Main Point: While a smarter planet has unprecedented opportunity, today’s business environment presents tremendous challenges that require us to work smarter Speaker Notes: Living in a smarter planet presents us with unprecedented opportunity. If we take advantage of it. However, today’s world also presents new challenges. Rapid change and increased pressure from new competitors makes this not only one of the most exciting times, but one of the most challenging. The answer isn’t just everybody work harder. It’s not just – dedicate more and more resources to solve our issues. The answer is finding ways to work smarter. That’s what this presentation is all about.
The reality of living in a flat, globally integrated world is upon us. Not only are traditional business environments changing, but the amount and pace of change has accelerated dramatically. Vast amounts of expertise and information are available today. More than ever before and it continues to accelerate. Today’s dilemna is not about the lack of information, but rather finding the right information in the right context at the right time amidst the ocean’s of data currently available. I’m looking for that chart deck. I’m looking for that article with a great quote. The technology is there to help us do it. The workers of yesterday used to wait a lot to communicate. Wait for the meeting. Wait for the phone message or email to be returned. Today’s workers, expect to reach people in real-time. And in fact they may be carrying on multiple conversations in real time at the same time. Gone are the days of serial conversations. Social networks, texting and instant messaging are the new reality. In the face of this transformation of the way they live and work, we need to figure out how to maximize people’s effectiveness working together – through collaboration. Business continues to be bounded by traditional organizational silos. Crossing these boundaries in a simple and flexible fashion rules out traditional point-to-point IT integration efforts. As business becomes more and more connected with people, information, technology and business partners outside the four walls, the ability to connect quickly and efficiently is critical. Traditional IT is too rigid to support the agility needed in today’s business environment. The old closely coupled silos don’t have the flexibility required. IT budgets can no longer support simply buy new replacement solutions every time a new business need arises, nor can they support duplicate IT function is separate areas of the business. And the percentage of IT budgets spent on IT maintenance costs continues to rise. This hamstrings IT from addressing new business needs adequately. Shared, lower cost resources are a necessity in today’s environment Technology must support the business in meeting challenges and taking advantage of opportunities. People and processes and the information they use must be easily connected inside and outside the organization.

Main Point: Organizations are not making the most out of the talent they have because their people’s effectiveness is hampered by an inability to connect to the right expertise and information at the right time. Speaker Notes: Our second conversation centers on the need to help people collaborate in order to maximize their effectiveness. Each of us can relate to these challenges in our daily lives: We know someone has experience that could help us solve a problem, but we don’t know who We have plenty of information and opinions available, but is it the right input to make the right decision? It takes us an exhausting amount of time to chase down the right people and information to get the job done We’re not alone. Two-thirds of people know there are others out there who can help them do their jobs. They need to know how to find them. Over two of every five people make decisions using the wrong input at least once a week. And people spend – on average – two hours a day just looking for the right information and expertise. This is an enormous drain on our organizations, but it points to a sizeable opportunity. To solve these problems requires more than access to information and expertise. We need to foster a collaborative way of working to maximize people’s effectiveness and make the most of the talent associated with our organizations.

Now that we’ve talked through Smart Work conversations, the next question is what are the capabilities necessary to delivery upon them?
Main Point: The power of extending and combining elements is the power of working smarter Speaker Notes: Work centers around the people, processes and information of the business and the technology that enables and supports them. Working smarter means not only must capabilities around each of these elements be extended, but they must be connected together. The true power comes from combining these elements to maximize their value. Thanks to our smarter planet, not only are there significant advancements in addressing each of the elements of smart work, but we can bring them together in unprecedented fashion to deliver value – getting a sum that is greater than the parts.
