Rendre l’avenir possible – La transformation digitale est aussi l’affaire des dirigeants
Par Isabelle Rouhan
Après Havas, IPG et Facebook, Isabelle vient de créer Colibri Talent un cabinet d’Executive Search qui accompagne la transformation digitale des entreprises.
En 2015, une entreprise sur deux n’avait pas de stratégie digitale. Aujourd’hui, 60% des entreprises ont sauté le pas, selon le Baromètre de la Transformation Digitale de CSC France.
La transformation digitale est une réalité pour la roadmap de la majorité des entreprises : elle impacte à la fois les organisations et les collaborateurs.
Mais le vrai sujet n’est pas de déterminer comment faire de cette transformation un succès à court terme. Car, au-delà de la mise en œuvre immédiate, la conduite du changement à long terme demande de faire co-exister plusieurs modèles, et c’est là que la complexité réside pour les dirigeants.
L’enjeu des leaders est de piloter la conduite du changement dans ce contexte de cohabitation, comme le montrent Claus Rydjkaer et Tue Juelsbo dans leur article passionnant (« Multisp..
Dwelling On The Past: The Importance Of Project Retrospectives (Part 1)
We should always look for opportunities to grow and improve. Retrospectives and reflections allow you to codify what you’ve learned from experience, to document mistakes and avoid future ones, and to increase your potential to grow in the future.
Agile methodologies typically include time for retrospectives throughout a project. Regardless of your methodology, all teams would benefit from having a retrospective at the conclusion of a project.
The post Dwelling On The Past: The Importance Of Project Retrospectives (Part 1) appeared first on Smashing Magazine.
Le télétravail est il mort ?
Le télétravail est un sujet d’actualité dans de plus en plus en plus d’entreprises. Au départ popularisé par des entreprises jeunes dans leur âge et leurs pratiques managériale, il a touché au fil des années tous les secteurs d’activité, peu importe la taille de l’organisation. Aujourd’hui il y a les entreprises qui y sont déjà passées, avec des modalités de mise en place assez variées, celles qui expérimentent, celles qui y réfléchissent mais le sujet est là et la liste des bénéfices, attendus et constatés, connue, tout autant que la liste des points de vigilance.
La vague du télétravail se retire par où elle est arrivée Pour autant et de manière assez surprenante, on voit des entreprises qui avaient adopté le modèle avec succès et étaient même citées en exemple faire machine arrière et demander à leurs collaborateurs de revenir au bureau. Et aussi bizarrement que cela puisse paraitre, ce sont le plus souvent des entreprises du secteur technologique, secteur qui a été le premier à po..
How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Design Thinking
If you like this article, you probably want to sign up to be notified when my new book on Visual Thinking is out (in less than a month, I promise!) Also, there is discussion and some clarification on the Medium version of the post.
When I first heard about Design Thinking, I thought it was a clever rebranding effort by IDEO to charge twice as much for user-centered design. What can I say, I’m an old fart of a designer, and when I read about design thinking, I didn’t really see the big whup. And I wasn’t alone.
But over time I’ve discovered that the oft-parodied approach to Design Thinking — a lot of post-its and a lot of prototyping — works better than nearly any other approach to product and service innovation.
Why?
Do designers truly think in a different way?
The key is the word “thinking.” I want to make an argument that Design Thinking is a kind of thinking based on three key cognition theories:
Distributed Cognition Expertise Thinking Iterative World Modeling Let me break ea..
How New Managers Can Send the Right Leadership Signals
One of the most exciting and — sometimes anxiety-producing transitions in a career — comes when you move from being an individual contributor to becoming a manager. At this juncture, what you think, what you say, and how you show up — in effect, your leadership presence — can have a direct impact on those you are now leading and managing for the first time. So, as a new manager, how do you build an authentic and connected leadership presence that has a positive impact on your team and colleagues?
Set a leadership values-based goal. An authentic and connected presence begins from the inside-out. How you define the role and what you value will “telegraph” out to those you work with. As a new manager, spend time to consider the kind of leader you are and hope to be. Set an aspirational goal to serve as a guiding compass. As one new manager shared recently, “my professional leadership goal is to be a genuine and emotionally intelligent manager who inspires others to excellence.”
You and ..
Success with the Internet of Things Requires More Than Chasing the Cool Factor
Many companies begin an internet of things (IoT) journey with great expectations, only to end up with disappointing business results. Gartner recently estimated that through 2018 “80% of IoT implementations will squander transformational opportunities” and fail to monetize IoT data. And a new survey by Cisco found that one-third of all completed IoT projects were not considered a success. In my experience with dozens of organizations implementing IoT solutions, those that achieved their expected ROI changed their traditional business approaches in one or more of the following ways:
They Developed a Partner Ecosystem The essence of IoT is interconnectivity. Interconnectivity is about more than the connections between devices — it is about the connections between customers, partners, and suppliers.
Accordingly, IoT is driving a shift in business structures from a one-company-does-it-all model to a let’s-work-together approach. This means that companies must leave behind traditional mod..
6 Digital Trends Are Poised to Transform How We Work – SPONSOR CONTENT FROM DXC TECHNOLOGY
In addition to the digital tools entering the workplace now, several technologies and trends on the horizon have the potential to further transform the way we work and interact with others.
Artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already in use throughout the web and increasingly within the enterprise, handling everything from initial call screening for sales prospects to scheduling.
Chatbots are evolving into more complex virtual assistants, interacting with humans to replace phone calls, emails, and texts. Online virtual assistants, such as Amy or Andrew at x.ai, schedule meetings based on calendars and preferences, propose a range of times by email, negotiate with (human) administrative assistants as needed, and send invitations. This type of help has a high return on investment: x.ai estimates that it takes humans an average of 17 minutes to schedule one meeting, while virtual assistants cost less than $100 per month.
Eventually, this will evolve into virtual as..
Leading Digital Transformation Is Like Urban Planning
Most companies want their businesses to keep pace with digital startups, but end up bogged down by the need to fix the daily challenges that their decades-old IT systems create. How do you redesign and rebuild major infrastructure while keeping the day-to-day work going? This kind of challenge is often referred to as “repairing the airplane while you’re flying it.” But a more instructive analogy might be the redesign of a major city’s infrastructure.
Specifically, there are three urban planning strategies, commonly followed by major metropolises, that leaders can use for inspiration in the race to keep up with digital competition. They include building glistening landmarks that anchor their digital strategy (as Dubai has done), removing roadblocks and bottlenecks to improve their underlying speed and agility (Boston), or changing course altogether to construct an entirely new city (Shanghai).

Advanced Analytics Are Crucial to Digital Transformation – SPONSOR CONTENT FROM DXC TECHNOLOGY
Organizations that thrive on change use data and analytics as a competitive asset. They adapt quickly and predict trends by continuously curating and analyzing data and developing insights that drive new value. These organizations have a high “analytics IQ,” and they will be the disruptors, not the disrupted, in the digital revolution.
Those that successfully harvest vast troves of data can improve productivity; make faster and more accurate decisions; reduce costs; increase competitive advantage; discover new business models and innovations; and better engage customers, employees, and partners.
IT has long played a critical role in helping organizations deliver better products and services, improve operations, better manage risks, and develop new business models to stay relevant. That’s still true. Core technologies such as cloud, mobility, modern applications, and networks continue to evolve. But IT’s impact on the enterprise is raised to a whole new level when an organization intr..
