How to increase productivity in the digital workplace - Gerry McGovern

When an employee is on a salary, managers don't care about their time. They think it is elastic. This is why intranets perform so poorly.

It was a hot summer evening in Houston. I was walking to the car park with John, a member of an intranet team for a large organization. "Management doesn't care how long it takes us to book a meeting room," he said resignedly. "They just think we can work longer, later."

Redefining productivity in the Digital Workplace by Mark Morrell

The way people do their work is shifting from a physical workplace to a digital workplace. This gives organisations an enormous opportunity to change their business model and create competitive advantage by deciding early how to take advantage of the digital workplace.

From my own experiences and knowledge I can see the risks if organisations delay and or make the wrong decisions. I have blogged about this in the past and how it affects engaged people are in their organisation, how effective collaboration will be and whether tools like SharePoint 2010 will help.

Personal Blogging at Work Increases Productivity - Susan Adams

What if your employees sat around writing about their personal lives on your company’s internal blog? Like the worker who tapped out 700 words on hiring his wedding photographer (“You want to put these precious memories in the hands of someone you can trust”), or the employee who composed an 800-word blow-by- blow on his adventure at Six Flags (“I found myself swinging like a pendulum. Ding – dong- ding.”) Seems like a colossal waste of time, does it not?

Not according to a new academic study by an associate professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Anindya Ghose, and two colleagues from Carnegie Mellon, Param Vir Singh and Yan Huang. Along with sharing information about work tasks, blogging at work pulls employees closer to one another, builds relationships, and over time, increases productivity.

Time is (still) money: Time for intranet leadership employee productivity (Part 2): Gerry McGovern

Time is (still) money: Time for intranet leadership (Part 2)

By Gerry McGovern

Managers need to focus on making things easy to do. If it's not easy, it often doesn't get done.

A couple of years ago I met a manager who had been specifically appointed by the CEO to improve employee morale. I gave him data that showed that his intranet had the lowest employee satisfaction ratings we had found so far. Tasks were really hard to complete.

Time is (still) money: increasing employee productivity (Part 1)

By Gerry McGovern

Most organizations are only operating at 60 percent efficiency even though they may have the most cutting edge information technology available.

I was at a conference recently where a speaker asked an audience of some 600 intranet professionals to raise their hands if their organizations used SAP. About 60 percent of the audience put their hands up. Then the speaker asked the audience: "How many of you like us...

Deleting your intranet - part one - Intranet Benchmarking Forum

There was a story not too long ago where a municipality in Denmark had lost it’s intranet. Somebody in IT managed to delete the entire intranet by accident and they couldn’t find a working backup copy. Talk about a bad day, right? Not really according to the public statement that was made after the incident. The responsible senior manager stated that the loss of the intranet will have absolutely no impact on the operations of the municipality, their citizens, or any other external related work.

Now, if that is indeed the case - why did they have an intranet in the first place?
