    OUTATIME – Have a great 2015

    Back to the future – 2015 is the year which was called „future“ in this three movies released until 1990 and we can see already many things available. Since I always loved science and future, back in 1996 I used this plate for my GMC VAN (see picture on the right) in the states 😉 I…

  • Change – Values – One size fits all?

    Change – Values – One size fits all?

    The second part of my thoughts about a modern change management approach is about values and the typical way in big company (or government) to roll out changes: „One size fit’s all“. In my experience today we are able to engage an individual change approach – of course we need a network of supporters for that,…

  • A new Change Management concept

    A new Change Management concept

    Within the last 3 years, I spend a lot of time with the theory and practical use of „Organizational Change Management“. Many discussions (private and business), conferences, own pilots, many days coaching from a great person of Deloitte, learnings by observing outstanding „leaders in change“, participation in the inspiring „Change Agents Worldwide“ network and education by the great ISB (Institut für systemische…

  • Our Sender-Receiver Problem in Business

    Our Sender-Receiver Problem in Business

    Yesterday in our Enterprise 2.0 Meetup in Stuttgart (here are some tweets about it), I presented my interpretation of the „Sender-Receiver“ Problem, which I often see in Business Situations and Leadership. The following model is based on the experience I made with the GUIDE Concept to introduce Social Business in a global company. In the…

    Knowledge Management can do better

    I again stumbled upon this (older but still very clear) presentation and would like to share it with you in my blog (I believe that now more people are willing to and have the first experience to understand what it is all about). For me the core sentence of this slides is the following (including…

  • Infographic about Flexibilisation & Individualization

    Infographic about Flexibilisation & Individualization

    Accepted – it is not really an infographic – there are just no pictures included. I still like to use this format for the action-effect-chain. This time I tired to display how Social Media can help on Flexibilisation and Individualization – which is highly required for our more and more complex world. Agility is for…

  • Infographic about organizational learning and knowledge management

    Infographic about organizational learning and knowledge management

    Knowledge Management in the past decades was aiming for collecting, storing and categorizing knowledge. In my eyes it failed – Huge databases of dead documents have been built with tremendous effort and very little outcome. Usability, maintenance or accessibility – it just did not work – not to mention the never reached ROI (=return of…

  • Lessons learned from Social Media Implementation

    Our implementation of Social Media was very successful – ever since many ask, „what has been the major factor?“. Of course it was a team effort and many people had an important part in this massive change. As „the“ leverage effect the „GUIDE concept“ was clearly identified. Here I put the most important slides together,…

  • Rebels in the digital transformation

    Rebels in the digital transformation

    „Rebels“ are usually seen negative as people not taking rules for granted. Today we face so many things – which seem so wrong, not solved or just not yet developed or thought of. In such times rebels are needed to „stretch“ our borders, to widen our view, to create new impulses – to walk on…

  • Social Media Adoption – the GUIDE concept

    Social Media Adoption – the GUIDE concept

    More than a year ago I uploaded a video about our „Global GUIDE Kick-Off Event“, which was a big „visible“ milestone in Continentals internal Social Media implementation. My task was to find a way to reach out to all of our employees, get them connected and engaged in our new Business Networking environment. After we…

    Searching for a job? – ask the right questions!

    I just had a discussion on what is #E20 (Enterprise 2.0) and we could clearly answer this one by „a holistic approach on how modern companies do business“. In the beginning of Social Media – it was all about Communication and collaboration. Marketing for products and of course for jobs. Today you will hardly find…

    Infographic Social Business value example BLOG versus eMail

    Blog versus eMail for Communication Infographics are a great way to tell a story and explain how things work togehter (or not). „Gartner“ say’s that 80% of companies will fail their Social Business goals by 2015 by the reason „CEO commitment“. But why would they not want their people to work smarter? In my eyes…

    My presentation @ Enterprise 2.0 Summit

      Curious about bringing Social Business to your company? At the Enterprise 2.0 Summit in Paris we discussed many topics around this approach. It was clear to all participants, that we are no longer talking about „if“ but „how“ and „when“ it will be a standard business „part“. Social Business is more than just a…
