What Are the Required Skills for Today’s Digital Workforce?

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 17, 2015

As I spend a great deal of time every year looking at the latest technological advances for the enterprise, I’ve noticed a trend in recent years that’s long been true but is clearly markedly accelerating.

Let The Network Do The Work

Let The Network Do The Work

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 4, 2014

One of the most striking things I seen when watching organizations make the transition from legacy industrial models of working to new network-based models, is that we keep trying to employ the new tools and ideas in the same old ways. Certainly, it’s quite hard to unlearn the old methods, so deeply instilled are they […]

Going Beyond ‘Bolt-On’ Digital Transformation

By Dion Hinchcliffe on May 28, 2014

Much has been made recently of the imperative to fully transition our businesses into the modern digital world. It now hardly needs to be said at this point.

Shifting the Meaning of Hierarchy to Community

Shifting the Meaning of Hierarchy to Community

By Dion Hinchcliffe on April 28, 2014

Over the last year or so, a fascinating bow wave of interest has been converging on a growing cadre of companies who appear to be doing something quite novel and seemingly new. Specifically, these organizations have apparently thrown off many of the traditional structures and processes of corporate management. Interestingly, all of these organizations are […]

What is the Future of Work?

What is the Future of Work?

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 27, 2014

Much has been made recently about one of the stand out trends of the times we live in: Everything is becoming infused with technology. Software is eating the world it is said. Some have claimed that next it might even eat the jobs, which to some degree is almost certainly the case. With only a […]

Digital Business Ecologies: How Social Networks and Communities Are Upending Our Organizations

Digital Business Ecologies: How Social Networks and Communities Are Upending Our Organizations

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 4, 2014

As we’ve watched digital networks reshape just about every aspect of business these days, I’ve found that we’ve struggled to come up with the right words and ways to describe a very different way of working.

Enterprises and Ecosystems: Why Digital Natives Are Dethroning The Old Guard

Enterprises and Ecosystems: Why Digital Natives Are Dethroning The Old Guard

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 26, 2012

The Path to Co-Creating a Social Business: The Early Adoption Phase

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 21, 2011

The figures vary but in the last several years a major change has begun in organizations around the world.
