collaboration

Best practice is to make social business a multi stakeholder project – IT, HR, IC, Legal but also the rest of the business, from Customer Service, to Sales, Marketing and Innovation.

It is a transition that should be owned by the entire organisation. The organisational culture and processes have to be championed by the top management together with the senior stakeholders representing core areas.

Even if their culture is not necessarily the most mature, their needs of efficiency, productivity and cost saving are big. Similar goals make collaborating across geographical boundaries and organisational silos a priority.

More than half of millennials, 59 percent, described their generation as "self-absorbed," while almost half – or 49 percent – said they were "wasteful," and 43 percent said they were "greedy."

The breakneck pace of change in the IT industry is forcing you to change the way you think about attracting and hiring skilled workers. Here are six new IT roles for 2015 and advice on how to find talent to fill them.

Each organisation is different, but what makes some better than others? Products, technology or even strategies can be copied over time. But one thing that is very hard to copy, and is a key success factor, is talented people. It’s up to companies to see how they can bring the best out of their people. Employee engagement is the answer. Many studies have shown that companies with an engaged workforce are outperforming those without one.

Employees who care about their work are more productive, which in turn affects the whole business all the way up to higher shareholder returns.
