What Are the Required Skills for Today’s Digital Workforce?

What Are the Required Skills for Today’s Digital Workforce?

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 17, 2015

As I spend a great deal of time every year looking at the latest technological advances for the enterprise, I’ve noticed a trend in recent years that’s long been true but is clearly markedly accelerating. That trend is that technology has officially pulled well ahead of the workplace skills of even the most proactive manager […]

The Strategic Value of Social Business: What We’ve Learned

The Strategic Value of Social Business: What We’ve Learned

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 5, 2015

Recently, I had the need to gather our latest research from research, clients, and case studies on the established performance of social business for the Future of Work master class I delivered in Paris at Enterprise 2.0 SUMMIT 2015 this week. The intent was to answer this question: What specifically is the business value in […]

Unified Collaboration: How Social Business and Other Forms of Digital Engagement are Intertwining

By Dion Hinchcliffe on November 12, 2014

The rich history of digital collaboration in the last 30 years has been a long and winding one. Fortunately, it’s also been a highly rewarding story that has led to literally historic advances in workforce productivity and efficiency for most organizations.

Uncovering the Agile Elephant

Uncovering the Agile Elephant

By David Terrar on January 27, 2014

At our social business event back in September, during Social Media Week London, we could feel something in the atmosphere.  A mood in the room, a sense of excitement and change.  Digital disruption is happening at a rapid rate.  Everyone’s business model is under threat from the move to digital across all industries.  The average […]

Buy this Book for Yourself for the Holidays

Buy this Book for Yourself for the Holidays

By Susan Scrupski on December 16, 2013

When Nilofer Merchant’s 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era came out, I bought it on my Kindle.  But, because I have 49,245 books on my Kindle (not really, but that’s what it feels like), I sort of just parked it there to read to “later.” Well, later was this weekend. I’m stunned […]

Social Business: Pining for the Fjords!

Social Business: Pining for the Fjords!

By Susan Scrupski on December 5, 2013

“I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it…  It’s dead!” So, which is it dead or not dead?   There is so much confusion in the market about what “Social Business” is, it might as well be a dead parrot (too).  And there is no shortage of people who come at this conversation with a perspective […]

WIIFM on Working Socially?

WIIFM on Working Socially?

By Susan Scrupski on November 14, 2013

Let’s be honest: change bites!  Most people do not like change.  Change brings uncertainty, a loss of security and control, a fleeting feeling of helplessness, and even panic.  Helping large organizations embrace disruptive change is a tall order.  What’s needed are roadmaps, play books, guidance, intelligence, patience, and a little inspiration.  But, change can be […]

Circular [Social Business] Arguments

Circular [Social Business] Arguments

By Sameer Patel on April 8, 2013

With respect to why “Social Business” is a natural fit for the world of work, I said on Twitter: @sameerpatel: Often heard #socbiz argument: “humans are social by nature”. Then why is it that #socbiz s/w adoption has been so hard historically? Contradicting this is another popular statement about Social Business: “Its not about the technology, its about […]

That Sound You’re Not Hearing in Your Business Could Be Fatal.

That Sound You’re Not Hearing in Your Business Could Be Fatal.

By Susan Scrupski on February 4, 2013

“Fools,” said I, “You do not know. Silence like a cancer grows.”   Simon and Garfunkel   If we’ve learned anything over these past six, going on seven years of covering the internal social collaboration sector, it’s that the social web has become a catalyst for intellectual curiosity. Tribes are forming everywhere with the growing popularity of niche sub-groups […]

Knowledge Sharing - The "New" Power in the Enterprise

Knowledge Sharing – The "New" Power in the Enterprise

By Michael Fauscette on April 6, 2011

I grew up with the concept that knowledge is power and that hoarding knowledge could lead to a strong power base in an organization. That’s not an unusual view from the recent past and fits a hierarchical structure inside a…
