CIPD Report: June, 2017
“Fewer than four in 10 employees feel empowered to meet the demands of the digital workplace, according the Asia Workplace 2020 report by Microsoft.”
“As Asia primes itself to become the most connected market, with more than half of all mobile connections originating from the region by 2021, organisations need to rethink how they empower their workforce with the right culture, policy, infrastructure and tools to maximize their potential,” said Kevin Wo, managing director of Microsoft Singapore.
“This means enabling collaboration from anywhere, on any device. However, it is also critical for business leaders to evaluate and implement changes to counter cultural and management challenges that are hindering employees to work seamlessly from wherever they are – which will in turn hinder an organisation’s growth and progress in the digital age.”

Digital and Social Media
Social media is a type of online media that expedites
conversation as opposed to traditional media, which
delivers content but doesn't allow
readers/viewers/listeners to participate in the creation
or development of the content.

Sociological View of Media
Social Media refers to not only the technology but the
cultural and behavioral traits of people communicating
and sharing with one another. Through social
networks, people are listening, sharing, creating,
judging, and innovating in ways that are reshaping
relationships (e.g., government to constituents or
friend to friend), power bases, financial models, and
knowledge.

First Media Age: Greece
Greek alphabet and
writing led to one of the
most productive
cultures in all of history

Second Media Age: Print
Chinese moveable type
in 11th century, and
Gutenberg's Press in
the 15th century,
brought books to the
non-elites of society

Third Media Age: Broadcast
20th century
broadcasting brought
media into homes, and
at a low cost, thus
increasing demand while
decreasing the supply of
media channels

Fourth Media Age: Internet
Everyone becomes their own
media company because of
infrastructure, Internet, digital
technology, and interactive
easy-to-use sites.

Networks, not Information
The defining characteristic of the modern age is networks
All societies have had information (e.g., Ancient Athens and Rome)
Digital networks are unique to the current age
Networks, for the first time, can be a sustainedstructure for organizing people and work

How We Now Organize
Societal elites are now much less
connected to cities [places], and are
instead connected to information
flows. Thus, the network serves as
our organizing principle.
Previously, networks were just an ad
hoc organizational structure until the
rise of digital technologies.

Emotions Spread via Social Networks
Conclusion: People’s happiness depends on the
happiness of others with whom they are connected.
This provides further justification for seeing
happiness, like health, as a collective phenomenon.

Political Science: Why Americans Vote
If you vote, then it increases the likelihood that your
friend’s friend will also vote….Instead of each of us
having only one vote, we effectively have several
and therefore much more likely to influence the
outcome. - Fowler and Christakis (2009)

High Cost of Multitasking
Harold Pashler, Uni of Calf: Trying to keep dual tasks in our conscious mind can see cognitive ability drop in an amount equal to the difference between a Harvard MBA and an 8 year old
