In the light of the preceding (here and there ) we can attempt to define the concept of management 2.0. As you can see, I’m working on refining it and all your comments are welcome.
‘Implementation of managerial practices favouring the transmission and sharing of all types of information by all types of player to all types of receiver, and the implementation of collaborative practices, all designed to give rise to collective intelligence and practices based on the potential of all employees individually, with a view to getting them to form an intelligent entity in which they play a part without becoming part of it’.
If these practices are to be put in place, they will need to be supported and adopted by appropriate tools.
The approach leading to this twofold objective involves work on social practices, on the adoption of tools to practices (or even the design of new tools), the adoption of tools by players and the flexibilisation of tools in order to match the reality of the business’s human, social and organisational issues’.
Well… I think I’ve said it all as far as the objectives are concerned, the importance of taking the approach to a ‘virtual’ level is present, and it’s clear that the tool is essential for disseminating practices but that it’s ineffective without these same practices… so the human/system duality that it’s vital to consider from both angles at the same time and not independently.
Any clarifications? Anything to add? Is it necessary to mention the concept of people-centrism, which needs to be adapted to both management and the system, or is there enough of it in the definition?
This is the type of heavy-handed definition that never did me any favours as a student, but you have to go through it before you can get down to the nitty-gritty.
I’m now waiting for your feedback…
