De temps en temps je m'autorise des titres de billets épouvantables. Pas informatif pour deux sous. Mettons ça sur le compte du 1% culturel de Faut le savoir...
Texte de la punition :
- Companies make a religion of security, but this is largely a red herring. Most are protecting less against competitors than against their own market and workforce.
- As with networked markets, people are also talking to each other directly inside the company—and not just about rules and regulations, boardroom directives, bottom lines.
- Such conversations are taking place today on corporate intranets. But only when the conditions are right.
- Companies typically install intranets top-down to distribute HR policies and other corporate information that workers are doing their best to ignore.
- Intranets naturally tend to route around boredom. The best are built bottom-up by engaged individuals cooperating to construct something far more valuable: an intranetworked corporate conversation.
- A healthy intranet organizes workers in many meanings of the word. Its effect is more radical than the agenda of any union.
- While this scares companies witless, they also depend heavily on open intranets to generate and share critical knowledge. They need to resist the urge to "improve" or control these networked conversations.
- When corporate intranets are not constrained by fear and legalistic rules, the type of conversation they encourage sounds remarkably like the conversation of the networked marketplace.
- Org charts worked in an older economy where plans could be fully understood from atop steep management pyramids and detailed work orders could be handed down from on high.
- Today, the org chart is hyperlinked, not hierarchical. Respect for hands-on knowledge wins over respect for abstract authority.
- Command-and-control management styles both derive from and reinforce bureaucracy, power tripping and an overall culture of paranoia.
- Paranoia kills conversation. That's its point. But lack of open conversation kills companies.
Certains ont les larmes aux yeux en lisant Autant en emporte le vent. Moi c'est plutôt ça.
