Michael Sampson: Currents

Who Owns "Collaboration" At Your Firm?

2009-07-17T11:14:17+12:00

I have started work on book #3 ... it's not on SharePoint this time, but is rather a more general exploration of the use and value of collaboration technology in organizations. My question for today is: Who owns "collaboration" at your firm?

Is it:
- the IT department?
- the HR department?
- each business group?
- ... or is ownership mixed between these groups and more?

By "ownership", I'm thinking of the following ideas:
- has the responsibility for analyzing work processes and recommending ways of improving those through collaboration technology.
- has the responsibility for analyzing specific collaboration technologies and recommending or deciding on which ones to use.
- has the responsibility for helping staff use new collaboration technology effectively in their work.

So ... who owns "collaboration" at your firm?, and what does ownership mean at your place of work?

Looking forward to hearing from you ... please leave a comment below, or contact me to arrange an off-the-record discussion.

Windows Mobile 6.5 ... Windows Mobile 6.5 includes a number of new features that are already on the iPhone and Palm Pre. "The new features include improved touch capabilities, including gestures such as tapping, tapping and holding, panning, and flicking in order to navigate through the Mobile interface – a direct response to the touchscreen capabilities of the iPhone and Palm Pre. In addition, Mobile’s Start screen offers access to customizable widgets, as well as fast access to email, and phone and instant messages. The screen itself has been divided into a honeycomb configuration for easier finger manipulation. " More

Google Calendar ... Google removed the "beta" tag from Google Calendar, and added new capabilities. "The standard new features for Google Calendar are the capability to install a background image (to prettify your calendar); attach Google documents to meeting invitations; a world clock for simplified planning; a jump-to-date feature to rocket you to future appointments; next meeting to inform you how much of your coffee break is left; and free or busy to block off schedulable time. These features are located under the labs tab on the settings menu. Some people may not have access to these yet; per usual, Google has a gradual roll-out. Most exciting about the announcement is the release of an experimental API for developers to create their own Calendar features. Placed in the hands of the savvy, this API might allow business customers to transform Google Calendar to mimic -- or outperform -- suites like Microsoft Outlook and Exchange." More

Xobni Plus ... Xobni released Xobni Plus, a premium-edition of its Outlook plug-in for email management. "Xobni Plus' main focus is on stronger search capabilities .... The initial version provided results for keywords and people, but now users have other search fields, such as for appointments and tasks. It is possible to build queries that span many fields, such as for all the tasks and attachments associated with a particular contact, he said. Boolean and phrase-based queries are also supported. Other features of Xobni Plus include advanced conversation filtering and new auto-suggest functionality. Xobni initially used the open-source Lucene search engine, but has created its own search technology to power Xobni Plus ... The upgrade is available for a one-time charge of US$29.95, which includes tech support and upgrades for one year. Users must first download Xobni 1.8, which is available at no charge."

EverNote for Collaboration ... My review of Evernote and its new shared notebook idea. "One of my long time favorite services—Evernote—has just implemented the first phase of its collaboration strategy. Until the last week of June, Evernote was solely a personal information management service, offering both a rich client for full online-offline access on various operating systems and devices, as well as a Web-accessible service. Even before the release of the new collaboration capabilities, Evernote was pretty fantastic." More

There are some additional gems in the comments. More

SharePoint 2010 Videos ... Microsoft released three overview videos of SharePoint 2010, for IT pros and developers. "From the developer point of view, I think this version of SharePoint and Visual Studio are going to be a “game-changer” for the platform. From first glance the dev tools built in to the tools seem to be far advanced and take the developer into a more enhanced workspace that allows for WSP creation, new LINQ for SharePoint functionality, a Developer Dashboard, and a Silverlight Web Part. Very cool and now developer can push the products to the business because of the tools Microsoft is about to supply. Move over Flash, here comes Silverlight?" More

