Information is a weapon that can be used to change reality, improve positioning, and reduce costs and risks. Knowledge is power, which means increased focus on the information worker in an electronic world. Web 2.0 has already started to influence how employees are connected to each other, and solutions like iPhone, Facebook and Twitter change our enterprise requirements for functionality and usability. Information workers want solutions like in Star Trek, and over the next few years we will see new worker models for business information and users.

• Fact 1: – The Essence of Leadership is Information Management

• Fact 2:– Information Quantity will always exceed Information Processing Capacity

Thornton May, Futurist, Executive Director and Dean, IT Leadership Academy

Value of Information

• Prof. Donald A. Marchand's Strategic Information Alignment model– Risks

– Innovation/Create New Reality

– Costs

– Competitive Advantage

…in a flat world

The Information Age• Personal computers heralded individual productivity

• Participation today exposes individual work more broadly

User Expectations

• Access = Google

• Networking = Facebook

• Profiling & Insights = Amazon

• Integration = Microsoft Virtual Earth

• Reference & Navigation = Wikipedia

Simpler Work Index1. Competing on Clarity: My manager organizes and shares 

information in ways that help me work smarter and faster

2. Navigation: In my workplace, it is easy for me to find whomever or whatever I need to work smart enough, fast enough

3. Fulfillment of Basics: In my workplace, it is easy to get what I need to get my work done—right information, right way, in the right amount

4. Usability: In my workplace, corporate‐built stuff (like IT, training, and support) is easy to use

5. Speed: In my workplace, that same corporate‐built stuff gets me what I need, as fast as I need it

6. Time: My company is respectful of my time and attention, and is focused on using it wisely and effectively

Defining Web 2.0• Tim O'Reilly, 2004

– The Web As Platform (inside/outside) 

– Harnessing Collective Intelligence (emergence) 

– Data is the Next Intel Inside (mashups) – End of the Software Release Cycle (SaaS, rolling updates) 

– Lightweight Programming Models (agile development, modular) 

– Software Above the Level of a Single Device (multiple interfaces, standards) 

– Rich User Experiences (dynamic, not static) 

Defining Enterprise 2.0

• “A system of web‐based technologies that provide rapid and agile collaboration, information sharing, emergence and integration capabilities in the extended enterprise”

Conclusions?

Four Principles for the Future

• Embrace the Asset Revolution– The knowledge workers now own the means of production

• Build My Work My Way– Employees know they own the means of production– They do not want to waste time in a complex ever‐flowing world – They like try to lead a balanced life, ‐ which they will define

• Deliver Peer‐to‐Peer Value– They like collaborating, and they do not want artificial barriers to 

collaboration to stop them from adding value

• Develop Extreme Leaders– Leaders must be accountable, willing to listen, and to be 

challenged regarding the way work gets done
