  • Data scientists are beginning to peer into work relationships, trying to identify patterns that can improve how employees collaborate with peers, manage sales relationships, or see how they stack up against colleagues. It is a nascent market, but up-and-coming startups have their eyes set on upending established business-technology companies like Salesforce, which are also increasingly digging into data.
  • Elsewhere, Boston-based Sociometric Solutions Inc. uses physical sensors to collect data on employees' movements and the tone of their conversations to tell managers where interactions are dipping and where employees are congregating. In San Francisco, tenXer Inc., a program for computer engineers, tracks code modifications and hours spent in meetings to help them see how their productivity stacks up against colleagues. And Boston-based Yesware Inc. helps employees track emails, monitors how many times their emails are opened, what devices recipients are using, and provides analytic reports on the email traffic of colleagues.

    Startups Like RelateIQ Are Aiming to Help Improve Employees' Work Life With Software Résumé IA : RelatelQ - https://www.relateiq.com - est un logiciel qui se propose de regarder votre vie numérique pour vous en faire ressortir ce qui semble important. L'algorithme de RelateIQ recueille constamment des signaux de données pour déterminer si les relations de travail avec des partenaires internes ou externes se refroidissent et si l'utilisateur doit prendre des mesures. Sociometric Solutions utilise une méthode proche pour améliorer les conversations. tenXer - https://www.tenxer.com - gère les modifications de code et les heures passées en réunion pour aider à mieux maîtriser sa productivité. Yesware - http://www.yesware.com - tente d'améliorer la productivité par e-mail. Chez RelateIQ, les programmeurs tentent de toujours mieux cerner les tendances, comme le temps moyen qu'il faut pour qu'une personne puisse répondre et quels types de ponctuation et de phrases provoquent généralement des réponses. Ils tentent également de détecter le sarcasme et les mots qui sont habituellement associées à des questions importantes. Ces données peuvent révéler, par exemple, si une relation stagne ou progresse. Reste que dans des environnements de communication très complexe, le défi de ces outils est également complexe. L'apprentissage machine peut provoquer des erreurs, des mauvaises interprétations, des recommandations qui semblent venir de nulle part. Promesse ou illusion ?

  • Autre formule: le portage salarial, qui concilie l'indépendance du statut de consultant avec la sécurité du salariat.

  • That’s beginning to change as brands are becoming platforms for collaboration rather than assets to be leveraged.  Marketers who used to jealously guard their brands are now aggressively courting outside developers with Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) and Software Development Kits (SDK’s).  Our economy is increasingly becoming a semantic economy.
  • Aurialie Jublin on 10 Jun 13
     
    By the late 20th century, a knowledge economy began to take hold.  Workers became valued not for their labor, but for specialized knowledge, much of which was inscrutable to their superiors. Successful enterprises became learning organizations. Now, we are entering a new industrial revolution and machines are starting to take over cognitive tasks as well.  Therefore, much like in the first industrial revolution, the role of humans is again being rapidly redefined.  Organizations will have to change the way that they learn and managers' primary task will be to design the curricula.

  • Même Accenture a dû revoir sa méthode, qui avait été poussée à l’extrême : il fallait réserver à l’avance sur l’Intranet un créneau horaire. Une place en open space était alors attribuée de manière aléatoire. Difficile de manager dans ces conditions, se souvient un ancien cadre dirigeant : « Comme l’équipe se retrouvait éclatée, nous échangions par e-mail.

  • The machines are not just cleverer, they also have access to far more data. The combination of big data and smart machines will take over some occupations wholesale; in others it will allow firms to do more with fewer workers. Text-mining programs will displace professional jobs in legal services. Biopsies will be analysed more efficiently by image-processing software than lab technicians. Accountants may follow travel agents and tellers into the unemployment line as tax software improves. Machines are already turning basic sports results and financial data into good-enough news stories.
  • There will still be jobs. Even Mr Frey and Mr Osborne, whose research speaks of 47% of job categories being open to automation within two decades, accept that some jobs—especially those currently associated with high levels of education and high wages—will survive (see table). Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University and a much-read blogger, writes in his most recent book, “Average is Over”, that rich economies seem to be bifurcating into a small group of workers with skills highly complementary with machine intelligence, for whom he has high hopes, and the rest, for whom not so much.

  • Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology’s impact will feel like a tornado, hitting the rich world first, but eventually sweeping through poorer countries too. No government is prepared for it.
  • Worse, it seems likely that this wave of technological disruption to the job market has only just started. From driverless cars to clever household gadgets (see article), innovations that already exist could destroy swathes of jobs that have hitherto been untouched. The public sector is one obvious target: it has proved singularly resistant to tech-driven reinvention. But the step change in what computers can do will have a powerful effect on middle-class jobs in the private sector too.
  • One recent study by academics at Oxford University suggests that 47% of today’s jobs could be automated in the next two decades.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • At the same time, the digital revolution is transforming the process of innovation itself, as our special report explains. Thanks to off-the-shelf code from the internet and platforms that host services (such as Amazon’s cloud computing), provide distribution (Apple’s app store) and offer marketing (Facebook), the number of digital startups has exploded. J
  • f this analysis is halfway correct, the social effects will be huge. Many of the jobs most at risk are lower down the ladder (logistics, haulage), whereas the skills that are least vulnerable to automation (creativity, managerial expertise) tend to be higher up, so median wages are likely to remain stagnant for some time and income gaps are likely to widen.
  • The main way in which governments can help their people through this dislocation is through education systems. One of the reasons for the improvement in workers’ fortunes in the latter part of the Industrial Revolution was because schools were built to educate them—a dramatic change at the time. Now those schools themselves need to be changed, to foster the creativity that humans will need to set them apart from computers. There should be less rote-learning and more critical thinking. Technology itself will help, whether through MOOCs (massive open online courses) or even video games that simulate the skills needed for work.

    "INNOVATION, the elixir of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution artisan weavers were swept aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has displaced many of the mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were."

  • The hierarchical organizational structure is outdated. Those outside the organization, including employees after work, have more connections and better access to knowledge than inside. Traditionally, companies have been users of human capital, demanding all intellectual property for themselves. But networks can empower individuals, building upon the strengths of each member. The innovators are moving away from companies and into networks already. Today, most new companies are hiring fewer employees and many existing companies are shedding employees at every opportunity. The newly unemployed often realize their professional networks outside the organization are inadequate. The industrial era social contract between capital and labour is broken. Workers are starting to get more professional value from their social networks than from their companies, especially through open knowledge-sharing.
  • Aurialie Jublin on 19 Mar 14
     
    "Social networks disrupt hierarchical structures. Web-based social networks accelerate the spread of new ideas and lay bare organizational flaws. Anyone in a position of power and authority is losing some of that due to the growing power of social networks - doctors, teachers, managers, politicians. Social networks speed access to knowledge and accelerate learning. They allow people to quickly make and change connections. Seb Paquet calls this "ridiculously easy group-forming"."

holocratie autonomie management hiérarchie travail

  • According to Aaron Dignan, the CEO of the management consultancy Undercurrent in New York, holacracy's minimization of hierarchies enables companies to react faster in the marketplace. His own company converted to holacracy six months ago, and it now works with companies such as GE and American Express. "It's freed us up to be faster and be more adaptive in the long run," he says.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Holacracy does not eliminate hierarchies altogether. Each circle has a designated leader, who has the authority to appoint others into roles within the circle, but changes to the circle's governing policies must be agreed upon by all of its members. Employees may belong to several circles, but no one--not even Dignan--belongs to them all.
  • Undercurrent's new structure has changed how employees' overall responsibilities are assigned. By defining each role in the company independent of job title, it is easier to bundle roles more logically and ensure that employees aren't juggling an unmanageable number of responsibilities. Most employees at Undercurrent, Dignan says, have five to seven discrete roles in their positions.

