A new way to define a productive worker [with Enterprise 2.0]

This slideshow is intended to show what I think productivity is in Enterprise 2.0 environment

He’s David …

… and she’s Jessica

David begins at 7am and leaves at 6pm… and his boss, really likes it that way His boss doesn’t care about what he’s doing… but he’s there !

For Jessica and her boss, hours doesn’t matter, only results are important

David lives for emails, he’s in his inbox more than 4 hours a day He has to answer instantaneously to each email

Jessica uses the appropriate tools to get the right information at the right moment She can focuses on what’s really productive

She’s using IM [instant messaging] if she wants instant answer

… a wiki to archive what would be usefull for her team

Jessica and her team are using a blog to make announcements

… and they are all using RSS feeds to keep an eye on what’s happening

David is always at his office He also often fake working

Jessica use presence detection like Twitter to show everybody what she’s doing right now

For David, information flows are hierarchical

But for Jessica, lateral connexions inside and even outside the enterprise are mainstream

Sharing is a real lever in her organization

David gets recriminations when he’s surfing too much

Jessica surfs on the web to understand the present and anticipate the future

For David, reflection and long-term planning are the rule

According to Jessica, everything changes very quickly , then she’s trying different projects and focuses on now

They won’t all succeed, but some will be incredible
