TrendBook 2012 już dostępny! :) : hatalska.com Kategoria: INTERNET3 kwietnia 2012 • 10 komentarzy Wydany przeze mnie w ubiegłym roku TrendBook 2011 cieszył się ogromną popularnością. Pracując wtedy nad nim, robiłam to – poniekąd – dla siebie. Brakowało mi bowiem polskiego kompendium dotyczącego najważniejszych trendów w danym roku. Po publikacji okazało się jednak, że ten brak odczuwałam nie tylko ja. Zdecydowałam wówczas, że TrendBook wydawany będzie rokrocznie. W tym roku trendów jest pięć i – podobnie jak w ubiegłym roku – krążą wokół społeczności oraz nowych technologii. Tradycyjnie też w TrendBooku2012 znajdziecie suplement – opis dwunastu głównych zjawisk zachodzących w zachowaniach ludzi pod wpływem zmian technologicznych (Koniec starego świata, opracowanie Tadeusz Żórawski, Universal McCann). Raport w całości dostępny jest za darmo, ale – podobnie jak w ubiegłym roku – w ramach usługi Pay with a Tweet/ Pay with a Post. Zapraszam do lektury! Zapraszam do pobrania pełnej wersji TrendBook 2012.

Leading Virtual Teams to Real Results - Jeanne C Meister and Karie Willyerd by Jeanne C Meister and Karie Willyerd | 11:23 AM June 30, 2010 If a leader is like a conductor, as Peter Drucker said, then are virtual leaders like virtual conductors? In this video, Eric Whitacre conducts a virtual choir in a performance of “Lux Aurumque.” This moving virtual symphony, a collaboration between more than 185 singers from 12 countries, has been viewed more than a million times since it was uploaded in March. As Whitacre describes in his blog, “I made my own conductor track, filming it in complete silence, hearing the music only in my head. “There is a lot of rubato in my conducting (slowing down, speeding up) and some very specific dynamic gestures. If a conductor can work virtually, bringing over 100 musicians together in a way that recognized the individuals even more than a live performance might, what can virtual managers do to create such excellence of performance while touching our “shared humanity?” The reality of virtual leadership is apparent.

Google+ Pages: connect with all the things you care about In life we connect with all kinds of people, places and things. There’s friends and family, of course, but there’s also the sports teams we root for, the coffee shops we’re loyal to, and the TV shows we can’t stop watching (to name a few). So far Google+ has focused on connecting people with other people. But we want to make sure you can build relationships with all the things you care about—from local businesses to global brands—so today we’re rolling out Google+ Pages worldwide. People + pages, better together Google+ has always been a place for real-life sharing, and Google+ Pages is no exception. For you and me, this means we can now hang out live with the local bike shop, or discuss our wardrobe with a favorite clothing line, or follow a band on tour. For businesses and brands, Google+ pages help you connect with the customers and fans who love you. * You can join Kermit and Ms. Maybe you're watching a movie trailer, or you just heard that your favorite band is coming to town.

Remote Leadership: Meeting the Challenge of Working for a Virtual Boss - Michael Watkins by Michael Watkins | 1:45 PM July 20, 2007 More and more leaders are finding themselves in virtual boss/direct report relationships. Separated in space and often in time (zones), they struggle to communicate effectively, stay aligned, and achieve desired goals. It’s all too easy for difficult-to-close gaps to open up when you are working virtually — in assessments, priorities, and expectations. Keeping this from happening is the central challenge of remote leadership. Dictionaries list two quite distinct definitions for the word “remote,” both of which can apply to the challenge of dealing with a virtual boss. The other, less benign, meaning of “remote” is “distant or unapproachable.” More commonly, though, it’s the direct report who doesn’t make enough effort to make communication work across the distance. This is, unfortunately, akin to sailing by dead reckoning when you are out of sight of land (in the days before GPS, naturally). What does it take to make remote leadership work? 1.

Advertising: Let your brand take flight on Twitter with enhanced profile pages Earlier today we announced a new version of Twitter that makes it easier for users to discover what’s happening now. As part of this release, we are introducing enhanced profile pages that help marketers create an even more compelling destination on Twitter for their brands. Communicating with users isn’t just about what you say. It’s also about how you say it. Now, your profile page does more to help you make an impression with a large header image for displaying your logo, tagline, and any other visuals. You can also control the message visitors see when they first come to your profile page by promoting a Tweet to the top of your page’s timeline. This page and the Promoted Tweet are both free of charge and publicly accessible for the whole world to see. We are thrilled to launch the new enhanced profile page exclusively with 21 advertising partners and select charities and individuals.

Rise of the networked enterprise: Web 2.0 finds its payday - McKinsey Quarterly - Organization - Strategic Organization Every new technology has its skeptics. In the 1980s, many observers doubted that the broad use of information technologies such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) to remake processes would pay off in productivity improvements—indeed, the economist Robert Solow famously remarked, “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” Today, that sentiment has gravitated to Web 2.0 technologies. Management is trying to understand if they are a passing fad or an enduring trend that will underwrite a new era of better corporate performance. Podcast The rise of the networked enterprise: Web 2.0 finds its payday McKinsey Global Institute senior fellow Michael Chui discusses how leaders can prepare for the new business environment as well as the latest results from McKinsey’s survey of global executives on their use of Web 2.0. New McKinsey research shows that a payday could be arriving faster than expected. The findings Web 2.0 technologies are now more widely used
