Co-creation

“ The people who say ‘ I can’t come because I’m at work’ are missing the point. This is work!" Lloyd Davis, Tuttle Club

Passion

” People are treated as people again. When they come to work, their colleagues are no longer talking to a person who’s doing a job. They are talking to a person who’s got emotions, a private life, a husband, kids, whatever. Social software provides a much more accurate persona." Luis Suarez, IBM

Learning

“ These days, your partners are also your customers, are also your competitors - all at the same time. It’s a much more dynamic environment.” Matt Glotzbach, Google

Openness

“ We’re a news organisation, essentially." Scott Monty, Ford

Listening

“ Consumers and line workers are the people who know how the business should run. In hierarchies you have a lot of problems. The people who are good at climbing up the career ladder, they’re good at climbing up the ladder and not much else. That’s why hierarchies are dysfunctional. Try and stay flat!” Craig Newmark, craigslist

Generosity

“ There’s a growing realisation that, in lots of cases, having less control and giving a wider access to what you’re working on, there’s a benefit: you learn from the mistakes of others just as they learn from your mistakes." James Boyle, Creative Commons

In what way do social technologies have
the potential to change the way we work
and how should traditional
organisations respond?
For example: pros and cons,
impact on the role of the leader/manager,
new responsibilities for the individual…?
