Studio living and working in 2028

Friday, December 5th, 2008

At the Innovatieproeftuin, 50 students in Innovation Management and Industrial Design Engineering worked all day on a future workspaces case. The day was organized by the Innovation Platform, the NCSI, student association STAR of the RSM Erasmus University and student association i.d of Delft University of Technology. To start the day, Luis Suarez from IBM gave an inspirational talk about working without e-mail. He encouraged the students to stay in control of their own productivity and to think about the best tools to use for their communication.

The 7 teams were then challenged to come up with their vision of working and living in 2028. Session leaders of each team were briefed about the case a week earlier and came up with solid and creative plans to tackle this case and try to win the challenge. (more…)

Workshop on 7 skills of modern knowledge workers

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Yesterday we did a workshop on the 7 skills of modern knowledge workers at the Innovatieproeftuin. After an introduction by Ruud about the challenges faced by modern knowledge workers, the audience (of about 80 people) was put to work: first they had to select what they considered the top issues modern knowledge workers are faced with. Based on the results, they then had to describe the key skills modern knowledge workers have to posses to deal with this. While many of these 80 people probably expected a session where they would sit back and hear about the 7 essential skills, it was great to see them actually working together in small groups. (more…)

Looking back at our workshop on Enterprise Social Software

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Wednesday Septemer 17, we held a Future Workspaces workshop on Enterprise Social Software. Around 25 people from a broad range of organizations joined the workshop. We started of with an impressive showcase by our host, Erik Krischan (IBM), on the social tools they are using. My “yes, can we have that too, please“-moment was when he demonstrated their Intranet search: while searching for a specific topic, the system also shows the experts on the topic within the company, your social path (friend-of-a-friend) to that expert, relevant communities and of course the relevant information assets. After that presentation, Mireille Jansma (ING) gave us a brief impression of the issues people face in a less technology-minded setting when trying to introduce enterprise social software: a very good way to get us back on our feet to the reality of typical enterprise environments.
