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

    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.

McKinsey is saying that workflow + participatory technologies is a key enhancer for the company.
