Collaboration is not a remedy, it is an outcome | The Xpragmatic View - 0 views

  •  
    "In this on-going collaboration debate, too many people view collaboration as a solution to a problem. It is not. Collaboration is the behaviour that emerges in contexts that invite for collaboration."

Collaboration Is A Heuristic That May Work … Or Not - Rawn Shah - Connected B... - 1 views

  •  
    After 15+ years of deploying more and more tools, we need to ask ourselves - why haven't organizations realized the level of breakthrough collaboration necessary for them to excel - or in some cases, survive? It's not that the industry has not had any "wins" with collaboration strategies but success always seems to be stubbornly limited to certain groups or business units. Improving collaboration, it seems, has become an "intractable opportunity.

When Internal Collaboration Is Bad for Your Company - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 11 May 10 - Cached
  •  
    Internal collaboration is almost universally viewed as good for an organization. Leaders routinely challenge employees to tear down silos, transcend boundaries, and work together in cross-unit teams. And although such initiatives often meet with resistance because they place an extra burden on individuals, the potential benefits of collaboration are significant: innovative cross-unit product development, increased sales through cross-selling, the transfer of best practices that reduce costs.

The Big Failure of Enterprise 2.0 Social Business | Beyond the Cube - 0 views

  •  
    "This isn't a "shock & awe" title to merely draw you in. This also isn't a blanket claim from an "expert" who has never been in the trenches that "social business is dead". Enterprise 2.0 (aka social business) is not dead. Significant progress continues to be made. More and more enterprises have social business strategies and efforts for both marketing & internal collaboration. However, enterprises with several years of Enterprise 2.0 efforts under their belt have failed to reach the tipping point and cross into mainstream adoption of social collaboration . Coincidentally, Dion Hinchcliffe recently noted in The Path to Co-Creating a Social Business, the existence of the fissure with older collaborative channels on one side and the option to voluntarily engage socially on the other. I believe this is a sign post that we must pay attention to and make adjustments or social business could fall deeply into the rabbit hole where knowledge management (KM) efforts of past, already reside.

The future of work - Collaboration spaces | The Xpragmatic View - 0 views

  •  
    In the social enterprise debate, we always talk about collaboration, about connecting individuals. However, connecting more people as such should not be an objective. The thing that really matters is connecting the right people, which implies disconnecting from the wrong ones.

The future of work - Do we really want excellence? | The Xpragmatic View - 0 views

The future of work - The Chief Disconnection Officer | The Xpragmatic View - 0 views

  •  
    Collaboration is the mantra of the Enterprise 2.0 movement, but organisational boundaries complicate adoption and progress. Therefore, we need someone who takes a holistic view of what is needed to get employees to work across silos. Good idea?

Organisations and ecosystems - The Xpragmatic View - 0 views

  •  
    Recent evolutions in our understanding of physics and biology indicate that our environment, including ourselves, is the result of a far-reaching process of interaction and complementarity. Apparently, something makes that matter and organisms -automatically- collaborate growing to larger and more complex entities. Is there a place for business in the universe?

Meaning Is the New Money - Tammy Erickson - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  •  
    Over the last year, I've been doing a lot of research on how organizations will need to evolve to meet the demands of the 21st century. The central premise of this work is that new technologies, most of which have appeared only within the last decade, greatly amplify our abilities to interact simultaneously with large numbers of people. The frontier of human productive capacity today is the power of extended collaboration - the ability to work together beyond the scope of small groups.

    Gartner research analysts recently convened to discuss the changing nature of work and table some predictions for the coming decade.

The new market reality - 0 views

  •  
    Over the past years, better and more cost effective communication capabilities have been the main drivers for evolutions such as internationalisation, globalisation and outsourcing. Indeed, this improved communication capability has been an enabler for various new and more complex forms of collaboration. At the same time, organisational structures are growing thinner. Is there still room for the traditional company?

Do Tank and the Democracy Design Workshop - 0 views

  •  
    The goal of the Virtual Company Project is to build online tools to help groups create and implement governance rules necessary for successful collaboration. The project is premised on the belief that the right graphical interfaces can translate the structures of the group into clear and intelligible procedures that will enable teams to make decisions, control assets and enter into contractual relationships with third parties. The Virtual Company project is creating the interfaces and designing the back-end functionality that is needed to enable group participants to see themselves in relation to the group as a whole, allocate roles, establish accountability to the group, make collective decisions, and administer group assets, expenditures and distributions.
