Companies need to provide an open, trusted environment to
develop, engage and inspire all the people in their people network, internal and external. They need to change the way they work by combining the best of social and
collaboration technology with modern people and management
practices. They need a unified,
people-centric and social platform to enable the transformative
workplace.
The transformative workplace is an interactive, always on, flexible
environment that enables organizations and governments to provide their
entire people network: employees; customers; suppliers; partners and
citizens, with the development, engagement and
inspiration they need to constantly transform themselves and their
organization to meet the dynamic challenges of the knowledge economy and
be more competitive through better innovation, speed, agility and
trust.
Legacy talent management solutions have failed
to change the way work gets done in the organizations. These legacy
solutions have been designed for top-down control
of talent, learning and recruiting, resources and processes. They are
not designed to empower frontline managers and employees to align
themselves to organizational strategies, connect with the right people,
information or ideas to get their job done and take
charge of their own professional development.
With the right software solution, instead of HR or learning functions,
pushing content and processes that may or may not be relevant, the network will automatically enable and provide access to the most
relevant content experts so people can take advantage
of both formal and informal resources from the entire people network to
get their work done.
Instead of career paths being defined and dictated by organizations,
the network will dynamically track the real career path of
successful individuals throughout the people network and provide that
visibility to employees and managers. Instead
of once a year compliance-driven performance reviews, the network will enable managers and employees, through the people network, to
engage in a continuous cycle of feedback loops and constant development
activities.
Organizational silos, lack of field connection with partners and
customers and the barriers of time and space are the biggest obstacles
to innovation. The transformative workplace will eliminate these barriers with
the most robust collaboration and social technologies
available today to enable unprecedented levels of innovation and
collaboration from every corner of the people network.
