A new charter for HR: more tech use, more networked employees via @gigaom | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it
The concept of HR must change to support an increasingly distributed workforce that operates socially in increasingly ad hoc teams.
Farid Mheir's insight:

The paper advocates HR departments to become more networked and embraces technologies more. Read with care and remember this is a promoted report from a software company. The conclusions remain valid IMHO.

Farid Mheir's insight:

An overview of Deep Learning, a field of artificial intelligence that propelled recent advances in image, video and speech processing. For those engineers of my generation, it enhances neural networks to reduce training required and opens the door to unattended learning, providing you have sufficient data for the networks to train themselves. And this is exactly the kind of stuff that google search, youtube, facebook and other large internet properties have plenty of.

Systems of Engagement and the Future of Enterprise IT: A Sea Change in Enterprise IT

Systems of Engagement and the Future of Enterprise IT: A Sea Change in Enterprise IT | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

In the Age of Facebook, organizations must redefine how they think about information management, control, and governance in order to deal with social technologies. In this AIIM White Paper, Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Managing Director, TCG Advisors, examines the fundamental revolution underway in enterprise IT brought about by ubiquitous Internet access, the proliferation of powerful mobile computing devices, and the consumerization of IT.

This report compares and contrasts existing Systems of Record – those tools, repositories, and systems upon which organizations have built their business processes for the last several decades – with Systems of Engagement. These tools overlay and complement organizations deep investments in systems of record by providing Web-based access, usability across a variety of hardware and software platforms, and cross-organizational collaboration.

In the report, Moore addresses these important questions:

  • How will the core value chains within our organizations - innovating, designing, procuring, marketing, selling, servicing, and governing - be impacted by social business systems?
  • What are the issues facing end users who wish to better leverage their information management systems to:
    1. improve operating flexibility, and
    2. better engage with customers?
  • What is the path forward for implementing, sustaining, and managing social technologies effectively and responsibly?

Farid Mheir's insight:

A very important concept to master by all digital experts, the difference between systems of reference (or of record - SOR) and systems of engagement (SOE).  In a nutshell, SOR is under the control of IT while SOE are under the control of... well it depends. HR, marketing, sales, finance all use systems of engagement in the cloud - salesforce.com and others - but really no single group is accountable. Except maybe the chief digital officer or the chief marketing technologist. Maybe.
