My Top Six Topics

21 Friday Jun 2013

Posted by rawnshah in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

Over the years, I have focused on a number of different topics from the technical to business management as a science. My recent work has been in six key areas:

  • Work Ethos
  • Collective Collaboration 
  • Leadership Values
  • Process Transformation
  • Enterprise Adoption
  • Social Analytics

These are all inter-related in a complex fashion but to say it simply:

Work Ethos is what gives us meaning and purpose in the work we do. Collective Collaboration and shared passion accelerates this ethos. Leadership values develop from collaboration and ethos and drive how the overall enterprise is performing. This is often envisioned in how we run our processes and how all workers adopt these practices. Finally analytics gives the full view of the effect and impact of these changes across all those involved.

The flagship event for the field of Social Business, the Enterprise 2 Conference by UBM Tech, is just around the corner, next week in Boston and it is time to take a look at the state of things.

blogging, gadgets

I’ve been to enough conferences over the past 20 years as a writer/blogger to know what you carry with you can make or break a timely story. There have been numerous events when I ran into someone really interesting, and needed to capture the conversation in the moment. So for Father’s day, I offer my suggestions on the tools I use and tips I’ve learned over the years to make the best of such moments.

Today, practically anyone can become a news source as a blogger. It makes the meeting more memorable, saves the conversation to be re-shared with others if allowed, and can have a side benefit of adding to your social reputation. To that end, here are my suggestions for Father’s day: a short list of useful gadgets and items to help that well traveled business dad to get that story.

Here’s the short list of the carry-no-bag solution I prefer

The Pearl Of Leadership Comes From Collaborative Action

Dan Pontefract with his book, Flat Army (image: Dan Pontefract)

Serendipitous to the opening chapter of the book, The Mona Lisa Is So Small, I was at the Museé de Louvre visiting the magnificent collection of Italian masters when I received notification of a copy of Flat Army: Creating a Connected and Engaged Organization (Wiley 2013). My reaction was quite sympathetic to Mr. Pontecraft’s own experience per his introduction: Upon entry, crowds of people & tour groups would rush right away upstairs to see the Mona Lisa first and foremost ignoring master works all around for notoriety. Popularity by itself is not leadership in my view.

[Personally, I was enamored by the enormity of the Veronese Paolo Caliari’s,The Wedding Feast at Cana at the opposite end of the same room, for the fascinating amount of networking that occurs in any political wedding ceremony.]

Flat Army covers a lot of interesting idea sources from both the immediate management and social science fields but also a good deal of history and culture. From the idea of Guanxi to the Multilevel Neural Network of North East Italy; from the Christmas Truce of 1914 on the Western Front in World War I, to the sociology of why bus riders won’t share seats; from JP Rangaswami’s thoughts on trust, to Leo Apotheker’s brief but tumultuous and guarded reign at HP.
