The Future of Finding Work lies in a state of multi-work, or working in multiple roles at the same time. The idea of a single full-time jobs causes up to 20-25% productivity loss during our tenure (3.5-4.5 years on average). The reality is that we spend up to 8 months just learning our job environments, so why not split your time at multiple different work environments? In addition, we are starting to see new technologies that turn work into platforms that can manage work assignment and logistics for us.

Nilofer Merchant (Martin Prosperity Institute fellow) shared her Takeaways from the recent Innovation for Jobs summit.
“My father had one job in his life,” noted Robin Chase [Founder & former CEO Zipcar]
“I’ll have six jobs in my life.
My children will have six jobs at the same time.”
[I like Robin’s point above. Nilofer also included a nice shout out for my Forbes piece:]
“In a talk at BCG, Rainer Strack’s says we have a $10 Trillion talent shortage.
David Nordfors notes a $140 trillion untapped market for jobs.
The key in taking advantage of this shift is the role of the individual, not the organization.
Sandeep Sander [Vivaldi Partners Group] suggested the key is to have individuals take responsibility for their own ability to create value; the question is, how to enable this?
One ongoing conversation has been about the role of “multiployment”—where one
can work for multiple organizations at a time, globally. Note the shift though in frames:
Organization centric ==> Customer Centric ==> Individual Centric.

Lecko’s Enterprise Social Networks study also looked the tools that suit external communities, usually customer-facing or for partners. I was thinking earlier that the study did not include companies like Lithium in their study but was proved wrong in this chart. While not in their deep analysis per tool later in the document, they do list them here.
Their description of the groupings:
They indicate that most ESNs “are a long way behind social CRM specialists (Dimelo and Lithium)”. I’ve not watched Dimelo before (based in Paris & Munich) but it makes sense in catering to the French top 40 companies. Lithium frequently ranks as a winner in CRM Idol, the industry awards for this product category.
The big gap between the functional capabilities of these two compared to the ESN pack is so stark, it is hard to ignore. The capabilities if you interested are as follows:
This doesn’t seem like asking for much, but I would gather the difference is in the quality and depth of the offerings.

Another interesting chart from the recent Lecko ESN study shows collaboration tools by how they facilitate Productivity in two dimensions (Social functions, Business line functions).
The three groupings are as follows:
My thoughts on this is that this chart focuses on gaining market acceptance by their own primacy (those in A), and the challengers who gain the extra push from integrating with known major suites (B). Those in (C) are standalone. Some of these stem from their roots in document and knowledge management and evolution into social platforms.

Microsoft: 2014 is the year that Yammer was integrated into the MS collaborative offer. This is as much down to the publisher’s efforts to lead people into the cloud as by developing better integration with Office365.
blueKiwi (version Feb. 2015): the solution evolves without standing out through optimisation of its functions and performance gains for those who use the social on a daily basis. blue Kiwi has acquired this experience with its customer (and shareholder) Atos, resulting in the provision of one of the largest ESN platforms worldwide.
Knowledge Plaza: A leading start-up in the Social KM field.
talkSpirit: Traditional market player. The solution is particularly relevant for supporting internal or external communities of practice.
eXo Platform: The leading Open Source publisher in this composition. The solution has grown in 2014 and relevantly supports social uses around content management. Cross-posted from Facebook on March 04, 2015 at 10:49AM.

Hitachi makes a Happiness Wearable? Not the type of Quantified Organization that Lee Bryant had in mind.
“According to Hitachi, apparently there is some kind of correlation between a person’s physical movements and their sense of happiness, which we guess sort of makes sense as someone who is happy will have more spring in their step, versus someone who is bored or down and who might just shuffle around the office, although will the sensor be able to pick up on that?”
I find some of it credible, but more in the sense of encouraging fitness which can have a relationship to mood. It could also work in the sense of activities like Walking and Talking (a la Nilofer Merchant ‘ s suggestion), but then it is essentially a Fitbit or Lumo Bodytech which are better sensors for movement, and posture, respectively.

Hitachi Creates Wearable Sensor To Measure Employee Happiness
“Happier employees tends to lead to better output and more efficiency, but how do you know if your employees are happy or if they secretly resent you?…”
