Co-creation

“The people who say‘I can’t come because I’m at work’

are missing the point. This is work!"

Lloyd Davis, Tuttle Club

Passion

”People are treated as people again.When they come to work, their colleagues

are no longer talking to a person who’s doing a job.They are talking to a person who’s got emotions,

a private life, a husband, kids, whatever.Social software provides a much more

accurate persona."

Luis Suarez, IBM

Learning

“These days, your partners are also your customers,are also your competitors - all at the same time.

It’s a much more dynamic environment.”

Matt Glotzbach, Google

Openness

“We’re a news organisation, essentially."

Scott Monty, Ford

Listening

“Consumers and line workers are the peoplewho know how the business should run. In hierarchiesyou have a lot of problems. The people who are goodat climbing up the career ladder, they’re good at

climbing up the ladder and not much else.That’s why hierarchies are dysfunctional.

Try and stay flat!”

Craig Newmark, craigslist

Generosity

“There’s a growing realisation that, in lots of cases,having less control and giving a wider access to

what you’re working on, there’s a benefit:you learn from the mistakes of others just

as they learn from your mistakes."

James Boyle, Creative Commons

In what way do social technologies havethe potential to change the way we work

- and how should traditionalorganisations respond?

For example: pros and cons, impact on the role of the leader/manager,new responsibilities for the individual…?
