Jump aboard of SharePoint! Smooth onboarding and End User adoption through the power of Gamification12/20/2013 Greetings fellow office heroes...
Recently I've been asked to participate as a panelist at a Tweet Jam hosted by my fellow Knight Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet). The topic of this Tweet Jam is about the future of SharePoint. A very interesting topic indeed, since there are different rumours about SharePoint and its future out there. I salute you fellow heroes...
This time some announcement which might be of interest for some of you. If you happen to be in Barcelona in beginning of May 2014 and you happen to be at the European SharePoint Conference, I'd be delighted to have you attending my session about "Raising End-User Productivity with Social EnterPrise and Gamification in SharePoint". The conference will be from the 5th to the 8th of May 2014. I salute you fellow heroes...
This time I will tell about one of my favourite topics ever nowadays. Gamification! This is the first part of an article talking about what Gamification is all about and how it can be used in classic Intranets (in example on SharePoint) to amplify end user engagement and boost productivity. Is Gamification the silver bullet in information portals? It might be, if it's used right. Let's have a look... by Ian Gee
Like many of my fellow OD practitioners, I have made good use of Elizabeth Kubler Ross’s work “On Death and Dying” in my practice. In particular, her work on transitions and taking this from the realm of death and dying and relating it to the stages people go through as they deal with organisational change and transformation. I have designed exercises and interventions to help people understand what stage in the change process they are at, how to move between stages and if they are stuck, how to unstick themselves and get back into ‘flow’. I am sure you all know her model and like me have worked to develop it and apply it in your practice. Hail thee fellow information worker heroes...
Since the days are getting darker and colder we can definitely say "Winter is coming", a fellow SharePoint Knight and myself sat together on a round table, shared some tales of our battles and glorious victories over some cold ale and firewater of smoke and peat. Unfortunately due to the rules of my fellow Knights lords, I shall not say his name in here but I may tell from the wisdom he shared with me. We shall name him "The mystic black knight." :-) This time we tell about Yammer VS SharePoint 2013 Social features. May peace favour your swords fellow heroes. Hail thee fellow information worker heroes...
After having told my 1 2 3 tales about information worker productivity with SharePoint, this tale will go now a level higher and leave the SharePoint focus a bit on the side. Now I would like to give you an overview on the metrics of information worker productivity. Where can be the pain points and where you would need to apply certain measures to make your working environment more effective on personal, team and organisational level. All this I would like to present to you in "tadaaaa" one simple matrix, where you can see all the interconnections at once. May peace favour your swords fellow information working heroes... Behold the Matrix! Hail thee fellow heroes of information worker productivity!
In the first part of this article we looked into the general benefits of adopting social networking to an Organization. In this article we look into how SharePoint 2013 becomes a core driver for corporate social networks. May peace favour your swords fellow information worker heroes… Hail thee fellow SharePoint information worker heroes!
This is the 3rd part of the "Conquest for information productivity" Article. In the first post, I wrote about conginitive readiness, so having the knowledge how to slay the dragon to save the princess. In the second article I wrote about having the right tools to accomplish your quest of honour. In the 3rd and last part of this article I will write about the mindset or attitude which ultimately will drive you forward to plunge your sword into the heart of the dragon of SharePoint un-productivity. :-) May peace favour your swords, fellow heroes... "Team Nokia, you guys have been absolutely stellar and an excellent example on how a corporate SM outfit can conduct business. I do not use a Nokia phone, and had no interest, but in terms of Brand recognition you guys have simply kicked ass with your Empire Avenue works." (12-3-2012)
If you want to change the way that people work within an organisation, you have to change the way you look at change itself, a good friend once told me.