Popular vs Profitable ... Nick reflects on the journey of starting a new digital media company, and proposes a key rule. "The balance of popularity and profitability is one that faces all businesses in the digital economy. Whether you are a service provider or a product company, there’s always the question of whether you should spend more time getting traffic to your website or spend more time generating revenue. Most people would say that the answer is fairly obvious: focus on making money! Unfortunately in a world where news can come from anywhere and a little extra effort can bring a lot more clients, things aren’t as clear. So here are a few tips that I’d suggest in focusing on profitability versus popularity:" (he lists four). More

Don't "Drive" Adoption ... Paula argues that adoption of Enterprise 2.0 tools can't be "driven". "While some of these authors have introduced critical elements to address — seamlessness via platforms, work specific, governance & roles — they all use the phrase “drive adoption”. This is the antithesis of 2.0 fundamentals. If you have to “drive adoption” you’ve failed at 2.0 design and implementation. The fundamentals of 2.0 are based on design that is organic — meets the individual where they are and adapts based on feedback — it emerges. The ‘adoption’ comes from rigorous ‘adaptation’ — it continuously morphs based on involvement from the ‘masses’. If done right, you can’t keep them away…because you’ve brought the scratch for their itch." More

Human Touch in SharePoint ... Ivan shares strategies for giving SharePoint the human touch. "There is a wealth of knowledge within the organisation that is never written down. It’s in the heads of staff members and when they leave the organisation that knowledge goes with them.It's not realistic to try converting all this knowledge into written documentation. Who would have time to read it all for starters? But what you can do is ensure that you factor in people to your knowledge strategy. There are a number of ways that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides to make this easier. Let me take you on a tour of them and we can discuss how you can bring these together." Strategies include having an up-to-date people list (via Active Directory sync), information targeting (via Audiences), and more. More

"What Happened?" ... Some good insights and directions from Viv about handling "What happened?" conversations. "We have different experiences so we each make sense in own way of ‘what happened’. This leads us to argue and importantly, blocks us from exploring each other’s stories. We see things differently because we have different information, we notice different things. And therefore we have different interpretations and our conclusions reflect self-interest. So what can we do when we find ourselves, or those we’re facilitating, participating in a ‘what happened?’ conversation? Be curious. Stand back and ask - what’s your story? And embrace both stories - adopt the ‘and’ stance. We all carry pieces of the story. Arguments develop when one person thinks they hold the ‘right’ story and everyone else is ‘wrong’." More

Move the Work ... Jack wonders why firms continue to move the worker rather than the work. "Why aren't they teleworking instead of wasting energy and increasing global warming? At today's levels of technology about 10% of workers in developed countries could be teleworking essentially full time, either from home or from somewhere within walking or cycling distance. Another 15% of workers could easily telework half time. The occasional-to-half-timers constitute another 25% of the workforce, for a total of 50%. That's a conservative estimate. " More

Virtual Collaboration Workshop ... Holger is leading a one-day workshop on facilitating virtual collaboration in Oxford in September. "Virtual collaboration tools have mushroomed and matured at the same time. There are thousands of tools and platforms such as online conference systems, blogs, wikis, chat rooms, forums, social networks, social bookmarking sites, files sharing, etc., which allow small and big groups to work together for a common goal. Many profit and non-profit organizations are using such tools for communication and collaboration with their internal and external stakeholders. In the future, most workshops, seminars, conferences will have a virtual component. Other events will be entirely online. Besides real-time events, the demand for facilitation of asynchronous processes of organizational development is high." More

KM and Enterprise 2.0 ... Greg talks about the relationship between knowledge management and Enterprise 2.0, and Doug chips in with this comment: "Personally, I think of Enterprise 2.0 as more analogous to the personal knowledge management. These are tools focused on the individual or small groups. That is where the direct benefit lies. A by-product is the ability of others to find the information. Early KM was focused on the enterprise as whole, looking for people to add content to centralized system that offered little direct benefit to them." More

