At a ASNET Board (1) seminar in September on digitalization,\u00a0Tete Mensa-Annan Director Microsoft Technology Center gave a great presentation on the four dimensions of digital transformation as they apply to most companies.<\/p>\n
Digital transformation is according to Tete a continuous iterative process working on four dimensions: , Engage your customers, Transform your products, Optimize your operations and Empower your employees.<\/p>\n
In our previous posts we wrote about how ExO-Tools might be applied by SMExOs (Small Medium sized Exponential Organizations)\u00a0to\u00a0engage with customers<\/a>\u00a0, to\u00a0\u00a0transform your products<\/a>\u00a0or to optimize your operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n In this post we discuss how ExO-tools may be applied to empower your employees.<\/p>\n Tete said about empowering your employees that “Employees need digital and intelligent tools adapted to their specific needs and workstyle. They need insight, knowledge and access to data across devices and geography. Empowering your employees enables them to make the right decisions and allows them to utilize their full potential for the benefit of your company and their job satisfaction<\/em>.”<\/p>\n How could an SMExO (Small Medium sized Exponetial Organization) apply ExO-Tools to empower your employees?<\/strong><\/p>\n Perhaps ExO-tools like Social Technologies, Autonomy and Staff-On-Demand may be applied when you empower your employees?<\/p>\n Social Technologes are Exo-Tools that facilitate coherence and engagement within your SME-organization as well as with your community and clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n Social Technologies foster horizontal interactions even in vertically organized companies. Most importantly, they reduce information latency\u2014shortening the time from idea to acceptance and implementation.\u00a0 Examples of social technologies include file sharing, telepresence, virtual worlds and emotional sensing tools. Social Technologies keep communication channels open. More communication\u00a0allows for greater transparency, and importantly, this keeps the organization connected to its\u00a0massive transformative purpose (MTP).<\/p>\n Why are Social Technologies important?<\/strong><\/p>\n Key questions you should ask yourself:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.smexo.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Empower_Employees.png?resize=847%2C401&ssl=1\")
