"Here's a very serious question: Are the tools your company's employees use to do their job more or less motivating to that end than the apps, games, and social services they use to do something other than their job? Put another way, does the software your people use for play improve the quality of their work, more than the software they use for work?"

"I put on my curmudgeon hat and had another look at Social. I voiced my concerns about Social Business, its challenges, its extremely high dependence on people for data quality and business information, as well its cannibalisation of your current business offerings.
Now, it’s time to voice my concerns about Social Enterprise. And well about time, after this long introduction…"

Most people manage themselves with great success: they manage to get out of bed in the morning, they manage to get dressed, they manage to get to the office on time.

Then, at the office, they meet the "manager" that will manage them until end of the day. That's at best a paradox, at worst a devastating error.


But is it at all possible to do without managers? Let's check reality:

"« En France, “la débrouille”, le fait de “faire avec” sont encore considérés comme des moments ponctuels, des accidents de parcours, qui, s’ils se répètent, risquent de mettre en péril la rigueur et la lisibilité du système. » Cette notion fait pourtant référence à des compétences fondamentalement positives dans les pays anglo-saxons, dans des domaines aussi variés que l’innovation, l’entrepreneuriat, des systèmes d’information… Le manager bricoleur est donc un profil précieux pour une entreprise,"

"I see gamification, dashboards and search as signs of enterprise failure!

There I said it, humbly.

They all signify a lack of process frameworks that can run the processes. And just to clarify, industrial processes are not the only processes, all we do is a process as in "steps of activities with a goal", and that should cover all that we do in organisations, in business, in enterprises. And for a process to happen, for flows to flow, one needs a framework, structured, flexible or manual. Just like water requires a riverbed or a pipeline. But if the framework is manual (bucket passing anyone? Monday morning meetings, budgets and reporting anyone?) then the creative value-creation work will suffer."

"Pods – also known as self-directed work teams – have been around for more than 20 years. Pods are 30% to 50% more effective than their traditional counterparts. A survey of senior line managers offers some of the benefits derived from implementing self-directed teams:

Improved quality, productivity and service.
Greater flexibility.
Reduced operating costs.
Faster response to technological change.
Fewer, simpler job classifications.
Better response to workers’ values.
Increased employee commitment to the organization.
Ability to attract and retain the best people."

"People who are engaged in profit-orientated businesses are, for the most part, employed to perform specific types of tasks. Whether the task is on a production line or producing invoices, people develop a set of skills and sell those skills to an employer. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that the employees of a company are focused on what they are compensated to produce."

"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"

"Solid advice for any type of social software is that the greater the transparency, the greater the benefit. This means a bias toward making information available to all, not a few. It also means associating contributions to specific individuals. Visibility of contributors gives context, improves the quality of discussions and makes it easier to find individuals with ideas and knowledge on specific subjects.

But there are occasions when it makes sense to allow individuals to contribute ideas without revealing their identity, which Spigit's platform does allow. In these cases, the ideas and related information are visible to anyone who has eligibility to see them. However, participants in the innovation community won't know who submitted the ideas. There are two reasons companies would enable anonymous posting:

1. Employees are concerned about retribution for their ideas
2. Employee identity may influence the feedback others provide"
