Social technologies like microblogging and social networking are being used internally by companies to dramatically speed the flow of work. But you need large-scale adoption to get business results that make a difference. This paper provides a blueprint to drive the large-scale adoption of a social software solution, so you get results that are noticed.
According to Gartner, 70% of social implementations fail because they lack a business purpose. When it comes to harnessing the power of social software, a focus on business value is required. This whitepaper defines a strategic framework for gaining business value from social software. It outlines six successful rollout strategies. Each of the six approaches delivers different business results, and has a different level of risk. And most importantly, each has different requirements to succeed. To be successful with social software, you need to choose the rollout strategy that is best for your organization, and understand its requirements for success.

Social software lets employees connect and share in new ways, and can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your organization. But social technologies like microblogging, social networking, automated activity feeds, social spreadsheets, wikis, etc. are new to most organizations, and most IT departments don’t have experience with how to successfully implement them.
Success with social software involves a lot more than simply finding the product that best fits your needs. It involves framing the problem appropriately in the first place, defining your business goals, and choosing a rollout methodology designed to meet those goals. It involves selling your CFO, changing behavior across your organization, and more.

TELESPAZIO PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL 1
Telespazio Performance Appraisal Development
Overview
A performance appraisal or review is a method used by an organization to evaluate and document the work performance of their employees. It is an important aspect of career development, and it involves frequent employee performance reviews in the organization. Telespazio is a spaceflight services company, which developed a dual employee appraisal system in 2005. The system aimed to plan the organizational change through support of employee management like compensation, mobility, rewards, training, and career advancement to continue to keep the company going. The system was electronic which enables support values such as transparency, common objective definitions, giving observable behaviors and sharing (Dessler, 2014). The dual system aimed at ensuring that the company promotes employee professional development and attains positive result feedback. The system evaluates the employee performance in comparison with the objectives and competence skills. This paper will examine the Telespazio performance appraisal system focusing on appraisal methods, proposed strategies, and an appraisal tool.
Current Appraisal Methods
Currently, the appraisal approach, which Telespazio uses, is called Telespazio Performance Appraisal for Development (TPAD). This system supports employee compensation, rewards, training and career advancement. It promotes transparency, common objective definitions, and focusing on competencies and roles (Profili et al., 2014). This procedure is an avenue for employee training and development to ensure growth also allowing employees to deal with upcoming challenges, which is a strategy to strengthen the company workforce. TPAD is a fair system because it the process begins with the employees and manager listing endeavors, skills and their objectives for the following year. The evaluated skills in the process differ in each position. The process helps the company identify employee roles through determination of the different employee's skills and knowledge. It then matches the skills in roles where they are most appropriate.
The company mainly uses the 360 feedback and management by objectives (MBOs) systems to appraise their employees. The management by objectives system allows the employees and managers recognize the employee goals, which are later used to measure performance. The MBOs are used to evaluate work progress quarterly, which is an important tool in improving employee productivity. The 360-feedback system uses the employees from all organizational levels who interact with the employee being appraised. It opens gives a chance for employees to be part of the appraisal process, and it is a fair and transparent process (Peacock, 2015). The appraisal uses three levels to rate the employee performance. The levels are unsatisfactory; improvement needed and mee.

Original article from the Flevy business blog can be found here:
http://flevy.com/blog/sap-and-change-management/
As a “seasoned” Change Manager, I have been involved in many diverse projects focusing on managing the business aspect of technology implementations; e.g. ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), Core Banking Systems, Business Intelligence, Case Working and Knowledge Management solutions, and the like.
To this day, I continue to be asked why is there a need to have involvement from a Change Manager, because a technology implementation “is what it is” and once implemented, the business should just be able to “get on and work with it.” But, it’s not quite as simple as that, because if you break down the impact of a technology implementation on a business, it would go something like this:
• It will change the way a business operates.
• Key stakeholders will want and need to be involved and communicated with.
• Processes will change.
• Organisation structures will change.
• The readiness of the business will need to be measured to ensure a smooth go-live.
• There will be a need to train and educate people in new ways of working.
• Business benefits as set out in the business case will need to be tracked.
• Once people gain competence with the new technology they should be encouraged to continuously improve ways of working into the future.
That sounds very simple, but actually it’s not, because all of these things involve people and they will need to have their expectations and perceptions managed.
