Technology has increased mobility and connectivity and is transforming the way we work. Most of today's organisational systems and process to manage talent are failing to actually stimulate learning and growth and close capability gaps; a radical overhaul is needed. Moving to an individually self-managed approach will release huge latent potential within organisations and help individuals grow and fulfil their ambitions.
ME+ will enable these changes.
The updated version is now available.
8. WORKING IN A DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT THE CHALLENGES
People need a clear understanding of their
preferred type of work and their fit with the
organisations vision and values.
Success requires people with strong
behavioural and relationship skills as well as
a deep understanding of technology.
The digital environment is rapidly changing,
uncertain and ambiguous. People who
thrive on change and can ‘make things
work’ are in high demand.
Digital environments are complex with
multiple projects and interdependencies.
An ability to join new teams (often with
diverse backgrounds and a mix of
employees and contractors) and build
rapport quickly is in demand.
Some IT environments have legacy systems
and legacy mindsets; lacking dynamism,
energy, ambition, diversity and innovation.
People who are able to infect others with
their enthusiasm and passion are highly
sought after.
Technologists are increasingly required to
assess business cases rather than develop
them, requiring a wider understanding of
the business outcomes and stakeholder
management.

16. WHY SHOULD MY ORGANISATION CARE?

[Perhaps include our @WeAreMePlus twitter handle in the opening?]
Good morning.
It’s a pleasure to be here and have the opportunity to discuss with you how digital innovation is shaping how people work, connect, learn, & behave and what the organisational response should be.
I’m Nigel Borowski and I’ve worked in HR in large corporate environment for 20 years and 3 years ago I stepped into consulting with a group called Telos partners.
Telos is made up of experienced business professionals who all share a passion for long term, sustainable success. For individuals and the organisations they work for.
I’ve got a keen personal interest in these [mobile phone] and these [go pro] and how people use them and how they can change people’s behaviour. Over the past two years I’ve been working closely with one of the best digital agencies in London on creating digital tools to do just that.
So, if we’re going to innovate to change people’s behaviours, we need to start at the right place.
It’s not about the technology, it’s about human beings
It’s not about these [mobile phones] per se, it’s about the experiences that can be created through them.
It’s about human experiences.
So, rest easy… we’re on common ground still… I’m addressing the right audience… we’re all experts in human experiences…. Aren’t we?
Let me leave that question hanging and we may come back to it
We’re in a world now of hyper-connectivity, where people are sharing their thoughts, feelings and experiences like never before. So an experience is an increasingly valueable engagement tool.
But with so much information out there, and so much noise, how do you get your voice heard? How do you get your message across? WHO are people most likely to believe?
Their friends who they’re chatting to all the time, or a sales man, or senior management?
The world of work and society in general are changing… You’ll see aspects of this in all of your organisations
The world of work and society in general are changing… You’ll see aspects of this in all of your organisations
So with all this complexity and change going on what does it mean? How do we simplify?
Well, let’s come back to Human Experiences
There are two ways to enhance human experiences
Make those we enjoy better
Make those we don’t less painful
Digital gives us opportunity to do both.
Let me share some examples
In Telos we are now working with Dare to apply this thinking throughout someone’s working life.
Do a detailed analysis of their experience through each career moment.
In today’s world of work these ‘moments’ are occurring with increased regularity
In today’s world of work these ‘moments’ are occurring with increased regularity
Explain about FDM Group’s business model and focus on graduates
A ‘gift’ to employees to show organisation’s commitment to their future development for the enhancement of their career wherever that may take them, rather than company-led for the sole purpose of adding value to the company
By 2025, 75% of the global workforce will be generation Y. They are tomorrow’s leaders and seek companies to work for who are innovative, ethical, forward-thinking and who give them a ‘voice’. Me+ increases commitment, productivity and engagement whilst ensuring employees display the right behaviours to drive the business forward for the future.
Insert ME+ benefits to FDM – present or by video?
So, I hope you’ve enjoyed our input, I’ll leave you with this thought before we open for questions.
All of what we’ve gone through is people innovation.
Innovation is key to success, if only because of how fast technology changes and is adopted
And HR is both the same as it ever was and a lot more
It’s the creation of the experience and the improvement of it
Thanks for listening. I hope we’ve got some time for questions.
[Worth mentioning at the end of the Q&A that you and your colleague João Mendes have to leave the conference just before lunch today, but João will be here again tomorrow. So do look out for him if you have further questions]
