How is Social Technology impacting on your workplace?
Ask for show of hands for each point - McKinsey Global InstitutionIn such a short time, social technologies has become a sweeping cultural, social and economic phenomenon.Hundreds of millions of people have adopted new behaviours using social media, conducting social activities on the internet, creating and joining virtual communities, organizing political activities. All the rituals and ties in which individuals and groups in society participate - from personal events such as weddings or daily gossip, to global happenings – play out on social platforms.Social Technologies have changed how millions of people live.People rely on online social connections – often people they have never met – for everythinkg from advice on what movie to watch to what to eat and how to lose weight. Writers, musicians are now publishing and performing via You Tube and blogs. Indeed, many behaviours that sociologists study – forming, maintaining and breaking social bonds – are now taking place online.
Ask for suggestions about this amount of time.
Untapped Potential – ask fro suggested %In groups talk about how your business could get more benefit from social Media.
Raise productivity of knowledge workers by 20% – 25%Organisations have to become fully networked enterprises – in both technical AND a behavioural senseRequires big changes in Management practices and Organisational behaviour.
Social Technologies are the products and services that enable social interactions in the digital realmPeople connect virtuallyIndividuals create, add, modify consume content and this participation is shared. These tools have been evolving for 40 years. They may not be called Facebook and Yammer and Twitter in the next decade but the Tools that exist will be still here
Social Media – Is it a drag, a curse – meaningless? Only for the celebrities.Can the tools be useful in the workplace or a complete waste of precious time?
This is NOT an Intranet site This is a Public site and provides information to anyone in the world.The trend is for more transparency and the corporate boundaries are blurring. Responsibility on the employee is to engage
Groups of people to jointly create and maintain content through contribution and collaboration. Unleash the wisdom of crowds and apply it to generating valuable information for people interested in a particular subject.
Why Blog?Accenture blogs feature thought leadership on a wide range of business issues, with a particular focus on helping companies achieve high performance.
