Samhandling - Samhandling for 40 000 ansatte [digi.no : Bedriftsteknologi]

Samhandling - Samhandling for 40 000 ansatte - digi.no : Bedriftsteknologi

Et lite utdrag av artikkelen følger her:
Poenget med det virtuelle arbeidsrommet i Telenor er å gjøre det lettere for alle medarbeidere å finne ut først hvem som kan hva, dernest den mest hensiktsmessige måten å opprette kontakt på, og så ta kontakt. Folk skal altså gis teknologiske verktøy for å finne fram til kollegaer med bestemt kunnskaper, og som kan fortelle det de vet.

Ifølge Taug er dette ikke bare en øvelse i teknologi. 80 prosent av suksessen er å sette i gang prosesser for å endre innstilling og arbeidskultur. Han er samtidig tydelig på at teknologi og infrastruktur er viktig å få på plass tidlig, og at teknologi i perioder har vært 80 prosent. Hvordan bevege brukerne til å interessere seg for et virtuelt arbeidsrom og så faktisk bruke det, er imidlertid mer utfordrende enn å velge de tekniske løsningene. I tillegg er det en modningsprosess for både ansatte og ledere.

– Mentaliteten hos ledelsen var at eksperter og ledere som jobber globalt skulle få tilgang. Pilotene viste at folk brukte systemet til å arbeide. Det ble et modningsprosjekt i ledelsen. Først desember 2008 besluttet vi at WoW skulle være for alle. Topp ledelsen i Telenor har samtidig gått foran med et godt eksempel og var av de første til å erstatte et fysisk toppledermøte, med alle Telenor-selskapene, med et virtuelt møte. Dette har blitt fast rutine.

Think Communities, Not Portals! [PMP Insights]

Think Communities, Not Portals! « PMP Insights
Posted by Rich Blank, November 29, 2010

If you are planning your SharePoint 2010 upgrade and looking at redesigning the hundreds of intranet sites — stop right there! Don’t redesign, rethink your corporate intranet.

It’s time to break away from the traditional thinking of intranet “portals” and design a collaborative infrastructure around a complete “community model”. If you compare a community to the traditional portal, you may think it’s just a matter of semantics. However, the concept of a portal is a push relationship as someone is pushing content to you. Communities are social, interactive, dynamic, and provide a context for individuals to subscribe, collaborate and contribute to. Communities source information from the bottom up as well as the top down. Communities have a pull relationship — meaning the community pulls on users to contribute and users pull on the community to consume. The fact is that every piece of content and every person in your organization is part of some community whether you realize it or not. The largest and most open community is everyone in your organization and there are likely hundreds or thousands of sub-communities. Communities also provide a degree of openness in your organization. So if the information you wish to share has more defined security requirements, that’s when you manage it in a secure team site as opposed to a community.

Let’s face it — for many of us Facebook is our “portal” on the public internet and something we visit 1 or more times a day because it’s social and relevant to us personally. LinkedIn may be your “portal” into your professional life and network. Do you really need a traditional hierarchy of intranet sites and portals? Or is it more important to capture, share, and collaborate on information within the context of a community?

Google forsøgte at købe Twitter - Tech & mobil

Google og Microsoft kjemper om å kjøpe Twitter. Hvem vinner?
Google forsøgte at købe Twitter - Tech & mobil

Hvis man skal tro den amerikanske nyhedstjeneste Business Insider, så har Google tidligere i år tilbudt at købe Twitter for et sted mellem 2,5 og 4 milliarder dollar.

Både Google og Microsoft kan være interesseret i at købe Twitter for at forhindre den respektive modpart i at gøre det samme. Det kan betyde at de to selskaber vil fremsætte nye, højere tilbud for at snuppe Twitter for næsen af konkurrenten. Men meldingen om at Twitter ser de fire milliarder dollar som en ”fornærmelse” indikerer, at der skal langt flere penge på bordet hvis det sociale netværk skal skifte ejer.