11 Things To Know About Abstract Labor - 0 views

tictravail travail digital labor valeur travail contributif abstract labor

shared by Aurialie Jublin on 18 Aug 14 - No Cached
  • Living labor can be understood as identity-making effort (in the absence of traditional prescriptions); it is the productivity of open-ended potentiality. You can be whatever you want (and you will have to work to become it!) Abstract labor is the quantification of that effort, conforming it to pre-existing measuring tools that allow for its commodification. It’s a matter of having oneself fitted to the yardstick. All the work of being someone can be converted to dollars.
  • A fundamental problem for capitalism: how to maintain a supply of workers who are (a) flexible, creative, and motivated to be social (work cooperatively with others to produce value) at the same time they are (b) manageable, controllable, and predictable. It must be able to extract “living labor” — the work of belonging socially — as “abstract labor” amenable to rationalization, measurement, and control and freely deployable on whatever opportunity will yield the most profit.
  • Aurialie Jublin on 18 Aug 14
     
    "To recap: Social media are ways to contain and recapture the productive and potentially disruptive energy of the cooperation engendered by the capitalist production process, which depends on bringing workers together, dividing labor among them, and generating/capturing the surplus that emerges from their effort to work together. Cooperative efforts - sociality - are captured by social media and made into data: that is, they are made fungible, abstract, countable. This data then sets cooperative workers back into competition with one another, now competing over and in terms of measurable influence, attention, contribution, network links and so on. The struggle comes to seem like the very struggle for personal identity, but it's just the opposite; it's the struggle to render what is personal about oneself into something that is generally exploitable to whatever company wants it."

    La contribution, c'est ce qui procède de la déprolétarisation, à savoir, ce qui a été mis en œuvre à travers la création du logiciel libre. Dans celui-ci, les créateurs développent un travail industriel qui ne repose pas sur une division du travail et une perte de savoir de la part de ceux qui travaillent, facteurs qui constituent le véritable processus de la prolétarisation. L'économie contributive est tout autre : elle repose sur le développement et le partage du savoir. Selon l'IRI, l'économie des data et de leur partage est contributive si les utilisateurs construisent, traitent et partagent les données personnelles de manière réflexive, délibérée, critique, élaborée. Les utilisateurs doivent être associés à la conception même de tout ce qui consiste à tirer un parti de ces données.

  • Danièle Linhart va même beaucoup plus loin : elle estime que l'open space, dans sa version la plus difficile – les grands plateaux – est le symbole même des dérives du management moderne. "Ce management recherche une relative déstabilisation du salarié car il veut éviter les habitudes ou les routines qui pourraient éloigner des méthodes de travail les plus performantes. Avec sa transparence, l'open space est au coeur de cette stratégie : les salariés sont en concurrence visible, ils travaillent à découvert et comprennent vite qu'il faut se mobiliser et adopter les règles de l'entreprise. L'open space est une manière de planter le décor de la guerre économique."
  • les entreprises commencent, selon M. d'Iribarne, à s'éloigner d'une optique exclusivement gestionnaire. "Elles comprennent qu'il faut réhabiliter des espaces qui ont longtemps été déclassés comme les restaurants d'entreprise, les cafétérias, les jardins, les agoras. Ces lieux de rencontre permettent de réinventer le puits ou le lavoir d'autrefois : ils créent des moments d'échanges privilégiés, riches et spontanés. C'est important, car si les gens ne se connaissent pas, ne se comprennent pas, n'ont pas envie de travailler ensemble, le travail collectif ne fonctionne pas. Il faut restaurer la valeur du travail informel."

    Certains y voient un symbole de modernité et de transparence indépassable, d'autres, une résurgence du cauchemar tayloriste de Chaplin dans Les Temps modernes. "L'open space est à la fois l'aménagement le plus prisé des manageurs et le plus contesté par les employés", résume la sociologue Thérèse Evette qui fait ensuite un historique de l'open space. Apparition au début du XXe siècle pour une question de rentabilité foncière du fait de la densification des parcelles urbaines et des postes de travail En France, les immeubles administratifs et les sièges sociaux sont dans des appartements bourgeois reconvertis en bureaux, jusque dans les années 70 (1es tours de bureaux), voire 2000 pour son développement à grande échelle. Selon Alain d'Iribarne, la taille moyenne d'un poste de travail est passée de 25 m2, dans les années 1970, à 15 m2 aujourd'hui. " "Plébiscité pour sa souplesse et ses coûts, l'open space a fini par devenir le symbole du discours managérial sur les vertus de la communication, de la transparence et des échanges : il "assouplit les esprits" et "augmente la fluidité de l'information et les échanges informels", affirmait ainsi le secrétaire général de Danone, en 2003. " "L'open space, s'il est bien aménagé, peut convenir à une équipe qui travaille de manière réellement collective autour d'un projet", confirme Thérèse Evette, cofondatrice du Laboratoire Espaces travail de l'ENSAPLV.