Technology implementations aimed at making an organisation more efficient have become larger and more critical in recent years and now represent a major challenge for organisations. Despite improved technical functionality and reliability there are still project overruns, delays and sometimes downright failure. Research continues to show that between 30% and 70% of technology implementations either fail to meet their targeted benefits or stall and/or overrun. Problems are typically not related to the system or to technical issues surrounding the software but instead are often due to business related issues. One of the main reasons cited for this failure rate is that projects are usually managed from a technical perspective by Project Managers who are driven by milestones and deliverables but lack the necessary “soft skills” to deal effectively with the people side of change.

This person is none other than Oprah Winfrey, a highly influential figure whose impact extends beyond television. This article will delve into the remarkable life and lasting legacy of Oprah. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance, compassion, and firm determination.
1. Initiating a Performance Discussion
Although traditional performance reviews with broad-based ratings are becoming a thing
of the past, according to a 2016 Deloitte study, titled, Meta Analysis Research Paper,
“Employee engagement is still a headline issue throughout business and HR. An
overwhelming majority in this year’s survey (85%) ranked engagement as a top priority
(that is important or very important).
The article goes on to describe a new wave of engagement, “Building a compelling
and meaningful work environment is a complex process. At the same time, the world of
employee engagement and feedback is exploding. Annual engagement surveys are being
replaced by “employee listening” tools such as pulse surveys, anonymous social tools,
and regular feedback check-ins by managers. All these new approaches and tools have
given rise to the “employee listening” officer, an important new role for HR.”
With only 46 percent of the surveyed companies responding that they are “prepared to
tackle the engagement challenge,” what does that mean for the rest of us?
2. There have been many numerous articles written on the “new wave” of performance
evaluations. And, by now, it should be expected that everyone would have adopted a new
way of measuring their employees’ performance. But, what we have found is this:
Although annual evaluations are painful…….change is even more painful. A 2014 study
in the Strategy + Business journal noted that employees often react so poorly to being
graded………. that they are “intensely inclined to ignore feedback, pushback against
stretch goals and reject the example of positive role models.”
After years of doing it wrong, your managers may be throwing up their arms and
choosing to say as little as possible just to avoid the pain.
With the new wave of performance management tools, HR professionals are able to
leverage a manager’s weekly or monthly conversation into a workforce evaluation based
on business outcomes. The process has become much more standardized with
Performance Process templates that help managers get through the uncomfortable part of
evaluating performance. Using templates provides opportunities to coach, praise and even
begin those dreaded Performance Improvement conversations. The use of Performance
Process templates, will also lead to stronger predictors of overall success as well as
predictors of attrition risks.
Technology Has the Potential to Make Tracking Clearer
In nearly every industry in every country, personnel are engaging with technology more
often. From email and company forums to messaging services and apps, enterprise
software is facilitating more conversations across more avenues than ever before.
What that means for performance management is that there’s a significant vein of data
available to tap to evaluate long-term progress. As everyone is enabled to interact with
3. more technology, online systems become easier to use and maintain. This applies to both
management and employees who are better able to navigate through online forms with
greater understanding supported by intuitive tools embedded within the system.
Without a platform to gather disparate data, analysis is not always available because the
information is on so many unique systems. That means performance reviews and
calibrations still maintain a manual element that is tedious and leaves the potential for
human error. Calculations derived purely by people also create room for biased reviews
that can be based on relationships between the manager and employee, as opposed to
their actual performance.
These concerns are being addressed by new technologies using Performance Review
templates.
Problem Solving Through Modern Performance Review Templates
Employee appraisal is still a necessary HR tool to monitor and manage the health of an
organization. However, the practice of “rank and yank” performance scoring leading to
the dismissal of everyone scoring in the bottom quadrant is quickly being replaced by
frequent coaching tools that aid in retention, identification of hidden skills and even
recruitment.
Small businesses and major corporations alike are ending the rank and yank practice,
largely to address workforce unhappiness and the challenges of the Millennial employee.
Even GE, one of the largest proponents of ranking systems that compared all employees
relative to their peers, has ended its annual review program for its roughly 300,000
employees. Adobe, Microsoft, Accenture and many more have already following suit.
Most of the outdated ranking processes are being replaced by a modern set of
performance review templates that promote consistent check-ins, coaching on-the-go and
collaboration. Companies that have thrown out old practices are now empowered by the
new technology available to employees and managers during their daily routines.
