LISTENING
There
are several paradoxes in the current overload of information showering
on us everyday, from twitter to RSS to mail to alerts on discussions we
are part of, to news, etc.
The first paradox is that we
feel overwhelmed while for most of it, this information overload's main
culprit is us because we are at the origin of the subscriptions.
The second is that in a world
of information most "senders" have not yet understood the minimum
etiquette that consists in not communicating if one has nothing to
communicate (my grand mother told me to turn my tongue seven times in
my mouth before speaking, the habit is lost even by quite prominent
personalities, Twitter just makes them look often ridiculous).
This happens with Tweets, with mail, with Blogs (why do so many
bloggers feel obliged to write every day or more! Do they really think
they have something interesting to share every day? Or do they really
mess up quantity with quality?), and with most forums. The mail, after
about 20 years of diffusion, is not yet well understood by most users
and we all tend to use the CC too extensively. The other social media
are more richer than mail and are therefore more potentially intrusive.
The future of information overload looks bright.
The third is more subtle but
more profound. Most of the progress in understanding any situation is
made via listening, thinking, synthesizing, contributing or acting on
the situation. When we suffer from this overload, we may listen well
(although it is highly debatable) but can we think? Can we make any
sense of these flows? Can we really contribute? Can we act? If not, we
all waste our time and we help others lose their time too.
I see at least three implications [...] read more...

Les Evolutions de l'Institut Boostzone
|
|
|
This quarterly newsletter also aims at informing you about the evolution of the Institute.
The Séminaire
is a success with an interesting number of themes that will be worked
on all along the academic year. Thanks to a generous sponsorship from
Manpower France, this seminar is free for members.
The Training Program for Corporate Collaboration
(it has a much better code name but we keep it secret for a while)
exclusively dedicated to help executives learn how to collaborate with
the new tools (and the old ones) is getting prepared with a senior
team. It should be ready at the end of the Winter, sorry for those
having already asked for it.
The Fellows have started, after they got the blessing from the Scientific Committee, to publish on the public site www.boostzone.fr. They are asked not to publish more than once or twice a month, you can keep your RSS on, you will not be spammed.
The Scientific Committee
members have worked on the Fellow nomination and will soon be asked to
work on some research projects that are being elaborated during the
Séminaire. They prove very helpful in guiding the Institute in
order for it to stay on track with corporate preoccupations.
The BestOf are
starting to come fresh from the press, they will help the Members reach
very quickly a common platform of knowledge or of understanding on a
number of elements like the BestOf case studies in NCM implementation, or on the corporate usages of Twitter or Linkedin.
The BestOf are the beginning
of a publication dimension the Institute is taking . We are seriously
thinking of becoming an editor of works dedicated to the world of work,
the evolution of a connected society and to the Network Centric
Management. Several Doctor thesis are already on the potential list as
well as a book on the future of the world of work.
The closed community, Le Cercle,
is reasonably active i.e. does not spam the members but gives them a
continuous flow of useful information and provides them with a regular
series of discussion topics like recently on the reality of crowd
sourcing.
The Workshops are regularly full and allow to dig in depth with a number of concepts and practical issues. Summaries are made on Le Cercle and on the public site. In some cases some internal groups are being formed to pursue the discussion.
We still keep a program of "Events"
i.e. more along a conference format than a workshop format but we try
to keep it to a minima unless we have really something original and
useful to say….

Presence, the next life changer
By
Cécile Demailly
When the Internet started in the 80’s,
globalization was unheard of and those working
in international organizations were not
“connected” across frontiers and seas. Open
questions - fewer at that time - were solved by
asking nearby in the same office, floor,
building or restaurant. Twenty years later,
technology has made everything faster and
everyone closer; to keep a business among the
leaders, collaboration is a must, real time,
across distance and frontiers.
Instant messaging (IM) arrived in the early 90’s
as an engineer’s gadget, and was rapidly adopted
as a business tool. Simple, practical, ergonomic,
cheap, it allows us to see who is ‘on’ and pass
short messages that don’t need the formality of
an email nor the interruption of a phone call.
You may use AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN
Messenger, Office Live Messenger, Reuters
Messaging, Sametime, Skype, Yahoo Messenger or
many others including in-house versions, or a
mix of those through aggregators such as Pidgin
or Trillian [...]

Réseau et organisation: n'oubliez jamais la valeur du contact en face-à-face,
By Martin de Waziers
Trois mouvements se sont récemment précipités:
1. de l'agriculture à l'industrie et au savoir,
2. du vertical au transversal et au matriciel, et
3. de l'information à la communication et au partage.
On n'a rien inventé mais seulement généralisé la pratique du réseau…
1.
Sans les outils pour faciliter cette transition, on resterait à
l'âge tribal, réseau par excellence! Il suffit de se
souvenir du premier outil de "bip social" qui permettait d'invoquer sa
"tribu".
2. Sans
les enfants pour nous montrer l'exemple avec MSN puis maintenant
FaceBook, on ne serait peut-être pas aussi poussés
à prendre au sérieux cette évolution, et la
convoitise attise son utilisation.
3. Sans
le besoin que nous avons de conserver le lien social, mis à mal
par des vies trépidantes qui nous laissent de moins en moins de
temps, on se passerait peut-être de tout cela [...]

Rypple : le 360° feed-back pour tous
By Olivier Zara
Vous
connaissez le 360° feed-back ? Il s'agit d'un processus
d'évaluation des compétences piloté par
l'entreprise à partir d'un référentiel de
compétences défini par l'entreprise. Cela peut servir
pour détecter les hauts-potentiels ou pour évaluer les
résultats sur le mode entretien annuel d'évaluation.
Rypple est un service proposant un système de feed-back auto-géré.
Voici quelques textes extraits de leur site pour comprendre le système
De quoi s'agit-il ?
"Rypple
is built on the belief that feedback leads to success. Some of
the best habits of successful people are built into Rypple. Frequent
requests for honest, direct feedback; quick, regular 1-on-1
conversations; and real actions based on this feedback that leads to
constant improvement…and success! [...]
