Organisations can only learn from another organisation’s intranet if they first learn how that intranet relates to the ‘personality’ of the organisation. This is why cut and paste functionality from one intranet manager to another most ends in #FAIL.
Dieter Rams’ ten principles to “good design” Good design is innovative:
Good design makes a product useful
Good design is aesthetic
Good design helps us to understand a product
Good design is unobtrusive
Good design is honest
Good design is long-lasting
Good design is consequent to the last detail
Good design is concerned with the environment
Good design is as little design as possible
Millennials anvender teknologi på en måde, som de færreste virksomheder er indrettet til, og de forventer, at de nyeste teknologier er til rådighed. Løsningen på denne potentielle online kulturkløft er ikke at stramme reglerne og spærre for eksempelvis sociale netværk sites, men derimod at åbne sluserne for alle de alternativer, som de unge er vant til at bruge. […] Da Millennials også i udstrakt grad er teamplayers, kan de være med til at støtte teamtankegangen og dermed forstærke virksomhedens online kultur. Det er eksempelvis meget naturligt for den kommende generation af medarbejdere at have nogle omkring sig, som de kan modtage sparring, coaching eller feedback fra, ligesom de har et veludviklet instinkt for at samarbejde på kryds og tværs. Det er noget, som mange virksomheder har forsøgt at lære deres ansatte i årevis – ikke mindst fordi samarbejde er afgørende for succes på det globale marked.
Authors are increasingly “curators”, “story architects” or “experience designers” and are looking toward the creation of storyworlds rather than a linear stream.
The best advice I can give about online collaboration, is that you cannot start to collaborate online if you do not know the people you are collaborating with. Therefore what must precede the launch of any tool is to actually bring the group together for a conference call, video conference or face-to-face meeting to figure out the best way of working together. This is important in establishing the trust need to collaborate effectively, regardless the solution.
