In Mobile - Application support was the number one concern, followed by security and network access for using mobile devices in the workplace. Tim Berners-Lee was concerned with connectivity to the person, as he posted "Maybe it isn't so much connectivity to the net, but to the person? You can build mobile apps which more or less can assume that the person is always there. So a mobile app can demand more of you -- response to incoming events. Being able to track a person's position (and things) is very different from having access to it just when they load a map." Perhaps it speaks to the point that the transition to mobile devices is still early from a business software point of view. Tim prodded the JAM on application a little further with "What is is that as a users we feel we should be getting from our portable devices and we are not? Sometimes an app takes us by surprise, like with real-time bus data, or turning on the camera light as a flashlight, but sometimes we react, well, of course, it should have had that all along! What things should these gadgets be doing to make our lives -- especially our collaborative business lives -- better? " Metrics was a lively topic. With many interesting threads that pointed out the value of metrics and new ways to think about and apply them. Lee Aase from the Mayo Clinic joined in from Sydney where he was attending a social technologies conference and reminded the JAM that even old dogs are learning new tricks when it comes to Social Business. Lee posted, It's the stories that count - "With older employees particularly, but even as a general rule, we have seen that stories and practical examples of social tools producing concrete results are the key to building interest in engaging. In the health care field it all comes down to "What is the benefit for patients?" and as we share those examples we see "Eureka!" moments in many staff members." Seamless Integration of Social was a topic where Jammers explored the breadth of where Social technologies could go especially the marketplace. Doc Searls was our VIP guest who focused here and posted " My point: most of what we call "social" is corporate and paid for by advertising. Its marketplace is the one for data we shed. Meanwhile the real marketplace where we live and work and shop is largely ignored. We should be improving that one. (Something I've been working on for five years through ProjectVRM at Harvard's Berkman Center." Business Process meets Social got into the heart of that matter with various participants commenting on how the two areas had not come together. Dion Hinchcliffe from Dachis Group helped move the discussion along in this area and provide insights. He posted "I had a fascinating talk recently with one of my colleagues working on large-scale collab in financial services. He's finding that the mode of work and type of user makes a big difference. More senior people need to be able to do short social comments in e-mail while knowledge workers and line staff want to work inside a more capable, dedicated social tool. By connecting the two conversations and aggregating them in one place, he can satisfy quick collab via e-mail and sustained and better integrated social experiences for those that need them, all in one social activity stream. " and Nigel Fenwick from Forrester responded, "I often find the topic of integration to the workflow is one that becomes the foundation of discussions around developing Social Business Strategy. When implementing collaboration technologies, some people attempt to force a change in behavior by moving content away from email and onto a social intranet - while this approach has the advantage of encouraging engagement it also disenfranchises anyone not yet comfortable with the social technologies or who perceive them as taking too much time. I prefer a hybrid approach: one where existing communications channels become part of social interactions. Email is a social technology and we need to think about how to embed it and use it for what it does very well - asynchronous communications. By embedding email as a core part of social strategy we can rethink how to allow people to engage in conversations on social platforms via email. When we do this we open more people up to social conversations. For example, senior executives may find it much easier to respond to a question posted on a discussion thread using their mobile email platform - allowing this brings them into the discussion and makes the collaboration more worthwhile for all. For this reason I suggest every workplace social strategy must include a clear roadmap for allowing interaction across multiple platforms, both online and offline, and include the ability to engage via email. " Identity Management for Social touched on sharing, control and security in the Social environment. The hottest topic was started by the W3C's Harry Halpin when he asked about "interest in standards around identity!". Our JAM Host , Mike Donalson from Ping Identity offered this information about levels of security , " We are working with a number of businesses that are doing exactly this. Most are using social networking support to make it as easy as possible for users to access basic functionality on their site. However, once the user wants to do something where more security is desired/required, they ask the user to "step up" to a more secure account and/or authentication method." Information management looked at the problems around the flood of data that users now deal with. The term Information Management is a W3C term and somewhat equivalent to attention management. Ed Krebs from Ford was a host and active participant in this discussion along with our own Charlie Hill. Ed offered some thoughts around getting at information in an activity stream with, "Borrowing from the advances in Search, would we envision that the activity stream system provide an easy way to cluster similar topics? For example, in some search tools you'll see a link "more like this?". Perhaps you are suggesting that the system help us see messages together, at least as an option, based on a variety of blending algorithms. I like the idea that something like this gives us a business decision based approach."
University of London Our vision is of a world in which a life‐changing high quality university education is available to all who will benefit. Our mission is to provide worldwide access to the internationally‐renowned programmes and awards of the University of London and its Colleges. By 2012 we aim to ... Broaden access to our programmes ... Enhance the learning experience and achievement of our students ... Establish and reinforce strong collaborative relationships ... Proactively plan and manage our sustained growth. The challenge: Modernize the university’s outdated & inefficient IT systems to provide learning services & community resources for over 41,000 distance learning students, educators & administrators. The solution: Extend existing university systems & improve IT infrastructure to provide online learning environments, email, and administrative support to every student via a simple Web interface. Improvements will be based on SITS:Vision educational software & IBM Lotus software, unified through Websphere Portal, to provide: Identity & Access Management Business Integration & Personalisation Profile & Security Management Student Email Student Networking Web Content Management The benefits: Students will be able to access email, collaboration tools, educational resources & administrative materials instantly, anywhere in the world – facilitating distance learning & reducing paperwork. Additionally, the solution is expected to save £300,000 annually & improve IT management efficiency.
