Michele Martin talks about
that in her blog
Workliteracy and comes to the conclusion that organizations have to provide the ground for employees to constantly adapt to changing work environment and personal strengths, knowledge, visions, etc.
How have your work surroundings changed and influenced your daily work?

Hi Ralf
Very often organisations are lagging behind their own staff in terms of understanding and using Web2.0 technologies and in developing new capabilities.
Therefore organisations must remove structural and process barriers that impose unnecessary limitations and restrictions on staff.
Sometimes it is organisations that are reluctant to change their attitudes. For example, why do so many organisations block social networking sites in the workplace when they could be leveraging the richness of these networks that staff already have?

Hi Marigo,
thank you for your lines. You are naming a present problem about the acceptance of social networking sites in organizations. As bosses are often not familiar with the ideas and the possible outcomes (in form of innovative solutions to present issues that have to be solved) and the fact that the time chatting is not seen as productive working time these applications (even if they would be adapted to company settings) have a "hard life".
It is a bit like the bees that humble around the orchards in the spring which in the first place seems "useless" and yet they make the fruits later in the summer possible. All that "networking", flying from tree to tree ends delicious fruits (besides the honey).
What are the mental models in people's heads that make them often think, that networking is useless and just for kids?
Cheers,
Ralf
