One of the difficulties with organizations today is to represent them in an acceptable way. The old organization chart is largely outdated since it shows only the hierarchical dependencies and not the reality of the corporation. But what is the reality? How could one represent an organization in a way useful to employees, clients, shareholders and other stakeholders?
Everyone talks about networking; you get invitations galore to be on some new website, then spend more time juggling from one to the other than really getting interested in what comes through, whether these are professional or personal driven. Has the world gone topsy-turvy with all this rigmarole? No, will tell you those that keep their eyes stuck to their I-Phone, Blackberry or equivalent; yes, will answer those who relish on glorious sights in beautiful countryside. But what can be pros and cons for a company: from top to bottom.
Reporters are a good case study of what happens in the world of work with the advent of digitalization. Their situation today is not brilliant at all, many of them have lost their job in cost cutting programs, but there is hope. The profession will just never be again what it was. The job mutation of reporters will depend largely on how the press is managing its transition. Until now, the answers have been desperately poor but there are signs that this is going to change and that traditional press will be alive again. The problem for reporters is that they have to go through dark ages before they can see the light again since the adjustment of the industry will be slow.
In the world of work and in the economic theory reporters are special specie.
L’Association HEC organise sur ce thème un Forum-Carrières exceptionnel organisé en partenariat avec APPLE. l’Institut Boostzone y participe puisque trois de ses membres y interviennent. Une table ronde accessible à tous sur Internet abordera notamment les points suivants
* Quelles sont les nouvelles attentes des salariés par rapport à leur entreprise ?
* Nouveaux comportements professionnels liés aux nouvelles technologies : faut-il toujours rester connecté ?
* Quels sont les nouveaux rapports hiérarchiques ?
* Comment préserver l’équilibre vie professionnelle / vie privée ?
* Réseau professionnel et réseau social : où est la frontière ?
* Comment les nouveaux outils internet ont-ils modifié la pratique du réseau (Facebook, Linkedin, Viadéo…)
* Comment les approches traditionnelles de recherche de job sont-elles impactées ?
One thing that strikes me today is the analogy between what is happening on a global scale between Google and China and what takes place daily on a minor scale in our companies between social media activists and central IT departments. On the one side, the people who advocate some form of freedom of speech to transfer valuable knowledge and view the company as a beehive, and on the other, the people who believe they have to control the way people actually work and view the corporate world as a machine to be automated with ERPs. Google decided to move to Hong-Kong, the same way corporate social media projects move to SaaS suppliers when corporate IT builds walls and behave like Mordac, the preventor of information services in Dilbert. It is the same political struggle, in the noble sense, and I discussed this at length in my book.
