1) Smart companies are combining traditional and agile practices to increase business value by using more plan-driven methods for elements high in criticality and stability, and agile methods for elements high in volatility.
2) The BA role is not going away in an agile world because many projects do not fit the agile "sweet spot" and BAs provide value as facilitators, problem-solvers, and producers of documentation.
3) Traditional BA techniques like functional decomposition, scenarios and use cases, and requirements workshops can improve agile-inspired projects by achieving a deep understanding of problems and managing conflicts collaboratively.
Clorox decided to pursue open innovation in 2000 to lead in innovation as competitors grew larger. This required changing its culture from internally-focused to open to external ideas. Key changes included overhauling innovation processes and systems to source ideas externally and form strategic supplier partnerships. As a case study, Clorox's disinfecting wipes were developed through open innovation by partnering with a supplier to obtain nonwoven technology enabling a package that encouraged consumer reuse. Open innovation impacted Clorox's product development across technical, consumer and business considerations and required new collaboration skills and ways of working.

What needs to be done before getting started in social mediaEdelman Japan
The document provides guidance on preparing for social media by establishing the necessary foundations. It recommends:
1. Training employees on social media best practices through a certification program tailored for different audiences.
2. Understanding the target audience by analyzing conversations, behaviors, and demographics to inform engagement strategies.
3. Developing rules of engagement that establish social media policies, decision trees for moderating content, and crisis response processes tailored for each market.
4. Transforming into a social business by defining it as bridging external and internal connections, and implementing supporting people, processes, and platforms across the entire organization to drive deeper engagement and innovation.
As businesses strive to increase competiveness in the new world economy, management can’t afford to waste their budget on one-size-fits-all packages. Training that’s poorly suited to learners’ needs falls flat. Competency-based training, in contrast, leverages existing skills, provides custom training for learners on the job and comes far closer to alignment with corporate goals. In this article, learn how you can renovate your workforce with training that zeros in on employee roles, areas of expertise and functional competencies.
The document provides guidance on transitioning instructor-led training (ILT) to blended learning. It recommends conducting a needs assessment to evaluate learners, objectives, and business needs. Content is then "chopped" down and grouped into smaller "chunks" based on objectives or other logical structures. Each chunk is then "challenged" to determine the most effective learning strategy using various delivery methods like e-learning, virtual instructor-led training, or collaboration to match the type of learning. The process culminates in "changing" the materials by selecting appropriate tools and technologies to integrate the chunks into a blended solution with a consistent learner experience and logical flow.

Too often, many companies and business personnel overlook the significance
of standards. Standards use the expertise of the industry and the profession to
establish benchmarks for best practice. When properly implemented,
optimization of resources—human and technological—is at the core of
standards.

Standards
Standards Organizations
Do you recognize any of these logos? They belong to just a few of the standards organizations for our
industry.
Standards are guidelines and processes that establish the "recommended" approach to a task or activity.
Industries agree on standards relevant to their products and services, and these benchmarks evolve over
time.
The World Standards Services Network (WSSN) functions as a clearinghouse for standards. It provides a
more comprehensive definition of "standard":
"[A standard is a] document, established by consensus and approved
by a recognized body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules,
guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the
achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context."
How familiar are you with your industry’s standards? There are many good benefits to employing them
within your organization.

Benefit 1: Standards facilitate optimal products.
When employees have standards to follow, they can focus on the task at hand. They can produce product instead of troubleshooting product. By
implementing industry standards, they can use a process that has already been tested, refined, and known to yield results.
Without standards, employees spend time solving recurring problems.
Productivity falls.
Benefit 2: Standards promote participation, coherence and
consensus.
Incorporating a valid standard takes input—vertically and horizontally—
within an organization. This can improve employee and
interdepartmental relationships, because the process requires teamwork
and consensus.
Benefit 3: Standards encourage ongoing evaluation and
improvement.
Standards are not meant to be a straitjacket approach to conducting
business. Solid standards are flexible enough to grow with a company
and its employees. Since standards stem from numerous real-world
experiences, they naturally evolve with technology and employee
ingenuity.

Benefit 4: Standards are rapidly becoming a necessity.
In a marketplace that is increasingly global, standards can give a company competitive advantage. Employing standards can also increase a
business's productivity and profitability.
Benefit 5: Standards are a strategic choice.
Standards are not meant to be a straitjacket approach to conducting
business. Solid standards are flexible enough to grow with a company
and its employees. Since standards stem from numerous real-world
experiences, they naturally evolve with technology and employee
ingenuity.
Your company has a choice regarding standards.
You can ignore standards: Stratify the work
environment and create a setting where employees
busily invent and re-invent tasks and procedures within
their limited sphere of influence. This lack of
standards can be costly.
Or, you can use standards to your fullest advantage:
Openly assess your business activities, encouraging
knowledge transfers among departments and
supporting the development and implementation of
applicable standards. Standards are a strategic
choice.
