The World is Changing .Serco InternalAnd of course the world changes and keeps on changing all the time but not just in technology terms. The world and society has changed its expectations how we are now expected to work and lead is also changing rapidly10People ChangeGen XGen YGen Z
Baby Boomers Millennials Digital NativesSerco InternalAnd with each age-group the use of digital technology advances we may well still have issues about digital engagement and effective use of technology in our businesses now but think of 5 and 10 years from now and the sort of people youll be working with employees, customers11Employment is Changing
Serco InternalPortfolio employment online support for sub-contracting and casual employment models are growing but is your business equipped to deal with employing people in these ways yet .
Have you got the skills needed for a leader of a business which can switch-up to the new models trading strongly online, investing in digital skills development, employing people in fluid, flexible ways?12Business with no change?
Serco InternalWe all recognise very clearly whats happening to those businesses which are not investing in good use of the web especially retail businesses13% of sales online
6% of UK Sales 2.6 billion33% of UK Sales 2 billion digital Serco InternalTesco 6% of UK Sales (2.8 bn)
Pearson 33% - 2 bn digital (Penguin books 17% - book revenues online and Financial Times subscriptions : 316k digital versus 286k print)

Is this your business?Time wasting, a distraction?Does it offer effective promotion, engagement and advertising? UK is in many cases ahead of game on this - Real resistance among CEOs Serco InternalReal resistance among CEOs to engage with social media fully time wasting, distractions, low skills and understanding this is still a very common situation
Another common situation is that we dont believe that platforms like Facebook really do offer effective promotion, engagement and advertising and they dont in the old-school sense
But they really do in terms of now many people now use these systems as their updates, contacts systems, regular drop-in space online . And UK is in many cases ahead of game on this - 15

Serco InternalQuestions for leadersHow can you lead your business in the digital world?How can you be strategic around digital?How can you stand out as leader ?How can your organisation gain advantage?Serco InternalGaining the digital advantageDigital transformation is causing a tectonic shift in how companies are structured and led, and how they perform and compete.
The data is clear: digitisation is increasing the pace of change throughout the economy, even in sleepy mainstream industries.
The coming years will witness digitally-driven changes in the business world that make everything thats happened so far look like a prelude.Serco Internal
Serco InternalSmall businesses still make up a very large part of UK businesses trading and employment base.
And in small businesses where high levels of web is being integrated there is very strong evidence of the success stories sales growth, more jobs = sustainable futures
Figures for high-web and low-web show very clearly the correlation between good use of digital talent and business success20Digital Leaders make strategic choices about where to investCustomer engagementInternal operationsCollaborationNew business models
Serco InternalDigital Leadership Which are you?POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR
PROACTIVE BEHAVIOURREACTIVEBEHAVIOURNEGATIVEBEHAVIOUR
Serco InternalHow about if we applied use of digital/social media skills to the Lively Leadership model what reflections do we have of the behaviours on Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, websites?
Lazy Leaders let others do the digital developments, usually stick with the tools they are most comfortable with avoid social media?
Lordly Leaders like blogging because they can present their views and ego-centric thoughts not so keen if people respond or worse-still challenge their opinions!
Lovely Leaders will be drawn to Facebook they love having more-and-more Friends and the social nature of interactions
Lively Leaders very active on Twitter? but use all social media tools to their best advantage they like engagement, thought leadership, developing online collaboration
Sideliner reading, but not interacting, lurking, RTingJoiner prolific interaction everything & anythingLeader commentators, thinkers, provocateurs

Serco InternalCrowdsourcing
Serco InternalCrowdsourcing websites1. Odesk Employers post their job requirement and members apply for the job. Its just like your typical matchmaking service without the mixed signals and the requirement for dinner and flowers.2. Pickydomains Its not easy to think of a domain name that embodies your business to a T in 8 characters or less. Business owners post their requirements and contributors get to create a name for that business. Its a name game, except you dont sing bananapana. You can if you wanted to, though.3. CloudCrowd Members also apply for projects but with a referral program that makes it twice more fun. Here you can make more money when your referral completes a task. Sounds like something people do out on the streets, right? Only, this is done in the comfort of your home.4. Poptent Use this for advertising requirements. This is where you will find the next James Cameron. Ok, maybe not. But, you will find a lot of talent here.5. Amazon Mechanical Turk It is here because the list is not complete without it. Emblazoned on the banner are the words Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work. There you go! Many have been said about this site, both positive and negative. You be the judge.
