Rethinking knowledge work: A strategic approach
Knowledge workers’ information needs vary. The key to better productivity is applying technology more precisely.
In the half-century since Peter Drucker coined the term “knowledge workers,” their share of the workforce has steadily grown—and so has the range of technology tools aimed at boosting their productivity. Yet there’s little evidence that massive spending on personal computing, productivity software, knowledge-management systems, and much else has moved the needle. What’s more, a wide variety of recent research has begun suggesting that always-on, multitasking work environments are so distracting that they are sapping productivity.
A SumTotal White Paper
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the Extended Enterprise platform can help specific verticals to promote and sell their products to external audiences. In particular, it investigates the value of the Extended Enterprise solution in financial services, insurance, government, retail, manufacturing, healthcare and associations.
Systems of Engagement and The Future of Enterprise IT
Over the past decade, there has been a fundamental change in the axis of IT innovation. In prior decades, new systems were introduced at the very high end of the economic spectrum, typically within large public agencies and Fortune 500 companies. Over time these systems trickled down to smaller businesses, and then to home office applications, and finally to consumers, students and even children. In this past decade, however, that flow has been reversed. Now it is consumers, students and children who are leading the way, with early adopting adults and nimble small to medium size businesses following, and it is the larger institutions who are, frankly, the laggards.
OK, so why are we so slow to pick up the ball in business? Why do we still rely on e-mail to communicate with our employees? Why is it so hard to implement new technology? Why are our legacy systems so expensive? How do we get out from underneath all this cost?

The Formula for Project Success
We can learn a lot about project management from NASA’s race to the moon. However, successfully managing work isn’t rocket science. It begins with aligning corporate strategy and workforce execution, and includes an engaged workforce. What’s more, a successful work management approach must address the needs of everyone involved in the project management process from executive stakeholders to project managers and individual team members to be successful. Regardless of whether the projects are highly structured or prototypical and ad hoc, the right work management approach can be the formula for success in any organization.
For learn more on how to ensure project success, make plans to attend IHRIM’s Essentials for Successful Project Management on Sunday, May 15 at the Gaylord National Hotel, site of the IHRIM 2011 Conference. For more information on this course and all of the pre-conference courses, go to IHRIM 2011 Courses. You do not need to be registered for the conference to attend these courses.
Talent Edge 2020: Blueprints for the new normal
The first report of Deloitte’s new survey series Talent Edge 2020 features results from a survey that polled more than 300 global business executives across industries. The report highlights that as companies worldwide struggle to move beyond the great recession, many executives recognize the need to develop talent strategies to meet the demands of the ‘new normal’. With trends such as globalization and the aging workforce gaining traction during recession, global talent leaders are now focused on finding the right balance between economic realities and investment requirements as they position their companies for success in the next decade.
As companies worldwide struggle to move beyond the great recession of 2009, many business leaders are adjusting their talent strategies to meet the shifting demands characterized as the “new normal.” While the inclination may be strong to revert to strategies that served them well prior to the economic crisis, many executives seem to recognize that the forces shaping future talent needs, such as globalization and an aging workforce, continued to accelerate during the downturn and now require new talent strategies to position their companies for success.
Social Media Policies: An Introduction
Why care about a social media policy? Despite what some people say, rules still apply when it comes to social media. Some of those rules may be similar to those you already have in your organization; others may be different. Policies provide structure –for you and for your colleagues/employees.
Sophos Security Threat Report 2011
Report Reveals Significant Increase in Social Networking Security Threats
We will remember 2010 as a year in which our interaction with technology—and with each other—evolved because of the widespread adoption of social media and the use of innovative mobile computing devices. We are dependent on smart devices—just ask anyone who has lost their iPhone or BlackBerry. And whether you’re using a mobile device or a laptop or desktop computer, you’re likely to use social networks more than ever.
This new technology changes the way we communicate with our friends, colleagues and customers. This not only revolutionizes the way we live our lives, but also blurs the lines that define the way we run our businesses and use and share information.
Today, users are the content. Driving the growth, and at the same time being driven by it, the explosion in mobile computing is expanding the impact of the social web. And, the way that content is shared and accessed is now the core of a new global culture, affecting and combining the spheres of personal and business life.
Reshaping HR Service Delivery for a New World Order
Following the release of their HR Service Delivery Report, four Towers Watson consultants discuss the initiatives companies are undertaking to improve HR service delivery, how effective they are, and the top HR service delivery priorities now and for the years ahead.
