Description |
Bay Area Business Executives Meetup Group
If the Collaborative Enterprise will suffer a fate similar to Social Business then measurement won’t matter. After all, most pundits, gurus, and experts will tell you that measuring performance is not important in Social Business – it is an imperative to become social, thus performance, control, and measurement are not important. Since we are going to become a social business – whether we want it or not – focusing on measuring results and performance is futile. Needs to be done!
The vast majority of business people don’t agree with that idea; but until now it was hard to propose an alternative model.
Measurement in business is critical for many different reasons beyond justification of the tool or technology being implemented – but the core principle of doing any technology or strategy implementation is to ensure that there is progress: improvement, reduction, increases, faster, better, slower, different are all relevant labels to assign to business processes.
However, there are very few entities that have done this with considerable success and shared it. John Hagel, the New York Times bestselling author of Power of Pull, and Deloitte’s Center for the Edge did just that, and published a report recently comparing and contrasting before and after metrics and measurement strategies at two organizations that began to collaborate. The study is quite interesting not only in what it shows, but also the methodology that advocates.
Join John Hagel and Esteban Kolsky will host a fireside chat on March 18th, 2011 at 6:30 PM at Samovar Conference Hall in Mountain View. Join them to hear John explain firsthand how the project came about, what went into creating the methodology, results, and conclusions – but more importantly to hear how:
· What is the role of measurement in the success or failure of becoming a Social Business?
· How can any organization become a social business?
· What lessons can any organization learn from the early pioneers doing the work at the leading edge of Social Business?
· Is collaboration truly the future of Business?
· What is a good roadmap to measure success in collaboration and Social Business?
These, and many more questions from the audience, will be answered on an exclusive, intimate one-on-one that will allow audience members the change to ask their questions and learn from the experience of the leading expert in the field.
