    "Is Your Brand Ready for Unleashed Workers? by Marc Stoiber  |  keywords: articles, Computers/Electronics/Technology, Business Model Innovation, Employee Engagement, Environmental/Social Issues, Impact Reduction, Org Culture and Processes, Transportation/Logistics Tweet   Video conferencing, courtesy of GoToMeeting. | Image credit: Citrix October 1, 2012- A key element of futureproof brands is the ability to predict the needs of rapidly evolving consumers. This is easier said than done. In hindsight, Facebook makes sense. But few could've predicted the rise of a generation willing to share every intimate detail online. Telecommuting is a similarly cagey concept. For years, we've been trumpeting it as progress toward less pollution and time waste, and greater sustainability. But there's still little indication what this new world of stay-away workers will actually look like, what working anywhere actually means, and how brands will have to adapt to serve this new group. My interest in this area was sparked by a conversation with Kim DeCarlis, VP of Corporate Marketing at Citrix (the folks pushing the virtualization envelope with offerings such as GoTo Meeting). Although DeCarlis agrees it's early days, she believes there are indicators of what brands serving future telecommuters should think about. Hyper Personal Standardization in electronics is still de rigueur in most offices. As DeCarlis says, "Permutation and new gear is anathema to IT departments. Trying to make an office work - and people share information - when everyone has their own platform is an exercise in futility." Virtualization and the Cloud have changed the need for standardization. "I have a computer, tablet and phone that I bought for myself," says DeCarlis. "With virtualized functions like data, applications and desktops delivered via the cloud, my personal gear is 100% usable at work." So what does this mean for the unleashed workers of tomorrow

  • In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration. Collaboration happens around some kind of plan or structure, while cooperation presumes the freedom of individuals to join and participate. Cooperation is a driver of creativity. Stephen Downes commented here on the differences:collaboration means ‘working together’. That’s why you see it in market economies. markets are based on quantity and mass.cooperation means ’sharing’. That’s why you see it in networks. In networks, the nature of the connection is important; it is not simply about quantity and mass …You and I are in a network – but we do not collaborate (we do not align ourselves to the same goal, subscribe to the same vision statement, etc), we *cooperate*We are only beginning to realize how we can use networks as our primary form of living and working
  • form in itself that can address issues that the three other forms could not.

  • implementing social business (a network mode) within corporations (institutional + market modes). Real network models are new modes, not modifications of the old ones, and cooperation is how work gets done.
  • Wirearchy: a dynamic multi-way flow of power and authority based on information, knowledge, trust and credibility, enabled by interconnected people and technology.Heterarchies are networks of elements in which each element shares the same “horizontal” position of power and authority, each playing a theoretically equal role [wikipedia].Chaordic refers to a system of governance that blends characteristics of chaos and order. The term was coined by Dee Hock the founder and former CEO of the VISA credit card association [wikipedia].
  • Combine the TIMN perspective with the Cynefin framework, and I created this table, looking at how work gets done:Shifting our emphasis from collaboration, which still is required to get some work done, to cooperation, in order to thrive in a networked enterprise, means reassessing some of our assumptions and work practices. For instance:The lessening importance of teamwork, versus exploring outside the organization may change our perceptions about being a “team player”.Detailed roles and job descriptions are inadequate for work at the edge.You cannot train people to be social.Collaboration is only part of working in networks. Cooperation is also necessary, but it’s much less controllable than our institutions, hierarchies and HR practices would like to admit.

    Este articulo realmente me inspiro, de alguna manera me dio una clave para dar estructura a el caminito hacia el futuro del trabajo y la evolucion de los sistemas y modelos que estamos viviendo. es algo futurista, considerando que lo que hace la punta pasa tiempo hasta que se convierte en mainstream... pero nos habla de procesos y dinamicas y formas realmente diferentes, really open. y eso requiere de evolucion interna , de metas, de emociones, de coportamiento, y de ideas. Creo que ya hay generaciones haciendolo y listas, pero el mundo de las organizaciones y empresas aun esta liderado por gente del viejo mundo, de mi generacion inclusive. Es un reto usar la plasticidad del cerebro para trabajar de nuestro lado enfrente de ls esque mas y patrones aprendidos. De forma que creo que para seguir los pasos de ese caminito hace fata un entrenamiento personal mas alla que la asesoria de estructura. Primer paso: usar las herramientas. -En este punto estamos nosotros ofreciendo apoyo; como planteamos los siguientes pasos?- segundo paso: conocer lo posible tercer paso : trabajar las areas de reto para poder caminar en lo posible (normalmente de proceso personal primero) cuarto paso : entrar a la nueva estructura y navegar en ella, tomar las oportunidades, crearlas, vivirlo.
