Produktive Wissensarbeit: Eine Herausforderung - 0 views

  •  
    Zu den wichtigsten Zielen eines Unternehmens gehört es seit je her, die Ar-beitsproduktivität zu steigern. Gleichwohl ist die Produktivität der Wissensarbeit erst in jüngster Zeit zum Thema geworden. Vor allem der Aufsatz Peter Dru-ckers „The New Productivity Challenge" (1991) hat hier Impulse gesetzt. Seiter wird immer häufiger danach gefragt, wie nicht nur die Effizienz der manuellen Arbeit oder die von einfachen Dienstleistungstätigkeiten gesteigert werden kann, sondern auch die der komplexen geistigen Arbeit. Wachstum und Wohlstand hängen nachweislich zunehmend von der Produktivität der Wis-sensarbeit ab. Dennoch ist Effizienz ist nicht alles. Bei der Gestaltung der Wis-sensarbeit mindestens ebenso auf Nachhaltigkeit, wie auf Produktivität geach-tet werden.

LEVERAGING THE VALUE OF COMMUNICATIONS IN THE ENTERPRISE: Voice, Video and Unified Comm... - 0 views

  •  
    All three technologies are well served by the growing number of high-bandwidth IP networks being used to carry communications in the enterprise, and by the growing maturity of the SIP standard; all support the new way of doing business in the global economy; and all offer significant productivity and ROI benefits. Which raises the question: If each technology is valuable alone, wouldn't they be even better together?

Home Sweet Office: Comfort in the Workplace - Research - Herman Miller - 0 views

  • Jacqueline Vischer, professor, department of environmental design, University of Montreal, has created a model that ranks comfort into an ascending continuum of physical, functional, and psychological comfort, which roughly parallels the Kolcaba model of relief, ease, and renewal.
  • Various aspects of physical comfort, such as temperature, lighting, acoustics, and ergonomics, have been researched extensively over the years, so standards for those areas affecting health and safety are fairly well defined.
  • “There is no one temperature and humidity level at which everyone is comfortable.” *10
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Clearly, many workers would be more comfortable if they had some control over their immediate environment—if they could adjust the heat or turn on a task light, for example. But “very few buildings or workstations enable occupants to control lighting, temperature, ventilation rates, or noise conditions.
  • functional comfort, wherein the work environment becomes a tool that enables and supports individual work and collaborative teams. “There are fewer standards and practices to ensure functional comfort than there are for physical comfort,”
  • In Herman Miller’s survey of 500 workers, four out of five attributes that were consistent predictors of a “high comfort” workstation related directly to functional comfort: The capability to support space for two or more people to meet The capability to control interaction with those around me The option to place the computer in the most suitable location Having a place to store my personal items
  • While physical and functional comfort are linked to productivity, psychological comfort relates to uniquely human needs, such as the ability to control elements of one’s job, to personalize one’s space, to set boundaries, and to connect with nature or beauty. While psychological comfort is difficult to quantify, it addresses some intensely human drives.
  • Control, for example, is related to higher levels of job satisfaction and psychological comfort.
  • In the office, territoriality operates in at least two ways: in the attempt to control visual, auditory, or physical interruptions and in the nearly universal urge to personalize one’s space.
  • Interruption is perceived as an invasion of personal space, and the inability to control it produces frustration and territorial behavior, which can range from complaining about confidentiality to erecting blockades.
  • Territoriality also concerns the human need for self-expression.
  • “People who are informed about workspace-related decisions, and who participate in decisions about their own space, are more likely to feel territorial about their workspace and to have feelings of belonging and ownership.” *22
  • the effect of beauty—the aesthetic element of a work environment—may be the most unquantifiable contributor to psychological comfort in the workplace.
  • The beneficial effect of natural light on health is so compelling that European Union directives on workplace health and safety state that “workplaces must as far as possible receive sufficient natural light...”
  • A growing body of research shows that building environments that connect people to nature are more supportive of human emotional well- being and cognitive performance than environments lacking these features,” writes Heerwagen.

Entwicklung von Mobile Unified - 0 views

  •  
    Moderne Unternehmen entwickeln sich heute immer mehr zu einem eher global orientierten Anywhere EnterpriseTM. Ein entscheidender Auslöser dieser Entwicklung war und ist Enterprise Mobility. Enterprise Mobility bedeutete bisher, die Bindung eines Mitarbeiters an einen festen Arbeitsplatz aufzuheben. Dies ist zwar ein wichtiger, aber nur der erste Schritt hin zur Schaffung eines echten Anywhere Enterprise

    Abstract: Im folgenden Artikel wird anhand eines Fallbeispiels im Bankensektor der Einsatz eines Wissensproduktivität-Benchmark-Werkzeuges vorgestellt. Mitglieder einer Organisation bewerten mit einem Online-Befragungs-Tool die Produktivität Ihrer Wissensarbeit in den Ebenen „Information, Kommunikation und Wissen" und erhalten damit erstens (1) eine Standortbestimmung für die Qualität ihrer eigenen Wissensarbeit und (2) zweitens die Möglichkeit die Produktivität der eigenen Wissensarbeit mit derjenigen von anderen Organisationseinheiten innerhalb der Branche „Finanzdienstleister" zu vergleichen.

  • After making these investments, the bank reported that it was on track to double the number of daily branchwide sales calls, improve its conversion rates, and significantly raise productivity. Uniform sales procedures, applied throughout the system, were expected to yield further efficiencies.
  • The bank had relied heavily on manual, paper-based processes to identify and distribute leads, customize offers, and close deals. There were islands of automation at points throughout the sales process but no end-to-end view of its workings or how technology could improve them.
