Employers expectations |

A key emerging trend in the new Connected Enterprise is treating employees as an asset and thus as an internal customer and stakeholder — from both: an IT and HR perspective. Organizations that recognize that by empowering employees to achieve instead of impeding them,  will gain a competitive advantage in retaining key talent. Because the current “social media generation” is used to working with tools that are increasingly social and collaborative, the ability to foster that type of work environment — while still satisfying privacy and security concerns — is key to engagement in the workplace.

Social Business |

A business philosophy that emphasizes employee trust and autonomy as an alternative to hierarchical command and control management. Additionally, the philosophy views customers and business partners as trusted components of the organization, not as external constituents.

The philosophy should be supported by appropriate organizational design, culture, business process, and technology strategies and investments.

The model of the past is a hierarchical structure, with a bureaucracy that runs on conformity, control, standardization, and specialization. It was designed for large organizations to be efficient at scale, not to address the ways humans work best.— The Management 2.0 Challenge: How will YOU Reinvent Management in Your Organization?—HBR

Turn your employees into intrapreneurs who initiate change or innovate |

Give people enough time to work on creative ideas, but set up formal processes to make sure those ideas go somewhere.

Encourage all your employees to contribute to the innovation dialogue.Assemble and unleash a diverse workforce. Diverse viewpoints result in better ideas.

Design a career path for your intrapreneurs. Look for nontraditional ways to advance their careers.

Prepare for the pitfalls of intrapreneurship. Be prepared to deal with failure and conflict.
