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.

Lessons from Google Wave failure | ZDNet - 0 views

  • I’m not calling for wholesale changes here. But before announcing any project to the world the company needs to know it’s putting its global reputation on the line. Such announcements are news, a big Biden deal. Until you know what a project is about, or until you really need to tell people, keep it to yourself. It’s less embarrassing.
  •  
    About the business model of services like Google Wave, and why Google should be more careful before to launch products or before to kill them! Because even if the product has not a great success, the impact could be important.

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. I know that this is not easy to change people behavior, but this is because most of the companies are very late in this change. If they had started the evolution few years ago...

Apple iPad: Breaking through in the enterprise | ZDNet - 0 views

  • Jeremy emphatically disagreed, saying the first million sales were likely to tech geeks but the next wave of sales after that were to others. At the time, neither he or I had many ideas about who those “others” might be, but we were both interested to see how things would shake out when more information surfaced about who was buying iPads. On Wednesday, we learned where a chunk of those sales are coming from: Large corporations.
  • This iPad thing has taken the world by storm. It came in as a consumer product and very quickly the people who actually bought them were business people.
  • Wells Fargo noted that it took two years to get the iPhone accepted, but only a few weeks to bring in the iPad
  •  
    A new category of usages is rising for the enterprise. This will help for more mobility and more collaboration, because ipad will work connected and will be helpful with cloud based applications. I think this is very good for enterprise 2.0 adoption, if services will be adapted to the interface.

Web 2.0 : les entreprises n'adoptent pas les outils de collaboration - 0 views

  •  
    Malgré leur succès incontesté dans le domaine grand public, les outils de collaboration en ligne du web 2.0 peinent à s'imposer en entreprise. C'est ce que révèle une récente étude du cabinet d'analyse Forrester. Quelques chiffres : 68 % des employés utilisent toujours email & téléphone pour collaborer (!). Ils sont de plus en plus souvent secondés par la messagerie instantanée (15% des employés) et la web conférence (13 %) (seulement !). Les réseaux sociaux ne sont utilisés que par 8 % des employés, les blogs par 5 % des collaborateurs et les wiki par 4 %. MAIS Les outils de bureautique en ligne (Google Apps, Windows Live, etc.) semblent en revanche décoller puisque 16 % des employés y auraient désormais recourt. La transformation des usages vers les nouveaux outils de productivité bureautique est bien en route :)
