Six ways to make Web 2.0 work - The McKinsey Quarterly - Six ways Web 2.0 work - Busine... - 0 views

  •  
    Excellent article from McKinsey about how web 2.0 tools can improve productivity and efficiency in the company. They are also very well explaining difference between participation and collaboration, which we are ourselves explaining it for many years. It's good to see this difference recognized. The different categories are very well explained also. But one of the key point of this article in the introduction of workflow tecnologies in this area. McKinsey is saying that workflow + participatory technologies is a key enhancer for the company. We agree of course with this, first because companies need both world, and second because providing automation and participation capabilities to the information system is the best way to improve it drastically.

Using Web 2.0 to reinvent your business for the economic downturn | Enterprise Web 2.0 ... - 0 views

    How web 2.0 usages can facilitate business in this downturn period. I agree, this is very important, because using web 2.0 technologies, it is possible at the same time to decrease financial investments (essential currently), and increase individual and collective productivity and efficiency. I don't know why top managers are not understanding this in our countries.

CIOs Ignore Collaboration Tools Too Much, CEB Says - Global-cio - - 0 views

  • Although austerity drives have led to a focus on process automation, this isn't producing the scale of improvements needed in employee productivity,
  • Any organization spending less than this is seriously lagging, whilst those pushing hardest for improvements are allocating two-thirds of all IT spending to the tools that are really capable of transforming the way users work.
  • One of the biggest surprises in our latest research is the growing impact of collaboration on productivity,
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • People know that work is becoming more collaborative, but the surprise is that 50% of successful performance now depends on this -- where 10 years ago 80% of the outcome of any task would have been down to the individual. It is the magnitude of the shift that we didn't expect.
  • Things change so quickly now that organizations really need to be reviewing their plans quarterly, and ensuring they can adapt them if priorities have altered.
  • their lack of visibility on what IT users need to do their jobs effectively
  • Who in IT really understands the end users and how they get work done?' there was often an uncomfortable silence
  • It may require the involvement of HR and other disciplines -- in the form of cross-functional support -- as users learn to work more collaboratively, sharing knowledge and ideas more readily, and replicating best practices.
  • Some of this may be hosted in the cloud; also users will be able to find their own apps, which will simply plug in to the company infrastructure. IT will own the integration and the security, but will be much less focused on the interface to users,
  • executives are demanding 20% more productivity from their employees, yet that 55% of workers feel unable to handle the stress of their jobs for much longer
  • More than any other department, IT has a crucial part to play in helping businesses meet this demand, CEB said.

Workers' Own Cellphones and iPads Find a Role at the Office - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    Evident : 1) avec les données et les applications dans le cloud, on peut laisser les gens s'équiper de n'importe quel matériel 2) les salariés devenant mobiles, ils n'auront en général qu'un seul portable perso+pro. Donc il vaut mieux que ce soit leur propre portable et pas le portable de la boîte. D'où le fait que la boîte les dédomage de l'usage pro.

  •  
    The battle continue, and Google is more and more present face to Microsoft Office. And Office 2010 is not the answer, too complicated, hybrid mode, too rich, etc... Face to Google simplicity and efficiency, they should loose a huge market share.
