Early Enterprise 2.0 perspectives (circa 2005) from Stephen Danelutti of netoCiety. Essentially covers the functions of innovation and change in business transformation efforts supported by social software.
I recently gave this presentaiton at Babson Executive Education\'s Innovation 2.0 Summit. There is some interesting data from the audience on practices in measuring innovation inside.
Introductory talk given by Sharon Darwent, Head of Employee Engagement, BT at the BT Employee Engagement Talk/Knowledge Cafe held with Alex Wilson of BT, Dave Snowden of Cognitive Edge and David Gurteen of Gurteen Knowledge at the BT Tower 17th February 2009.
The Deloitte Center for the Edge conducts original research and develops substantive points of view for new corporate growth. The center, anchored in the Silicon Valley with teams in Europe and Australia, helps senior executives make sense of and profit from emerging opportunities on the edge of business and technology. Center leaders believe that what is created on the edge of the competitive landscape — in terms of technology, geography, demographics, markets — inevitably strikes at the very heart of a business.The Center for the Edge's mission is to identify and explore emerging opportunities related to big shifts that are not yet on the senior management agenda, but ought to be. While Center leaders are focused on long-term trends and opportunities, they are equally focused on implications for near-term action, the day-to-day environment of executives.

AUDIT EXERCISEWhen trying to determine the ability of the organi.docxikirkton
AUDIT EXERCISE
When trying to determine the ability of the organization to manage technology and innovation, it is important for managers to understand the firm s capabilities. Capabilities are the set of characteristics an organization possesses to facilitate and support its strategies. In the management of innovation and technology, there are a number of frameworks for determining the innovative capabilities of the organization. The Innovative Capabilities Audit Framework22 indicates five categories of variables for a business to consider. These categories are:
1. Resource availability and allocation
2. Capacity to understand competitors' strategies and industry evolution with respect to innovation
3. Capacity to understand technological developments relevant to the business
4. Structural and cultural context of the business unit affecting intrepreneurship (internal entrepreneurship)
5. Strategic capacity to deal with innovation initiatives by internal entrepreneurs
What type of information would you need to collect in each of these five areas to determine when, where, how, if, and what innovations should be undertaken in the business? Be specific and justify your answer.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Discuss the definition of technology from a strategic point of view.
2. Discuss the role of innovation in the strategic management process.
3. Define management of technology and give an example based on your knowledge.
4. Define management of innovation and give an example of how a firm can manage innovation processes.
5. Give an example of GE s management of technology and how they were able to gain a competitive advantage from those activities.
PART ONE OPENING CASE: GENERAL ELECTRIC
The GE case illustrates the changes a company can go through because of a change in technology and innovation. What changes in technology do you think GE has undertaken? In process? In product? What type of innovation do you think these changes illustrate (see Figure 1.4)

APPENDIX 1 Social Responsibility and Management of Technology and Innovation
This appendix discusses social responsibility and managing technology and innovation. In recent years, societys expectations of business have changed. Society expects that firms will act in the public interest rather than focus on maximizing profits at any cost. The expectations that firms will act to benefit society will continue in the future and in fact will be expected to become even stronger.1 As a result the social issues surrounding either internal innovation or externally obtaining technology will increase both the complexity of technology management and the impact on firm performance. Thus, by considering social issues, managers may not only impact the firms ...

Early Adopters Rapidly persuaded, especially by early success. Likely to want to adapt change proposals to own circumstances. Early Majority Want to see tangible outcomes to change proposals. Not convinced merely by idea or principle. Late Majority Follow powerful person when agree and support change ideas. Commitment centered on political calculation. Resistors (Laggards) Predictable, Need considerable evidence – more vivid and directly observable, the better – before they can be mobilized. Relatively risk adverse.