From Access to Zoho ... Zoho added new capabilities for migrating Microsoft Access databases into Zoho Creator and Reports. "So, what happens when you migrate your database (MDB file) from Microsoft Access to Zoho Creator? Your entire database structure and data are migrated to Zoho Creator and an application is automatically created with Forms (Tables) and Views etc. This is a quick way of creating a web-based collaborative database app from your non-collaborative Microsoft Access DB. Once the Microsoft Access DB is migrated to Zoho Creator, the collaborative aspects kicks in where the entire application (or parts of it) can be shared with multiple users." More

Azaleos Hybrid ... Azaleos released Managed Hybrid Services, for blending on-premise Exchange with hosted Exchange through Microsoft. "To allow IT departments to focus on strategic technology initiatives, Azaleos Managed Hybrid Services provide 24X7 pro-active management of Microsoft Exchange, yet offer the unique ability to maintain messaging data generated by select e-mail users inside the firewall. Since not every user in an organization needs the capabilities of on-premise email, Azaleos allows IT to mix and match on-premise and online messaging services. Azaleos experts provide deployment, migration, and configuration support for both its remotely managed Exchange and cloud-based BPOS offerings. As needs change, users can be easily migrated between the two services." Available immediately. More

Managing a Virtual Workforce ... Managing a virtual workforce is more difficult than managing an in-person workforce. "What's worse and even more challenging for managers is that the most common means of coping with the effects of distance tend not only to be destructive to working relationships but can also be destructive to overall productivity, it argued. When people faced challenges with a colleague who worked in a different location, they either tended to resort to silence or other passive coping strategies or they became "verbally violent" or attacking toward their colleague, the research concluded. The silent approach included screening phone calls from remote colleagues, not returning calls and e-mails, leaving them out of the loop on important decisions or avoiding working with them all together."

Telstra on Telepresence ... Telstra Australia introduced a telepresence interconnectivity service for organizations with Cisco Telepresence equipment. "In an Australian first, Telstra today launched Business to Business TelePresence, giving Australian organisations the ability to collaborate with each other using Telstra's Cisco TelePresence Managed Service. Telstra Business to Business Cisco TelePresence means organisations will be able to bring other businesses together in a single, face to face, virtual meeting room, as opposed to intracompany Cisco TelePresence collaboration within the boundaries of one organisation."

Zoho Projects 2.0 ... Zoho released version 2.0 of Projects, its team collaboration service. "Zoho Projects 2.0 goes beyond the traditional 'project management' space and helps people work together to achieve a common goal. It's not just about tasks, milestones and priorities. It's about how people interact and what they need while working on something - whether it's a local team or a distributed team, and internal team, or a customer-facing one. But every team is always working in some sort of project - whether formally defined with a Project Manager and a Gantt chart or not. And that is where Zoho Projects helps. Zoho Projects is 'social' because we realize that getting work done is less about the work or 'the plan', and more about the people that work to make that plan happen - and how they make that happen." Available immediately. More, Press Release

What is Enterprise 2.0? ... Greg shares some thoughts on the nature of Enterprise 2.0. "The social business is not about technology. And it’s not about PR. Or, more accurately, it’s about both of those things, but also much more. It’s about company culture. It’s about the way people work together. It’s about innovation — often open innovation. It’s about collaborating differently inside and outside your company. These are all things that we’re working through now at Humana." More

Google Chrome OS ... Google announced the Google Chrome OS, a new operating system for netbooks initially, and for other devices later. "Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve."

So, how do you weather the recession? Build a great product and open source it. Focus on adoption. Then listen to your community." More

SharePoint Roadmap Review: Martin White

2009-07-09T15:31:12+12:00

Martin White of Intranet Focus took possession of his copy of SharePoint Roadmap for Collaboration yesterday. He posted his comments:

"The writing is concise and opinionated. Michael writes from a position of authority on the subject based on having implemented SharePoint applications, and this book is full of insights that only an experienced practitioner is in a position to offer. Take page 69 and the comment about three limitations that render the integration between SharePoint and Outlook for team collaboration as pretty much useless. You will have to buy the book to find out what they are!

