Why We Need To Rethink Organizational Change Management
08.02.2019
Welcome to my first post in this column dedicated to presenting big ideas by bold thinkers that help us imagine organizational change in new ways. If you want to produce change in the world and wonder how good organizational design can facilitate this change, then this column is for you. All organizations must grapple with change, yet many conventional models of organizational change management leave me dissatisfied. I recently revisited some classic texts on change management and a few of them reminded me of Sleeping Beauty. Do you remember the fairy ...

Engaging intranets enhance productivity, pride, connection, and purpose at work
08.02.2019
If your company is serious about improving employee engagement, then the intranet is the perfect place to start, Tami Matthews, Content Strategist at ElevatePoint, believes. In this interview, Matthews tells MARGINALIA how and why a modern intranet can have a positive impact on the employee experience. She also shares her views on the latest intranet trends and the future of work. With just 15 percent of global employees reporting that they feel actively engaged at work, engagement is one of the biggest crises facing the workplace. What can organisations ...

Understanding how Design Thinking, Lean and Agile Work Together
08.02.2019
The ideas of Agile are great. It's the way it has been codified into rituals and certifications, and rolled out mindlessly that misses the point. When people talk about Lean, the conversation often ends at process optimization, waste, and quality, and misses so much of what the Lean mindset offers. Design Thinking is held high as the new magic trick of design facilitators. That's three mindsets corrupted by the unthinking masses, who've grabbed onto a tantilising promise of something better, and followed the steps without really thinking it through. ...

4 ways IT can better collaborate with the business on digital transformation
08.02.2019
Differing priorities between business and IT are hindering digital transformation efforts, according to a report from The Economist. Digital transformation projects are underway at the majority of companies, as technology reshapes every industry and businesses must adapt to remain competitive. However, these digital efforts are often hindered by a lack of collaboration between IT and the business, according to a Wednesday report from The Economist Intelligence Unit and BMC Software. Two-thirds of organizations often bypass IT when purchasing new technologies ...

Workplace evolution: 5 ways work culture will change by 2030
08.02.2019
Technology, talent shortage, and trust are just a few of the issues that will challenge workplace culture over the next decade. Recent years have seen an exceptional awareness and prioritization of workplace culture by both employers and employees. Culture is a company's "personality," including the behavioral expectations, practices, and other norms that influence how people interact both internally and on its behalf. Ignore it at your own risk. Recent research by Hired found that company culture is the second most important factor candidates consider ...

Why many big agile transformations fail
07.02.2019
A long, long time ago, smartasses in IT came together in UTAH and gave birth to Agile, the manifesto and its principles. Ever since, the world is changing and companies want to embrace the Agile way of working. The effect of implementing an Agile framework, like e.g. Scrum, is that it puts your organisation upside down. It breaks down the silos while creating cross functional teams. It changes the culture and often, that's the moment when C-level takes back the command and restart controlling because it seems like everything is so unstructured. I've ...

A seamless working and learning environment
07.02.2019
At the heart of a seamless working and learning environment is your organisation's social collaboration platform. A collaboration tool, like Slack, that supports team working is ideal for this, as it used by teams and groups to underpin their work. Slack has become very popular tool and has rapidly risen up the Top Tools for Learning list. In May 2018 Slack announced it had 8 million daily active users across 500,000 organizations, with 77% of the Fortune 100 having adopted it.

Change Perspectives and Dissolve Resistance
07.02.2019
Have you ever been in a meeting where the topic of discussion was "Why are they resisting our change?" Me too. What did you discover? Chances are good you discovered all the reasons you and your team think the people are resisting. Chances are also very good that what you think is a bunch of self-serving nonsense. (Harsh, but true!) There's a better way to break through the so-labeled "resistance" and move your change forward: You ask the people you think are resisting for their perspectives on your change.

The State of Work Life Balance in 2019: What we learned from studying 185 million hours of working time
07.02.2019
With the power to fit our workday into our pocket and the unrelenting rise of "always on" work culture, its no wonder so many people struggle with work life balance. According to a Harvard Business School survey, 94% of service professionals put in 50+ hours a week. And while some people claim long hours are necessary, study after study shows that when we lose work life balance, everyone suffers the consequences. Once we pass a certain threshold of working hours, our sleep starts to become impaired; we're more likely to feel depressed and stressed; and ...

Digitale Bildung in Unternehmen: Übernehmt mehr Verantwortung!

Mit der Weiterbildung ist es oft wie mit guten Vorsätzen am Jahresanfang: Erst ist man euphorisiert, dann ernüchtert und zum Schluss wird es eine Quälerei. In Sachen digitales Know-how scheinen Führungskräfte und Politiker gerade die euphorische Phase zu durchlaufen. Da viele gerade die digitale Weiterbildung als den Schlüssel zum Erfolg in der digitalen Welt propagieren. Aber egal wie laut sie rufen, nur die Wenigsten wird das zum Handeln bewegen. Warum?

In der Next Economy ist Höchstgeschwindigkeit Dauerzustand
06.02.2019
Die Next Economy? Das ist eine Tempowirtschaft, in der sich menschliche und künstliche Intelligenzen miteinander verbinden. Überleben werden in diesem Kontext nur solche Organisationen, in denen permanenter Wandel möglich ist. Hier ein Innovatiönchen und dort ein Klacks Tünche, um sich einen modernen Anstrich zu geben? Das reicht nicht. Verbale Aufgeschlossenheit bei anhaltender Verhaltensstarre? Ist tödlich! An einer neuen Managementlogik kommt niemand vorbei.

