DESCRIPTION
A talk I gave at the Somesso London Conference in May 2009 about how we can take forward the idea of social business design to finally move beyond the legacy Twentieth-Century model of corporate structureTRANSCRIPT
Designing twenty-first century organisations with social toolsLee Bryant, May 2009
The Twentieth Centurycompany is still with us
the post-industrial society of the C20th
mass production, marketing, segmentation
culture of the “modern” corporation
Weberian bureaucracy
culture of the “modern” corporation
Weberian bureaucracy Industrial Revolution
culture of the “modern” corporation
Weberian bureaucracy Industrial Revolution Taylorism
culture of the “modern” corporation
welcome to the “IT” Department
CRM: we do not value you or your call
The Twentieth Century company does not trust its staff or its customers
It was not always like this
traditional trading networks
guilds, professions and networks
even banking used to be a profession
...before it descended into plunder
the Twenty-First Century company will be more modern and more traditional
scale-free networks are old & reliable
lesson of social web : trust breeds trust

social networks + weak ties = organisational immune system
trust is cheaper than control
network-centric managementis more robust than the org chart
we can no longer afford thehigh-friction, high-cost model
of process over people
downturn is our impetus for change
time to move beyond ‘doing projects’ and turn this into the mainstream
time for social business design?
what do we need #1 :stop handing over all projects
involving technology to the IT dept.
what do we need #2 :connected infrastructure

what do we need #3 :mobilise your people
No point being open at the edges...
... if you treat your staff like machines
what do we need #4 :evolutionary processes,
not ‘best practice’
better ambient awareness
rapid feedback is the key to evolution

what do we need #5 :user experience is the key to the
consumerisation of the enterprise
what do we need #6 :make hidden data shared and useit to drive collective intelligence
what do we need #7 :a network-centric view
of the business