Organizational change occurs when an organization restructures resources to increase the ability to create value and improve effectiveness. Change is prevalent. In the past 10 years, over 50 percent of all Fortune 500 companies have undergone significant restructuring.
Can cause dependence on staff groups and consultants Means are inconsistent with espoused ends - they are top down and do not encourage local leadership Do not encourage an organizational conversation and learning about real underlying problems - Business Organizational Unclear strategy, values and conflicting priorities Leadership style - tops down or laissez faire An Ineffective top team Poor coordination Closed vertical communication Inadequate leadership/management skills and development in organization
Human on left side (more participative) and technical on right side (less participative)
What triggered the change? What was the change? What worked and did not work? A change requires a combination of two things: start doing some new activities and stop doing some old activities
PESTEL stands for P olitical, E conomic, S ocial, T echnical, E nvironment and L egislative. It is a strategic planning technique that provides a useful framework for analysing the environmental pressures on a team or an organisation A PESTEL Analysis can be particularly useful for groups who have become too inward-looking. They may be in danger of forgetting the power and effect of external pressures for change because they are focused on internal pressures. Help people make their assumptions explicit Important to look forward and at future impact of envtal factors which may be different from past impact. Usually will be combined effect of some of these separate factors that will be important rather than any single factor Plays role in focusing organizations on choices open to them and the constraints and risks involved in these choices. Political – threat of terrorism, Economic – unemployment levels Social – demographic changes Tech – development of new/subst products Environmental – antipollution Legal – antitrust Where is the business going in the next 3 to 5 years? • What technologies are emerging and how will (could) they change the business model? • Where is your competition headed in the future? • Where do your employees wish or need to go in the future? Which of the below are of most importance now? Which are likely to be most important in a few years? What are the factors influencing any changes?
PESTEL-analysis is a tool – not a key.
The interesting thing is that this new generation of workers is huge and is even larger than the babyboomers and in fact in the US, 56 mln are old enough to be employees with 7 million already managers. Those that are 38 and younger are the gamers and those that are 28 years and younger are the net-generation and we now have a new generation that is entering the workforce that has grown up with mobile phones. These generations have a different outlook on work, learning, and play. On the right hand side, we have individuals with a high degree of company loyalty and in which there was a clear line between work and one’s personal or social life and play was something to be done only in one’s free time. However, in these new generations we have individuals who are more loyal to their peers and their professions – choosing to mix their working life with their personal life while also not seeing such a clear line between work and play. And anyway, who ever said that we cannot combine work and play? danah boyd: Unlike adults, who are relearning how to behave in public because of networked technologies, teens are simply learning how to behave in public with networked publics in mind. Other notes The new generation is huge - 90 million people in USA alone Larger than baby boomers 81% of US business population ≤ age 34 are gamers 56 million old enough to be employees 7 million already managers Points: we are looking at a wave of Digital Natives that are already in our workforce. That design of learning will in large part be for some portion of these 90 million americans, not to mention the internationals. 38 years old and younger – they are the gamers. 28 years old and younger – these are the net-generation, having grown up with the internet always being there. These are people for whom the technology has always been available to provide them with engaging experiences, connections beyond the realm of their home towns to people and information that otherwise would never have been available or accessible.
The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years. It’s predicted to double every 72 hours by 2010.

Regarded Business As Usual Inadequate communication to people NOT impacted Unclear roles & responsibilities The cadence/ mode of operation / management system does not reflect the new set-up Not letting go of the old ... front line => unclear accountability
start doing some new activities and stop doing some old activities This requires everyone understand their new roles & responsibilities & new targets Else it only bring added workload => stress => no credit for work not needed Duck..they have been to a conference…here we go again!

