigger coin than orders. No more command and control.

- Hence, to my mind the phrase 'social collaboration' seems to be resplendent with redundant words, redolently demonstrated by this very statement. Also, a 'social collaboration' means there is an asocial collaboration, and perhaps an eusocial collaboration too?
- Given this logic, what does 'social collaboration' mean? Where people collaborate outside of the contractual obligations? Which means outside of the role structures & job descriptions in the organization? Typical of a matrix organization, no?

The first type is the professional multiarchy in which different professional groups have parallel hierarchies with little or no connection at the top of the organization.
The second type of multiarchy is the matrix, which is present to some degree in most businesses. The matrix is a crisscross of business units and functions (portrayed as verticals and horizontals).

- The third type of multiarchy is the temporary project team. In these situations people are "loaned" from their home organization and report to a project manager for a period of time

Quel(e) DRH 2.0 êtes vous / avez vous ?

"Un peu pour le fun mais pas seulement cette petite matrice de positionnement (j’en ai d’autres en magasin…). Chaque projet RH 2.0 a son contexte et l’influence du DRH est majeure. Il conviendra de prendre en compte sa “position” pour adapter sur le fond et la forme son ambition et surtout son approche."

The Social Software Value Matrix

I think of Enterprise 2.0 adoption as a journey through a succession of benefits. I've illustrated them in what I call the "Social Software Value Matrix." The first step in the journey is pure operational improvement. You're not really changing the way you do business, just enhancing existing interactions within existing silos. Over time, the tools lead employees to interact in new ways, across silos. This creates cultural change as the company reinvents the way the different pieces of the business interact to create value. Finally, and most dramatically, companies can create new interactions with customers and channel partners. That's business model transformation, and it only happens when your business is ready for it.

As the CEO of a marketing agency put it to me, "How can we collaborate with our customers when we can't collaborate with each other?"
The best place for your employees to learn professional social media is inside the company.

- Once your employees get used to using social software inside the company, it's easy and natural for them to expand their interactions to include customers, channel partners, and even the general public.
