  • We created many iterations with absolutely no room for error and no slack time at all. CM in this case focused on the short project needs because the risk of our competition beating us was far greater than the risk of failing to take a longer term "product" view. In the end - we beat our competition to the market.
  • There were a number of times in which we discovered that the fix did not work as expected and we saved valuable time by rejecting the release earlier in the process. I had effectively partnered with the business representative and started getting a decidedly stronger "product" view while still helping us to meet our project deadlines.
  • You need to be well aware of both views and make the right choices from a business perspective.

workforce predictions future socialnetworking

  • 1. There will be an increased focus on infrastructures—such as social networks and wikis—to support building strong relationships and collaboration.
  • 2. The structure of work will become more adaptive, more informal and less focused on formal structure and static design solutions.
  • 3. (tie) "Agile" organizations will have survived rampant aggregation and consolidation, and all organizations will be developing greater agility.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • There will be greater demands on HR professionals to be businesspeople, with competencies in finding and retaining talent and in managing contract and freelance workers.
  • Organizations will have the ability to personalize the employee value proposition, helping employees find value in the work they do based on how they interact with the company. Some employees will be full time and long term. Others will be short term and part time.
  • using networks such as LinkedIn to establish trust and research people’s backgrounds—will increase workplace flexibility
  • 4. (tie) Companies will find their best people anywhere in the world, so successful workers will be willing to work outside their home country.
  • The concept of offshoring will cease to exist. Talent will exist globally and companies will go where the talent is.
  • 8. The hunt for inexpensive labor will continue, but the evolution of economies from low cost to high value will be quicker, and increasingly, a low-cost labor strategy will be more difficult to sustain.
  • 2. Millennials will redefine work, doing work at home and taking home to work. This means blurring the boundaries of life and work. More workforce mobility will allow people to work from home and at different hours.
  • 4. As the generation born around 1980 takes its place leading major global organizations, the formative events in those workers’ lives—such as aging parents, the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and the 2008 financial crisis—will lead to greater C-suite emphasis on corporate social and environmental responsibility.
  • 6. There will be a significant problem of retirement in the West. With people living longer and fewer people in the workforce, retirement will have to be redefined.
  • 8. For nations such as India, where a large number of young employees are entering the workforce, there will need to be a major shift to address their needs and concerns.
  • Talented people, willing to work very hard, will flourish in most organizational settings.
  • 1. Recruitment and development will increasingly be seen as part of an integrated workforce-supply optimization process. Both will become virtual, global and just-in-time, but they will also be transformed through an increasing emphasis on optimization, differentiation and return on investment.
  • 2. There will be a continued and increased demand for top talent. The gap between the best and the rest will be greater. There will be more demand for creativity, innovation and thought leadership.
  • 3. Employers will compete as intensively for workers as they do for customers. Branding an organization as a place for workers will be as important as branding for consumers.
  • 4. Firms will become adept at sourcing and engaging transient talent around short-term needs, and will focus considerable energy on the long-term retention of smaller core talent groups.
  • Training and development may be tied to some contractual time commitment on the part of the worker.
  • 7. (tie) More focus will be placed on searching for people who match companies, not just people who have the skills that companies need.
  • 2. HR issues will be measured much more as part of the business plan.
  • 3. Talent management will become the prime focus of HR.
  • 5. (tie) A "decision science" approach will be the foundation of human resources. HR will view talent in a supply-chain fashion and help the business understand workforce trends to make sound decisions.

    Workforce HR predictions on the new structure of work at organizations. Changes will also be influenced by society and the role of the organizations will be to become more agile.

      This is a key issue for every business to succed.
  • And then the third thing is, we're willing to be long-term-oriented, which I think is one of the rarest characteristics.
  • they can take an inventory of their skills and competencies, and then they can say, "OK, with this set of skills and competencies, what else can we do?"
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • It is to say, rather than ask what are we good at and what else can we do with that skill, you ask, who are our customers? What do they need? And then you say we're going to give that to them regardless of whether we currently have the skills to do so, and we will learn those skills no matter how long it takes.
  • But the physical book really has had a 500-year run. It's probably the most successful technology ever. It's hard to come up with things that have had a longer run. If Gutenberg were alive today, he would recognize the physical book and know how to operate it immediately. Given how much change there has been everywhere else, what's remarkable is how stable the book has been for so long. But no technology, not even one as elegant as the book, lasts forever.
  • For people who are readers, reading is important to them. And you don't want to read for three hours on a backlit LCD screen. It's great for short form. This is a really important point—that we humans co-evolve with our tools. We change the tools, and the tools change us, and that cycle repeats.