This guide provides you with a look at ways Performance Check-In Templates can be put
into practice and set to use.
4. A Closer Look
Performance Check-In templates, like the Netflix or PPP (Progress, Plans and
Problems Methodology) models, have taken on the look and feel of emails and
Web forms that most employees are familiar with today. Sticking to short and
simple layouts, they can quickly help both an employee and manager gauge
performance on an ongoing basis while addressing short-term and long-term
goals.
Implementation of this process is typically straightforward thanks to email and digital
calendars. You can set employee check-in options and send out automatic reminders to
ensure that employees and their managers check-in when appropriate.
Performance reviews give you a way to evaluate employees against the overall
workforce. Providing feedback options lets you know how an employee feels about their
current situation through self assessment. Employees are also able to ask for feedback or
raise concerns anonymously. Check-in templates create coaching moments while
empowering supervisors with options to solve unforeseen bottlenecks as, or before, they
occur.
A digital record of these reports and employee requests not only helps HR to address
concerns, but makes it easier to elicit assistance from someone beyond the immediate
manager. The burden is taken off of the employee, so that their effort is focused on
improving, not learning who and how to ask about it.
Coaching and Living Documents
Performance check-in templates are typically structured in a way that emphasizes positive
interaction and coaching. They can do this simply, but effectively, by employees asking:
What do I need to stop doing?
What do I need to start doing?
What do I need to continue doing?
…….instead of asking what am I doing wrong?
Coaching is a continuous process of providing feedback and encouraging outstanding
performance as well as coaching someone for improvement. By keeping this discussion in
5. a positive light, employees are empowered to take control of the changes and better
manage their own behaviors and outcomes.
Provide your fleet of supervisors and managers templates that encourage positive
interactions and support ongoing coaching opportunities. Using performance review
templates initiate dialog by creating clear expectations for performance. When you
provide a performance management system that focuses on coaching, by making
imbedded tools available to spark ongoing dialogue, employees are less likely to be
surprised about their need for improvement. And like every team, whether it's football or
your customer service department, coaching is necessary for everyone, including those
team members who continue to win week after week. Coaching templates provide an
excellent tool to reinforce the performance of your high potentials.
Optimizing the Review Process with KPISOFT
Bridging all of these new changes and informational needs into the modern HR
department are brands like KPISOFT, which provides a core structure to show employees
how they are progressing toward specific goals in a meaningful way.
Improve Employee Relationships
Performance review templates from KPISOFT encourage your leadership and HR teams
to provide positive, constructive criticism. This structure helps employees receive goal-
oriented reviews that translate into specific, achievable actions.
When KPISOFT templates were adopted by a leading Asian multi-national corporation
(MNC), the brand was able to achieve an 85% positive feedback benchmark in all
employee surveys.
Turn Reviews into KPI Tools
Templated, consistent processes make it easier for reviews to meet four of the key pillars
of strong performance management: alignment, coaching, collaboration, and calibration.
Alignment is more than just streamlining the process. Review templates use multiple
metrics throughout the year, linking employees to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
relevant to the specific business goals and organizational strategies.
6. Coaching on-the-go through a digital review process ensures that physical barriers don’t
prevent the process from continuing. KPISOFT provides multiple tools to facilitate the
interaction, allowing organizations to have performance data available in real-time. The
coaching experience is reinforced by the consistent interaction resulting from the use of
templates that help keep performance goals in a positive light. This provides management
with the ability to identify and solve issues that multiple employees face, thereby
improving morale.
Collaboration of the data using a centralized reporting system allows HR managers to
create a 10,000-foot view of their organization. Platforms from KPISOFT facilitate
analysis that can lead to better data-driven business decisions and insights.
One benefit of a single platform is that it provides a more holistic evaluation of your
workforce. Ranking, grouping, and sorting functions that critique the workforce serve as
tools available to look for areas of improvement.
Simple sharing of reviews and information with appropriate supervisors provides HR
professionals and managers with the ability to check-in and understand employee
performance changes, improvements, and newly identified needs. Creating
standardization across all processes allows calibration to occur…..no matter how many
employees, how many departments or how many locations.
Calibration is essentially the ability to rank groups based on data, independent of the
individuals who take down that information. An easier, more effective review process is
possible even when there is turnover in all areas of management, thanks to a system that
maintains information and uses data to track goals, meaning there’s always a reference
point.
