Redesigning Work and Organizations for the Digital Age (1)

Connection

Traditional organizations were
composed of various elements.
Marketing sat over there, sales was here, production down there and management
upstairs.
No more.
The internet and digital te
chnologies dissolves the boundaries between these internal divisions.
It also promotes co-operation between suppliers at an unprecedented level and with crowdsourcing the line is blurred between customer and company.
Add
the ability to connect with people globally and you have a huge opportunity to work in new ways.

Social
We can no longer rely on corporations and governments to address social concerns such as climate change, the homeless or poverty.
New organizations will focus on fulfilling social needs.
Aligning to social causes is the key to branding.

And, it’s the lesson learnt from tribes forming on the internet.
Corporate Social Responsibility is mere icing on a stale cake.

Social Orientation designs the organization to create a profit that is channelled to fulfil the social need.
The younger generations won’t be interested without it.
And, through social media the means to connecting around events and causes is quicker and easier than ever before.