  • But Flex operates year-round, not just during the holiday season, which suggests there’s another reason for it: It’s cheap. As the larger trucking industry has discovered over the past decade, using independent contractors rather than unionized drivers saves money, because so many expenses are borne by the drivers, rather than the company.
  • The company doesn’t share information about how many drivers it has, but one Seattle economist calculated that 11,262 individuals drove for Flex in California between October 2016 and March 2017, based on information Amazon shared with him to help the company defend a lawsuit about Flex drivers.
  • “A lot of these gig-type services essentially rely on people not doing the math on what it actually costs you,”
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • One Amazon Flex driver in Cleveland, Chris Miller, 63, told me that though he makes $18 an hour, he spends about 40 cents per mile he drives on expenses like gas and car repairs. He bought his car, used, with 40,000 miles on it. It now has 140,000, after driving for Flex for seven months, and Uber and Lyft before that. That means he’s incurred about $40,000 in expenses—things he didn’t think about initially, like changing the oil more frequently and replacing headlights and taillights. He made slightly less than $10 an hour driving for Uber, he told me, once he factored in these expenses; Flex pays a bit better.
  • If the driver gets into a car accident, the driver, not Amazon, is responsible for medical and insurance costs. If a driver gets a speeding ticket, the driver pays. (UPS and FedEx usually pay their trucks’ tickets, but Amazon explicitly says in the contract Flex drivers sign that drivers are responsible for fees and fines­.)
  • Brown likes to work two shifts delivering groceries for Amazon, from 4:30 to 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 a.m., but the morning we talked, no 4:30 shifts were available. He sometimes wakes up at 3 a.m. and does what Flex workers call the “sip and tap,” sitting at home and drinking coffee while refreshing the app, hoping new blocks come up. He does not get paid for the hour he spends tapping. Twice in the last year, he’s been barred from seeing new blocks for seven days because Amazon accused him of using a bot to grab blocks—he says he just taps the app so frequently Amazon assumes he’s cheating.
  • Akunts said that people often get “deactivated,” which means they receive a message telling them they can no longer drive for Flex. Sometimes, the workers don’t know why they’ve been terminated and their contract annulled, he told me. It can take as long as a month to get reinstated.
  • But lots of people risk it and park illegally in meters, he told me—the number of parking citations issued in the first three months of the year for people parking illegally at red and yellow meters grew 29 percent from 2016, according to data provided to me by the city.
  • And then there was the fact that the Flex technology itself was difficult to use. Flex workers are supposed to scan each package before they deliver it, but the app wouldn’t accept my scans. When I called support, unsure of what to do, I received a recorded messaging saying support was experiencing technical difficulties, but would be up again soon. Then I got a message on my phone telling me the current average wait time for support was “less than 114,767 minutes.” I ended up just handing the packages to people in the offices without scanning them, hoping that someone, somewhere, was tracking where they went.
  • Technology was making their jobs better—they worked in offices that provided free food and drinks, and they received good salaries, benefits, and stock options. They could click a button and use Amazon to get whatever they wanted delivered to their offices—I brought 16 packages for 13 people to one office; one was so light I was sure it was a pack of gum, another felt like a bug-spray container.
  • But now, technology was enabling Amazon to hire me to deliver these packages with no benefits or perks. If one of these workers put the wrong address on the package, they would get a refund, while I was scurrying around trying to figure out what they meant when they listed their address as “fifth floor” and there was no fifth floor. How could these two different types of jobs exist in the same economy?
  • Gig-economy jobs like this one are becoming more and more common. The number of “non-employer firms” in the ground-transportation sector—essentially freelancers providing rides through various platforms—grew 69 percent from 2010 to 2014, the most recent year for which there is data available, according to a Brookings analysis of Census Bureau and Moody’s data.
  • “We’re going to take the billion hours Americans spend driving to stores and taking things off shelves, and we’re going to turn it into jobs,” Viscelli said. “The fundamental question is really what the quality of these jobs is going to be.”
  • Liss-Riordan says one of the biggest obstacles in getting workers to take legal action over their classification is that many Flex workers agree, upon signing up to deliver packages, to resolve disputes with Amazon through arbitration. Companies can now use arbitration clauses to prevent workers from joining together to file class-action lawsuits, because of a May Supreme Court ruling.
  • Even weeks after I’d stopped driving for Flex, I kept getting new notifications from Amazon, telling me that increased rates were available, tempting me to log back in and make a few extra bucks, making me feel guilty for not opening the app, even though I have another job.
  • My tech-economy experience was far less lucrative. In total, I drove about 40 miles (not counting the 26 miles I had to drive between the warehouse and my apartment). I was paid $70, but had $20 in expenses, based on the IRS mileage standards. I had narrowly avoided a $110 parking ticket, which felt like a win, but my earnings, added up, were $13.33 an hour. That’s less than San Francisco’s $14 minimum wage.