However this book is not negative but constructive. Above all it provides a framework for IT and business stakeholders to get around a table, talk the same language, and work out how to get the best out of the application. Even if you have already implemented SharePoint for collaboration applications you will benefit from this book whilst there is still time to put right the mistakes you have made so far."

Read Martin's full review at the Intranet Focus blog.

Thanks Martin!

"CallXpress works with your existing voice infrastructure, pulling the technologies together so you can receive all email, fax via email, phone and SMS messages in one place - your email environment. And because it is voice enabled, it listens to what you say! The integrated hands free Speech Dialler, which is a new benefit in CallXpress 8, is a speech recognition and voice user interface which allows you to access and manage your inbox and connect with the person you want to communicate with (be that by voice, email, fax or text) without manual intervention."

Taking many features from the on-premise Lotus Connections social software product, it provides an integrated and easy-to-manage cloud-based solution that offers fast deployment and excellent value for money, starting from less than $10 per user per month." Available immediately. More

Collaborative Networks ... Aaron outlines his vision of "collaborative networks" in business, as opposed to social networking in business. "Rather than focusing on socialization, one to one interactions and individual enrichment, businesses must be concerned with creating an information fabric within their organizations. This information fabric is a federation of content from the multiplicity of data and application silos utilized on a daily basis; such as, ERP, CRM, file servers, email, databases, web-services infrastructures, etc. When you make this information fabric easy to edit between groups of individuals in a dynamic, secure, governed and real-time manner, it creates a Collaborative Network. This is very different from social networks or social software, which is focused entirely on enabling conversations. Collaborative Networks are focused on groups accessing and organizing data into actionable formats that enable decision making, collaboration and reuse." More

"If you’re like most people, you have a strong desire to work at home but you may wonder if you really have what it takes to be a successful work at home professional. After all, working at home requires a specific skill set that traditional workers don’t necessarily have. In this article, we’ll discuss how to tell if you have the skills to work at home. Are you ready? Let’s begin." More

OffiSync ... The OffiSync add-on for integrating Microsoft Office and Google Apps will enter general availability in July. "Once installed, the plug-in appears as a new tool bar in Microsoft Office applications and allows users to save their Office files online for access from any desktop or laptop computer using Google Apps and Docs; find specific files with Google search; and collaborate on documents with coworkers through Google Docs." There will be a price for enterprise users. More

Collaboration and BI ... Jeff writes about the combination of collaboration software with business intelligence tools. "The next frontier for collaboration software could be its convergence with business intelligence (BI) applications. Web 2.0 tools like blogs and wikis, vendors and industry analysts agree, have the potential to dramatically expand the reach and effectiveness of BI and data analytics throughout the enterprise .... With BI embedded in collaboration portals, the thinking goes, workers will no longer have to email reports to dozens of people and then spend hours or days aggregating and analyzing their responses, which come at different times and could be spread out among different branches of an email chain. With collaboration software, they can share the same report on a blog or in a wiki and instantly see their colleagues' input." More

LiveTechDocs ... Will looks at LiveTechDocs, a new service for collaborating on technical documents. "LiveTechDocs supports both DocBook 4.x and DocBook 5.x as its standard formats. It’s simple to use: Upload your documents to the repository and then publish them. After publishing, it is ready for reviewers via the “Documentation” tab. Using LiveTechDocs, authors and reviewers can review all of your XML-based documentation online. LiveTechDocs helps you manage the review by structuring the process, helping it be completed on deadline. Review comments are all accessible from the dashboard. Document authors and management can also respond to reviewer comments from the dashboard, opening up a dialog between reviewer and writer." More