Zoë van Zwanenberg Scottish Leadership Foundation The Management Tasks Exterior, empirical, objective systems Require good management skills focused on people, processes and resources. The WHAT of change The Leadership challenge Create the culture Model the behaviours Live the values Inspire, motivate stimulate and support the people The HOW of change
Three steps Prepare Implement Manage
Stability forces Institutionalism – way things are done around here, of current practices Transaction costs –employee stability Sustained advantage – organizational relationships Organizational social capital – trust among co-workers Predictability and uncertainty reduction – the need for these may inhibit change. A necessary prerequisite for a successful change However, organizations and people are complacent Better what you know then what you don’t know Change creates uncertainty Change is perceived as a “zero sum” Often reactive and not proactive “If it ain’t broken don’t fix it” Too much fat (resources, profits)
Overcoming Complacency A compelling need has to be developed and shared Visible Crises catch peoples’ attention and drive up the urgency levels e.g. GM Create a rivalry – What are your arch competitors doing? Slim down resources Create dissatisfaction with the status quo Benchmark operations Diagnose internal barriers to performance
Power & Credibility : to legitimize change (critical mass); Ability to reward/confront Pain &Sacrifice: : Personal Stake; Pursue change despite personal price Expertise: Informed & intelligent decision making Public / Private Role : Commitment and ability to support change publicly/ meet privately with agents Pitfalls: Avoid those who create mistrust or put their own immediate interests above the greater goal
Can use this to look at one organizational unit, this picture shows the programmers of the stockholm office of one IT multinational. See that well-connected. Good knowledge flows here as well. The Icon Stockholm programmer community was very well connected, indicating a high degree of knowledge flow. But I use this example, bc want to illustrate key players in this network. They are the central connectors. Central information source for everyone in network. In most cases, these individuals are not formally designated go-to people in unit. Provide help or pointers to others if can’t help. In many cases these individuals are high performers. Interestingly when we showed this picture to management, they knew of three of these but the fourth one was a total surprise. Interesting bc this person was different from mgt, woman programmer. Challenge with these individuals is that even though recognized by their colleagues, often their efforts go unrecognized and unrewarded, yet spend a good amount of time filling this task. Organizations use different kinds of rewards, nominated for best helper, one example is bank that changed its bonus scheme rewarded individuals for their ability to improve communication within unit, to be connectors based on evaluations by fellow employees. McK in semi-annual evaluation process. Mostly positive roles but these individuals can also play power games, using connecting role for private benefit, pitting networks against each other, hoarding information. Sometimes even people just overloaded . Found that this person was a bottleneck, while many people went to this person for help, could not help everyone, so people frustrated. Think about how design teams or redesign jobs, rotating people also. One organization conducted analysis and restaffed teams combining members of both networks. If overloaded, can implement mailing lists, discussion boards to try to reduce workload on central connector
Visions need to be top down since that is where the strategic direction come from Vision gives a sense of direction and motivation Acts as a coordination mechanism between different parts of the organization as well as outside of the organization However, the vision needs to be accepted Develop a vision in a participative nature Kotter (1996) suggest 6 characteristics of an effective vision: V ision : Develop, articulate and communicate a shared vision of the desired change that is: Imaginable – Creates a Picture Desirable – Appeals to the long-term interest Feasible – Realistic & Attainable Focused – Clearly guides decisions Flexible – Allows for changing conditions Communicable – Successfully explained in 5 min.
Communicating the vision in order for people to understand the present situation and future state Communicate the means in which to obtain the vision Keep it Simple; Lose the Jargon Create Verbal Pictures Multiple Forums; Repetition Lead by Example; Your Behavior Speaks Explain the Appearance of Inconsistencies 2- Way: Listen as Well as Share Perception is that people know the vision, but don’t really, vision communication is only one small % of total communication
Is there organizational alignment? Are the structures congruent with the change? How is politics managed? How is non-compliance dealt with? Does the culture allow for changes? What about the HR systems and procedures? Do people have the necessary skills and training to carry out the change? How about resources? Sponsors : Senior management leaders - the driving force of change - must walk the walk. Advocates : Allies of leaders, deploy the vision - communicate - involve - sell – MOTIVATE the masses. Agents: Influence sponsors’ commitment, target resistance, measure readiness, assess existing people/structures Targets : Everyone in organization - develop, train, reinforce, support
Planning for visible improvements in performance, or “wins” to show that change is possible and positive Create those wins Visibly recognizing “winners” & overcome resistance Make obtainable, visible, unambiguous targets related to change Communicate the wins Show that sacrifices are worth it – “No pain, no gain” Work the network to build momentum and keep people on board Use dialogue to convince non-believers Visibly recognizing and rewarding those people who made the wins possible – create heroes Build a winning culture Plan for and create regular “wins” Recognizing and rewarding people who facilitate the “wins” Momentum is building, less resistance You get what you reward
Begin small and roll these in to something bigger Build momentum… Additional and larger change projects Increase scope of change - use increased credibility to change more systems, structures, and policies that don’t fit together and/or don’t fit the vision. Hire, promote and develop people who can implement the change vision Reinvigorating the process with new projects, themes and change agents But, know the network and the interconnections Increase resources Have senior management lead through clarifying the vision and keeping the sense of urgency Eliminate interdependencies Use increased credibility to change other systems that don’t fit the vision Hire, promote, and develop people who implement the change vision Reinvigorate the process with new projects, themes, and change agents Don’t let up
ANCHORING NEW APPROACHES IN THE CULTURE Culture is a double edged sword ie. The culture that promotes change can also hinder change Change often requires a new or change in organizational culture Culture is difficult to change Results need to come first and this has to be embedded into the organizations “way of doing things” Steering organizational culture is like running in front of a moving bus and yelling stop! What kind of culture is required to support the vision? Changing culture is much more than symbols. Culture permeates who is recruited, promoted, rewarded, organizational structures, as well as power structures. May involve turnover. Maintain clear focus. Cultural change comes last, not first. Embrace resistance. Respect those who resist. Shared throughout firm, Both product and process, Influences how business is conducted

