I think knowledge workers/managers may perceive they are not ready to enbrace social collaboration platform at work because they think they are not familiar with the tools. However, the tools are the least worry, because they are meant to be easy to use - easy to publish, easy to share, easy to find, easy to follow. If you can manage email or Word processor, you can use social tools. It is difficult to see how it adds value to our day-to-day work, because we have been doing work/communicating in the same way for a long time at work, therefore, we feel so comfortable with our habits, and become complacent to make any changes even if the way we work is no longer suitable for a modern networked world. Learning to embrace social collaboration platform requires making a conscious decision/effort to change ones behaviour and habits. This is never straight forward and easy. It is just the way human beings evolve and innovate.... Once we take the first step, we realize it is not as difficult as we think, the second step is easier and soon it become how work get done.... we will get there. Every example that you/we share in how business embrace social and the value it adds help others to see the possibilities and help others take the first step.... Tks for sharing. Are there other examples anyone want to share?Bonnie Cheukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003810304718039206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18985877.post-1785440694171150302012-10-30T00:51:06.360-07:002012-10-30T00:51:06.360-07:00Hey Bonnie
I agree with you; enterprise social net...Hey Bonnie<br />I agree with you; enterprise social networking is not something that people grasp conceptually; even they are playing around with it in their private life.<br />I prefer to call it social collaboration and try to focus on the impact in their daily work environment. For example, in our KM team we are sharing news and links socially; project members can post a status and the project team is following; in a community of practice, people can follow the internal experts and pick up news, projects, solutions in their field of work. Basically, all these activities are replacing e-mail which have a limited (uncontrollable) scope. Social collaboration creates a transparency and flexibility many people in our company quickly understand.<br />And yes, they need to do it in order to see the benefit.<br />What do you think?lapsaptonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942093305094442185noreply@blogger.com
