"In today’s increasingly dynamic business environment, organizations must continuously adapt to survive. Ironically, change management has become a major bottleneck. Inefficient offline reviews are disconnected from daily operations and unresponsive to evolving requirements. Organizations’ need a practical mechanism for managing controlled variance and change in-flight to break the logjam."

The more flexible an organization’s systems infrastructure, the better it can support desired or necessary change
The last forty years of mainstream business computing brought tremendous efficiencies through standardization, but this was predicated on relatively static models of processes, data, and capabilities.

- The modern systems infrastructure simply wasn’t designed to adapt.
- Ironically, change management programs have become the chokepoint for Enterprise Agility, an inefficient rate-limiter.
- This suggests a flexible collaboration layer that enables dynamic interoperability between people and data, capabilities and policies
- Organizations must find ways to efficiently satisfy individual requirements [4]. This represents a phase change from the age of standardization to the age of specialization
- The Enterprise needs a new form of Collaboration Architecture to engage people [6] with the latitude to improvise, while providing for transparency, governance and audit
- Following a linear process regardless of circumstances is nonsensical. We can’t anticipate all scenarios; an unrelated chain of events can impact best laid plans.
- Rather than focusing on standard procedures, people need the authority to flexibly meet corporate objectives. People need to be able to respond to the environment, to adjust plans to keep goals in sight.
- he standardization of business processes removed human discretion, problem solving, and innovation.
- Social needs to be integrated into process itself, it has to be able to direct the flow otherwise it is simply chatter that is ultimately still dependant on conventional change management schemes. Processes need to become 2-way conversations.
- Enterprise Social Collaboration is not about liberation, it’s about optimizing work
- In combination the two provide for an integrated feedback loop [11] where the system both responds in context and enables process participants, based on authority, to 'negotiate' system requirements for their circumstances. This new form of 'integrated' collaboration supports real-time alignment of all stakeholders around business goals.
- While the Web introduced the notion of self-directed navigation of linked content, popular social sites facilitate distributed collaboration, and consumer apps have introduced the notion of context-awareness, there hasn’t been a unified approach to Information System Agility.
- it is necessary to re-think information systems architecture. Using same old methods and expecting different results is what Einstein called the definition of insanity
- We need software architecture to support a looser form of application design that is not just modular, but can be contextualized and adaptive.

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?

Ten Tips From The Enterprise 2.0 Conference | Forrester Blogs

"Despite all the new technology, the shared wisdom from the deployment perspective seemed to distill down to learning how to manage the human side of Enterprise 2.0. Distilling down three days of insight isn’t easy, so I thought I’d share my top 10 tips from the conference no particular order:"

. Doing work in less time is key to success but people have a limited capacity for change, so make small changes and give them time to adapt.
Add “social” as a layer in Enterprise Architecture to avoid mushrooming application silos.

- Start today to re-think how to re-engineer your business process around social collaboration. The real advantages will accrue to those companies that figure out how to tie social collaboration (and associated technologies) into the design of their business process and core supporting applications