The sponsor should be some one who is involved in and has experience of the issue or challenge you will focus on for the Live Project The sponsor should be able to support you by helping you get access to the people and information you might need to help complete the project. The sponsor should also act as a sounding board for your thoughts and ideas as well as some one who can give you feedback when you implement your plans.

Prioritize Your Stakeholders Where do stakeholders place the project? High Use to recruit appropriate team members Change management requires to manage impacted stakeholders with a vested interest in the change and ensuring non impacted vested stakeholders know they are not impacted High power, interested people: these are the people you must fully engage and make the greatest efforts to satisfy. High power, less interested people: put enough work in with these people to keep them satisfied, but not so much that they become bored with your message. Low power, interested people: keep these people adequately informed, and talk to them to ensure that no major issues are arising. These people can often be very helpful with the detail of your project. Low power, less interested people: again, monitor these people, but do not bore them with excessive communication. Can you add new stakeholders to change balance? Can you get oppositional stakeholders to leave? Can you increase influence pro-change stakeholders Can influence antagonists be decreased?

Prioritize Your Stakeholders Where do stakeholders place the project? High Use to recruit appropriate team members Change management requires to manage impacted stakeholders with a vested interest in the change and ensuring non impacted vested stakeholders know they are not impacted High power, interested people: these are the people you must fully engage and make the greatest efforts to satisfy. High power, less interested people: put enough work in with these people to keep them satisfied, but not so much that they become bored with your message. Low power, interested people: keep these people adequately informed, and talk to them to ensure that no major issues are arising. These people can often be very helpful with the detail of your project. Low power, less interested people: again, monitor these people, but do not bore them with excessive communication. Can you add new stakeholders to change balance? Can you get oppositional stakeholders to leave? Can you increase influence pro-change stakeholders Can influence antagonists be decreased? If too strong, should revisit change proposal?
start doing some new activities and stop doing some old activities This requires everyone understand their new roles & responsibilities & new targets Else it only bring added workload => stress => no credit for work not needed Duck..they have been to a conference…here we go again!

From Star and Griesemer (1989), boundary objects have several important properties: Boundary Objects Brian Marick [email_address] www.testing.com, www.visibleworkings.com If x is a boundary object, people from different communities of practice can use it as what Chrisman (XXX) calls a COMMON POINT OF REFERENCE for conversations. They can all agree they're talking about x . But the different people are not actually talking about the same thing. They attach DIFFERENT MEANINGS to x . For example, a story card that says "allow alpha chars in customer ID field" might be, to a programmer, a reminder to change class definitions and update a database schema. To the business expert, it might represent an enabling step in merging the operations of two companies. People use boundary objects as a MEANS OF COORDINATION AND ALIGNMENT (Fischer and Reaves 1995). Story cards are a tool XP projects use to align what the programmers build with what the business expert wants. Despite different interpretations, boundary objects serve as a MEANS OF TRANSLATION. If it becomes important that the programmer understand more about business operations being merged, the story card can be used to smooth the process of explanation (for example, by delving more deeply into the meaning of the words on the card). Boundary objects are PLASTIC enough to adapt to changing needs. And change they do, as communities of practice cooperate. Boundary objects are WORKING ARRANGEMENTS, adjusted as needed. They are not imposed by one community, nor by appeal to outside standards (Bowker and Star 1999). The boundary object must satisfy DIFFERENT CONCERNS SIMULTANEOUSLY. In agile projects, the brief task descriptions and the conversation around them satisfies the business expert that something of actual business value will soon be produced while also satisfying the programmers that they are not committing to do more than they can.
