Case Study

06/06/09 High-Stake Interventions.

Productivity: You can do more for your company

Productivity: You are able to make decisions quickly… without delay

Productivity: You have access to better information

You grow
By learning from new people and different cultures

You grow: by staying closer to “best in class practices”
Being around other people who are high performers keeps you aware of “the best”

Business from Afar
People you haven’t met
Companies you have never heard of
Being comfortable with a single interaction

Who is Alison Cohen?

Using elance.com

Expanding Your Options

Transform your company with interactivity
Culture change also happens when you put in new software

Case: Email
Were you working in the early 1990’s when email was implemented?
If so, you can recall a time when electronic communication simply didn’t exist
Email has changed every single company that does business… without any help from HR

Interactive software tools transform relationships
They become ubiquitous
They level the playing field
Are you on Facebook? Are you waiting for the “fad” to pass?

Case: My Experience

Facebook in Your Company?
What would it create?
Who would start communicating with whom?

Information sharing transforms companies
Enables mobilization
People can make better decisions
An opportunity to share ideas that empower employees

Case: Obama vs. McCain

Engagement becomes a much easier task (especially with younger employees)