  • There, search remains in the same brute-force dark ages as web search before Google. We can expect significant breakthroughs in search techniques for books, video, images, and sound to be a feature of the future evolution of the Internet OS.
  • and the platform provider that has the most robust systems (and consumer expectations) for paid content is going to be in a very strong position.
  • What's fascinating is the rich developer ecosystem they've built around payment - their recent developer conference had over 2000 attendees. Their challenge is to make the transition from the web to mobile.

  • . We can expect a similar wave of companies instrumenting social media and mobile applications,
  • manage the lookup service that allows individuals and businesses to find and connect to each other? The phone and email address books will eventually merge with the data from social networks to provide a rich set of identity infrastructure services
  • Building a social network to rival Facebook or Twitter is far less important to the future of the Internet platform than creating facilities that will allow third-party developers to leverage the social data that companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, AOL - and phone companies like ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile - have produced through years or even decades of managing user's social data for communications.
  • Whoever cracks this code, providing frameworks that make it possible for applications to be functionally social without being socially promiscuous, will win
  • Don't assume that advertising will continue to be the only significant way to monetize internet content in the years ahead
  • The question is the extent to which platform companies will use their advertising capabilities as a system service. Will they treat these assets as the source of competitive advantage for their own products, or will they find ways to deploy advertising as a business model for developers on their platform?
  • Location is the Internet data subsystem that is furthest along in its development as a system service accessible to all applications
  • We thus see convergence between Location and social media concepts like Activity Streams. Platform providers that understand and exploit this intersection will be in a stronger position than those who see location only in traditional terms.
  • This need for speed is going to be a major driver of platform services; individual applications will have difficulty keeping up.
  • Picasa and Flickr are no longer just consumer image sharing sites: they are vast repositories of tagged image data that can be used to train algorithms and filter results.
  • This idea of Government as a Platform is a key focus of my advocacy about Government 2.0.

  • 2. Relevance. The company must continue to innovate its solutions to the problems it solves to make the market continue to want them
  • Creating a company structure that is flexible enough to adapt with the environment is essential to longevity.
  • 4. Respect. For the industry, for its competitors, for its employees and for its customers.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • If you want your customers to be satisfied, first satisfy your employees.
  • The best company on the other hand, sets its own agenda, its own goals and its own milestones to march to. March to your own metrics and be the best at what you do. Don’t compare yourself to others and be second-best.
  • 8. Be willing to apologise.
  • Mark Zuckerberg knew the new Facebook was for the best, and in time, his customers came to realise that too.
  • 10. Persistence. It’s so easy to give up all the time. Every moment, it’s easier to just throw in the towel and say, “this is too hard, I don’t want to do this anymore” rather than stand your ground and say, “this is hard as hell, but what the heck, I’m here now - I’m going to keep giving it a shot”. That takes guts. Standing in the face of every adversity that comes your way and making your way through it, proud of all your actions, and then, whatever the outcomes, being willing to toil on - that’s what it takes.

  • Ahora, hay tambien un atajo que merece ser evaluado y consiste en aceptar nuestro problema y convertirlo en el punto de partida para construir una gran beneficio diferencial.
  • Si esa desventaja que tiene nuestro producto esta bien instalada en la cabeza de los consumidores, hay algo de positivo en ello.  Nos tienen presentes y nos diferencian claramente por este mismo “problema”.  El reto está en encontrar la relación entre la desventaja y el efecto positivo que ésta podría tener en nuestras vidas.
  • A veces uno se desespera tratando de borrar una percepción negativa, cuando quizás la solución esta justamente en aprovechar el problema, y lo mejor de todo es que nadie se lo espera.

  • he SEI's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), which was founded years ago and is currently the de facto standard, is no longer enough to properly evaluate software development capabilities and differentiate vendors.
  • Asserting that current methods for evaluating the capabilities of software vendors have become passe, the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and the Object Management Group (OMG) announced a partnership to sponsor the Consortium of IT Software Quality (CISQ), an industry-led initiative to address the measurement of critical IT application quality attributes.
  • “CISQ will enable us to benchmark the effectiveness of internal development, evaluate the quality of applications acquired from external sources, and predict the quality and cost of IT services to the business.”