  • Pour ouvrir l’échange, Serge Ravet nous a présenté l’initiative MIRVA et les OpenBadges : rendre les apprentissages informel visibles et actionnables. Serge nous a démontré l’intérêt de pouvoir montrer ses talents cachés au travers d’open badges. L’idée est que chacun puisse proposer et définir des éléments de reconnaissance qui fassent sens, au niveau d’une communauté, d’un territoire. Cette reconnaissance ouverte est porteuse de confiance et de partage, en permettant une reconnaissance beaucoup plus ouverte que si elle est porté uniquement par des institutions délivrant des diplômes.
  • Eden Jean-Marie du CIBC Normandie, nous a ensuite présenté comment accompagner les parcours d’apprenants pour leur donner confiance et de leur permettre de se prendre en main. L’outil proposé en support à cet accompagnement est DayTripper, qui permet de capturer une expérience avec son mobile, de la décrire, de la caractériser et de la partager. Ainsi, chacun peut valoriser ses apprentissages, communiquer sur ses parcours, ses expériences, et donc de devenir acteur, porteur de preuves de son parcours.
  • Philippe Ruffieux apporte quant à lui une approche qui permet aux apprenants de travailler ensemble. Chacun peut devenir expert d’un apprentissage dès qu’il a réussi à le démontrer et ensuite accompagner ses pairs, voire proposer de nouvelles modalités pour démontrer ses capacités. On est bien dans une démarche d’enseignement mutuel. L’outil proposé, Sqily permet ainsi de définir des objectifs d’apprentissage, de décrire un parcours complet sous forme d’arbre, de gérer la validation mutuelle, et de supporter l’enseignement collaboratif avec une interface proche de Slack, outil collaboratif bien connu et reconnu.

  • Open Badges, DayTripper, Sqily sont des outils existant, permettant de rendre visible les talents, les apprentissages, les expériences et de soutenir la coopération. Les témoignages démontrent que ces outils prennent leur sens dans une démarche qui soutient et développe la capacité d’agir des acteurs. Si vous êtes intéressés par les conditions pour que numérique rime avec pouvoir d’agir, je vous encourage à aller consulter le travail du projet Capacity qui est en train de présenter ses conclusions sur ce sujet.

    "Coopérer autour de ses apprentissages, tout un programme pour les apprenants tout au long de la vie, élèves, étudiants, citoyens… Comment rendre visible ses connaissances, comment donner à voir ce que l'on a appris au détour d'une expérience, du chemin, comment permettre aux étudiants de s'épauler pour progresser ensemble ? Lors du forum des usages coopératifs de Brest, plusieurs acteurs, proposant des solutions complémentaires nous ont proposé un panorama d'approches et de solutions qui promettent de dynamiser ces coopérations, tout en gommant les frontières dans les apprentissages."