Workplace Colleagues Can Kill Us With Too Much Collaboration - DON'T BECOME ONE!
06.02.2019
Learning to navigate and manage the intense rise of collaborative demands in today's workplace is a skill that is necessary to survive and thrive in today's world. Setting limits around the time you devote to multiple projects and multiple co-workers is essential to not burning out. In addition, being wary of identity triggers that lead us to jump into collaborations is as or more important than managing email, meetings and calendars today.

Toxic Meetings = Corporate Torture (Here's How To Fix Them)
06.02.2019
You probably attended one, maybe more, this week. Was it a department meeting, a one-on-one meeting, an update meeting, an alignment meeting or a meeting in another disguise? Whatever, it's a meeting. And was it completely useless and boring, and a waste of your precious time? In our old corporate jobs we were constantly kidnapped by this frustrating exercise. It felt like a 21st century form of torture. The biggest frustration is the uselessness and inefficiency of most meetings. Which is why a columnist in The Economist recently proposed a cynical ...

Recognising the resistance
06.02.2019
A lot of change advice focuses on dealing with resistance to change. Indeed a lot of debate amongst change agents is about dealing with resistance. It's a common perception that "people don't like change" and as a result most leaders get ready to answer questions about their change as part of their preparation in order to head off resistance early. Despite that we still see debate about change resistance. So if we are all prepared and have the answers in advance yet we still get resistance then thats a "whole load of people that shouldn't be on ...

The Salt in the Broth, Warm Data and Systems Change

Is there space in the keyboard strokes for the pink of life? Assembling letters into words and images that reach into feelings, inviting memories, things once known, regrets, and touching the purple bruises of this moment. Is there a chance now to say what we have known and previously tried not to voice? People will demand clarity, accessibility, direct-ness. They will tut-tut and brush off the brushstrokes that do not have the ring of sterility and know-how. I apologize. I do not mean to be incomprehensible.

Zwischenruf im Echoraum: Rückkehr des Analogen?!
05.02.2019
Der Zukunftsforscher Matthias Horx prophezeit uns eine "Rückkehr des Analogen" - oder besser gesagt: eine Digitalisierung 2.0, in der herkömmliche Kommunikationsregeln wieder stärker greifen. In Fachdiskussionen zu "Digital Workplace" und "New Work" lässt sich eine solche Trendumkehr in Ansätzen bereits beobachten. Dagegen wird die öffentliche Debatte immer noch von der Macht der Algorithmen bestimmt. Die Verantwortlichen in den Unternehmen sollten sich für den Wandel rüsten und ihre Content-Marketing-Strategien überdenken. An dieser Stelle kommentiert ...

Die Idee, allmählich immer mehr auf Papier zu verzichten, gefällt vielen Office-Managerinnen und -Managern. Aber wie fängt man das an? Am besten mit einem kleinen Startprojekt, raten Experten. Die besten Tipps. Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, da haben wir alle 36er-Filmrollen aus der Kamera gekurbelt und zum Entwickeln gebracht.

Why organizational network analysis and people analytics are the ingredients for successful change initiatives
05.02.2019
You are responsible for making a success out of a change initiative at your organization. The books and articles you have read in the past make you a bit frightened with this responsibility, because the literature is more about the failure of change than the success of it. And if you then finally found a success story, can it be adopted to your specific organizational context, cultural norms and expectations? Most of the change methods are designed for the past. These methods worked well in situations where command-and-control or top-down was still king ...

Treat your employees like your customers: A Case for a New Company Culture
05.02.2019
The shift to the digital age, as well as increased competition, is changing the way we need to act to retain talent: that's why creating a true 'company culture' to unleash each employee's potential is key to a company's success. Traditionally, big corporations used to see their employees mainly as the 'workforce' responsible for the product. This old, outdated perspective needs to change as soon as possible as expanded access to knowledge and the spread of cross-functional roles, means that employees today are much more than just a production unit - ...

People need Exemplarity, not Perfection!

Each time I meet a CEO or other high-ranking Officer, who's had the insight that the Disruption Economy requires her organization to transform itself and wants it NOW, my question comes as early as it can in the dialogue: "How badly do you want this change to take place?

Geschäftsmodelle: Halbherziger Kurs Richtung Digitale Transformation
04.02.2019
Unternehmen fokussieren sich bei der Digitalisierung auf kurzfristige Effizienzvorteile. Eigentliches Ziel ist die kontinuierliche Unternehmenstransformation. Unternehmensentscheider aus der Region DACH sind sich durchaus darüber im Klaren, dass die Digitalisierung nicht abgeschlossen ist, sondern gerade erst richtig angefangen hat. In der Studie "Digital Value"von Horváth & Partners äußern die befragten Manager auf C-Level-Ebene hohe Erwartungen, was die Vorteile des fortschreitenden digitalen Wandels angeht.

7 Ways Chatbots Help Digital Workplace Workers
04.02.2019
At the Gartner Application Architecture, Development and Integration Summit in Mumbai last year, Van Baker, a research vice president at Gartner, told the audience that by 2020 over 50 percent of medium to large enterprises will have deployed product chatbots, which use artificial intelligence (AI) to mimic human conversations. As a result of their ability to use natural-language processing (NLP) to map a spoken or written input to an intent, chatbots are rapidly entering the digital workplace.

"Taking responsibility for our own work and learning"
04.02.2019
"To a great extent PKM [personal knowledge management] is about shifting responsibility for learning and knowledge sharing from a company to individuals and this is the greatest challenge for both sides. Companies should recognise that their employees are not 'human resources', but investors who bring their expertise into a company. As any investors they want to participate in decision-making and can easily withdraw if their 'return on investment' is not compelling. Creativity, learning or desire to help others cannot be controlled, so knowledge workers ...
