75% of businesses to use social collaboration tools in 2013!... will you be on this collaboration train? It's leaving, get on!
We love this. Is your organization focused on what matters?
Collaboration also demands a corporate culture that values client results over departmental efficiency or independent virtuosity. It demands a culture that rewards learning through failure and encourages people to go outside their comfort zones. This is more than most companies are willing to do. Yet experience teaches us when individuals do not have to worry about making themselves look good, they are able to concentrate on delivering meaningful and memorable brand experiences.

Thus far, social media has largely been limited to marketing and community building functions at companies. But a recent report from McKinsey showed that a majority of the estimated $1.3 trillion in untapped value from social technologies lies in “improved communications and collaboration within and across enterprises.” In other words, social media is poised to become an office productivity tool, much the same way that email did in the late 1990s.

Are you wondering whether your organization is at risk of imploding? Fatigue can be hard to read. Negativity, however, is a leading indicator, and it's often overlooked.

A culture of transparency that’s inherent in a social organization is the best way to learn about your organization as a CEO. You see relationships that you didn’t know existed. You find pools of talent and natural alignment that you never would have discovered if you had maintained a traditional communications structure.

When leaders use less functional expertise and more leadership expertise, they engage in the psychological act of setting down the tools of the past and picking up new tools for the present.

YamJam12 x WorkSimple!
Here are just a few reasons we're super excited to be a part of YamJam '12 . Check out these tweets from the #yamjam12 tweet chat this morning. Some amazing knowledge was dropped that clearly represents Yammer and their vision for the future of work. Way awesome.
Transparency also fosters accountability. "If you're going to walk around with your shirt off, you'll probably do more sit-ups." #yamjam12

It is more than a company being social, it is about a fundamental shift in the way we lead employees to the next level. #YamJam12

Collaboration is what makes @yammer successful it’s about taking the users feedback and developing a product around that feedback #yamjam12

MyPOV: look for technology solutions that blend the best aspects of consumerization w/ enterprise class requirements #yamjam12
— R Ray Wang (@rwang0)
I'm not a fan of the terms open vs. closed or silo'd vs. transparent. I prefer to think about content/people in the right context. #yamjam12

HR Technology Conference Takeaway: Social Performance Transforming HCM
As the dust settles on the HR Technology Conference, the big takeaway is clear:
Social Performance is transformative.
Recognizing this paradigm shift, Human Capital Management (HCM) vendors are either incorporating or plan to incorporate social elements into their products. There are many different approaches to the social shift—and it’s still early in the revolution—but Social HCM is a concept that’s gaining fast momentum.
“Human capital will be defined more through the notion of community and how to manage that community. And your role in HR will be to... [read more!]
Human capital will be defined more through the notion of community and how to manage that community. And your role in HR will be to continue the connections that define that community.

Positive Feedback as a Multiplier for Progress
Dozens of volunteers took part in what they thought was an investigation into creativity. Half the study participants were given false feedback on a test of their creative potential, with their results inflated to suggest that they'd excelled. In advance of the main challenge – a series of creative insight problems – some of the participants were then taught mental contrasting: writing about how good it would feel to smash the problems, and then writing about the likely obstacles to achieving that feat, such as daydreaming.
The best performers on the insight problems were those participants who'd received the positive feedback about their potential and who'd performed mental contrasting. They out-classed their peers who'd received inflated feedback but only indulged in positive thoughts, and they outperformed those participants who'd received negative feedback (regardless of whether they, too, performed mental contrasting).
So, the next time you receive some positive feedback, don't lose your focus. Indulge yourself a little – you're on track after all – but also take time to think about the obstacles that remain, and the practical steps you'll need to enact to overcome them. The mental contrasting technique guards against complacency, ensuring the boost of your early win is multiplied into long-term success.

It’s time for organizations to focus on the what and leave the everyday decisions about how to the capable adults they’ve hired. Autonomy of this magnitude is the proven catalyst for true engagement and the highest levels of productivity.
