Optimizing workload has always been a key concern for businesses and managers. A too heavy workload regarding to the capacity leads to explosion, a too low workload means resources are wasted. I don’t even mention last minute assignments to face imponderables. In brief, bad adjustments have an heavy price.
In a manufacturing economy things are more [...]

A dedicated joint team (what is ly prefered choice), HR dept, Communication Dept, IT dept… This is something that has to be thought about upstream but in many cases someone takes the leadership and [...]

Will you know how to export your conversations and focus on transactions ?
December 7th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, HR & Management 2.0, Social Networking, recruitment
The world of communication and marketing is worried because of the consecration of digital medias, an highbrow word used to talk about the web by people who are suddently feeling out of date.
For many people, the revolution brought by the web is the so-called new “power” that’s in internauts’ hands. According to me this power, [...]

How to understand and position enteprise 2.0 in the real enterprise
December 1st, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, enterprise 2.0, social computing
It’s time to sum up all the thoughts I had these last months. I tried to start from both the concerns expressed by C level managers asking for a global vision and ground managers who needed a “hands on” vision because they don’t have time to waste to try to understand such nebulous things. Having [...]

Community management Vs Socio-Collaborative management : how to make the right choice
November 17th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, social computing
I already wrote how dangerous it was to use community management for every kind of purpose, and that instead of seing communities everywhere (which need community managers), enterprises have to learn to recognize groups who only need a “simple” manager who’s doing his job right.
Using social platforms in the context of teamwork has a purpose [...]

Personal branding is not about self promotion but collective intelligence
September 17th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Human resources, Social Networking
It’s incredible to see how the subject became fashionable in a few months (anyway in France) and how many experts suddenly emerged on the subjec. As Vincent Berthelot [fr] I was rather taken aback about what it was all about but, at the end, I came to a quick conclusion:
- if everyone is transparent and [...]

Lessons from a crisis and the behavioral economics
August 26th, 2009 · View Comments · HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, economy, enterprise 2.0
A year ago, the world entered a crisis that didn’t let it unhurt. A crisis I won’t call economic or or financial since I think the disease was deeper. Anyway, many people understand that, this time, we’ll have to be more creative than in a past and not rebuild things as they were. But [...]

Recruitment process socialization

New concrete example of socialization : the recruitment process. Here again, we’ll see that it’s possible to do things without Copernican Revolution or harming anyone.
The situation
Enterprises have to hire people. Even if the market is sometimes hard for applicants, no company can work without people. The need is clear : hiring people who fit both [...]

Socializing your decision making process

What is it about ?
Making the right decisions is key to be [...]
