RE Enterprise Innovation: yes. but carefully. so often innovation goes the way of the concept car. really cool at the Show, but the production model sort of looks like all the other models. problem is, that so much impactful innovation is lost by corporate execs either hedging, or generally softening the edges of everything new that comes along. Quite often that yields high volumes of marginal In-faux-vation. "Innovation" is a required word for Execs to speak, but almost no companies have a cultural of innovation such that True Innovation can come to light, be executed, and then leveraged. Real Innovation is very scary stuff to an Exec with alot to lose. Infauxvation has almost as much buzz value, and a fraction of the risk. Manage your Career, or Manage Innovation. Every Exec;s choice to make.

I think along with wikis and blogs as standalone tools, we are going to see our workflow tools incorporate wiki and blog features, but yet it won’t be a blog or a wiki. We will have “post it” buttons on forms that publish fragments from our workflow to other places, yet we don’t have a blog in our workflow, it’s just a form, kind of like an edge feed like publi.sh.

If you can credibly argue that a customer's increased profits will exceed the price it will pay for the software, purchasing the software should be a no brainer. Supply Chain and CRM software were sold on a similar efficiency story in the late 90's and early 2000's and, in many instances, continue to drive significant ROI for those customers who adopted them early.

One feature of these questions, posed independently by four thoughtful senior practitioners, is their remarkable consistency. All ask whether management, as it is currently practiced, has much to contribute to innovation and creativity. If the answer is little, one might ask what kinds of changes will be necessary to allow managers, particularly in larger organizations, to add value to the creative process? Or is it more productive to explore ways of providing incentives to the innovators of the world, largely outside large organizations, possibly by facilitating the market that mediates resources between investors and innovators? What do you think?

Innovation is one of the easiest and least risky areas that can be tapped by most organizations. The ongoing story of market leader Netflix and it’s now-famous Netflix Prize contest is a model of how an organization can open up and tap into ideas without interfering with production processes directly, even though the final outcome will drive operational improvements. While Dell, Innocentive, Crowdspring, and others have been doing this for years, only now are we seeing critical mass in more direct and mature examples of Web OS-driven inputs directly driving concrete, specific, and competitive outcomes.

Eric Schmidt: You need two things. You have to have somebody who enforces a deadline. In a corporation the role of a leader is often not to force the outcome, but to force execution. Literally, by having a deadline. Either by having a real crisis or creating a crisis. And a good managerial strategy is “let’s create a crisis this week to get everybody through this knot hole.”

While Microsoft’s Windows sales fell for the first time in history this year, its SharePoint sales have gone up. Microsoft declines to break out the exact sales figures for the software but said that SharePoint broke the $1 billion revenue mark last year and continued to rise past that total this year, making it the hottest selling server-side product ever for the company.

But a culture of innovation is more than new ideas. It needs to be repeatable, predictable, and sustainable. This only happens when you treat innovation like you treat all other capabilities in your business. This means having, amongst other things, a defined process.

Wave’s relevance to the enterprise might seem premature with so many of the early and current Web 2.0 applications (blogs, wikis, social networks, Twitter-style social messaging, mashups, etc.) still — often arduously — making their way into the workplace years after their inception. Though we seem to finally be hitting a tipping point with 2.0 tools at work, Wave itself seems credible enough to get on our watchlists, at least to understand the implications.

I came across a blog article entitled “SharePoint 2007: Gateway Drug to Enterprise Social Tools” which has caused me to shake my head in disbelief (and write this entry). Not necessarily for the article itself as it really wasn’t making much of a statement but rather the retelling of IT horror stories from SharePoint.

The key is closing the gap between theory and practice. Words are cheap. It's easy to wax poetic about "culture change." It's quite another thing to make it happen.

Still, the effort is worth it.

In an earlier post, I outlined some of the disadvantages of SharePoint as a document management system, from my perspective. Even with these disadvantages in place, SharePoint has quickly racked up over $1 billion in software licensing sales, and continues to track towards widespread deployment. This is both a blessing and curse for electronic document management (EDM) vendors as it both raises awareness of the need to move beyond traditional file structures while encroaching in the sales territory of the traditional EDM provider.

1. How detailed should social media guidelines be? 2. When introducing social media into the workplace, how do we address HR concerns about reduced employee productivity? 3. How do you guide employees or manage employees in navigating the gray with respect to posting content that is or is not appropriate in the work environment? 4. # What about content that falls squarely in the HR domain? What if employees use social media to publicize HR issues, or to gain "supporters" to their cause? 5. # Do we have IBM or client examples of stats, use cases or any other stories that address these concerns?

Some scholars worry that Instant Messaging (IM), by virtue of the ease with which users can initiate and participate in online conversations, contributes to an increase in task interruption. Others argue that workers use IM strategically, employing it in ways that reduce interruption. This article examines the relationship between IM and interruption, using data collected via a (U.S.) national telephone survey of full-time workers who regularly use computers (N=912). Analysis of these data indicates that IM use has no influence on overall levels of work communication. However, people who utilize IM at work report being interrupted less frequently than non-users, and they engage in more frequent computer-mediated communication than non-users, including both work-related and personal communication. These results are consistent with claims that employees use IM in ways that help them to manage interruption, such as quickly obtaining task-relevant information and negotiating conversational availability.
