Most closures, however -- even those that do not end in bankruptcy -- are the result of unforeseen circumstances. It seems that Murphy's Law affects entrepreneurs disproportionately. Often, these disasters could have been avoided if company management had paid more heed to the principles of risk management.

This increasing distance between these two worlds creates a gap — a disconnect, even — that increasingly cuts organizations off from their most valuable assets (their people) and also exerts a subversive force on organizations as their workers help themselves to the tools of their own volition, bring their (and arguably better) new behaviors and processes to work, and try to get things done with them, whether that’s crowdsourcing, Enterprise 2.0, online customer communities, etc.

All of these engagements enabled me to learn the different nuances of each market and the current status of the markets use of social technology. In each case the fundamentals of engaging and listening to the market of conversations remained the same. The engagements were centric to helping the organization build an effective strategy and related tactics. In each case the one critical element that would determine the success of the proposed plan was the effective execution of the plan.

Will Management Buy Into The Plan?

In management, the ultimate measure of performance is the metric of management effectiveness which includes execution, or how well management’s plans are carried out by members of the organization. Execution is not a singular or silo process rather it encompasses the following attributes:

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.

Sunghwa Moon asked in his recent comment on this blog about what would be a ‘consulting methodology’ for HR 2.0. This is what I use, although I’d describe it as a process rather than a methodology, as I’d only ever use it as a guide and would be unlikely to ever follow this exact flow. And I’d see it as something that an organisation can use itself, rather than needing a consultant to support (albeit I believe that the right consultant would be extremely useful in advising and supporting on this).

Instead of strategy as Big Bang, what about strategy as Habit? ALL organizations require strategic thinking to succeed, but few organizations actually face the dramatic moment -- ever, or certainly very often. If that is true, then the sweet spot for strategy is something more routine, more "everyman", more evolutionary, more of a living process. Strategy as Habit has 2 components, in keeping with the 2 primary definitions of the word "habit": (1) a regular practice and (2) a long, loose garment worn by a member of a religious order. (In case you've forgotten that second definition: picture here). Strategic thinking is a recurrent, involuntary action. Our strategy is both a content statement and a style statement, both of which define and identify our team. Strategy is participative. Strategy has structure without being overly constrictive.

There is nothing like a crisis to clarify the mind. In suddenly volatile and different times, you must have a strategy. I don’t mean most of the things people call strategy—mission statements, audacious goals, three- to five-year budget plans. I mean a real strategy.

For many managers, the word has become a verbal tic. Business lingo has transformed marketing into marketing strategy, data processing into IT strategy, acquisitions into growth strategy. Cut prices and you have a low-price strategy. Equating strategy with success, audacity, or ambition creates still more confusion. A lot of people label anything that bears the CEO’s signature as strategic—a definition based on the decider’s pay grade, not the decision.

This life-cycle is the stages in which I have seen organizations, communities, and businesses adapt to the changing and available technologies that help their organization grow and thrive. This may ring a little familiar to those who are familiar with the Software Development Life-cycle (SDLC), the long, costly, and project creep way of doing business. In this approach, we do not wish to reinvent the wheel. We firmly believe that there are many excellent open-source solutions that are ideal for business collaboration, communication, networking, and transparency.

First, the good news from a new study from Hewitt Associates and the Human Capital Institute: Most companies now have a talent-management strategy in place.

The bad news? Very few of those companies are executing that strategy successfully.

Je suis souvent interpellé sur le thème : "Que font les meilleures entreprises en matière de ...", et on y va de la discussion sur ce qu'on appelle "les meilleures pratiques" (on dit aussi "best practices" car il est chic d'utiliser des expressions anglo-saxonnes dans ces cercles).

Il en résulte une frénésie, dans ces entreprises, à se copier les unes les autres, avec l'angoisse qu'une autre entreprise pourrait savoir des choses que l'on ne sait pas soi-même, comme un secret alchimique. Bien sûr, les consultants prospèrent sur ces angoisses; surtout quand on s'aperçoit qu'il n'existe aucun secret, finalement.

Let’s be realistic, Enterprise 2.0 seen as the sole center of the management revolution is a fallacy, the revolution happening to the enterprise is much more interesting than just the part of it related to web 2.0 elements even if I am one of those pretending that a good implementation of collaborative elements within the organization can bring a competitive advantage.

La réalité, c'est que la crise n'est que l'écume des choses qui vient révéler l'immobilisme face à la nécessité de prendre acte que le monde change. Et le fait est que le monde change vite et va changer encore plus vite car, justement, les crises ont cette faculté de faire bouger, de révéler que le train est déjà parti du quai, en fait.

Mais affronter l'incertitude n'est pas qu'une conclusion au présent, c'est aussi une des dure leçon de la partie vraie de la crise. Si celle-ci s'est produite, c'est notamment parce que personne n'a réagit aux signes annonceurs. Pourquoi ? non pas qu'il n'y a eu aucun signe annonceur, simplement que ceux-ci n'étaient pas dans le tableau de bord ou que le signal qui y apparaissait n'était pas identifié.
