What industry experts say about the Digital Workplace report

Published November 1, 2011 by Stephan Schillerwein

The whitepaper “THE DIGITAL WORKPLACE – Redefining Productivity in the Information Age” has gotten quite some attention in the market in the few weeks since its publication.
From Norway to Indonesia, from New Zealand to Canada, from Spain to Vietnam – readers come from around the world and from organizations of all sizes and sectors.

I’ve been impressed by the feedback we’ve received so far and just wanted to share some such statements that other industry experts gave on the report:
“Organisations need to act now on the problems highlighted in this report as work shifts to a digital workplace. Acting quickly and clearly now will gain organisations cost savings and competitive advantage. The longer the solution approaches presented are ignored, the higher will be the risk of failure and increased costs.”

“This report provides a comprehensive, thought-provoking view on the digital workplace and its impact on organizations. It offers both a broad strategic perspective and plenty of facts and figures. I strongly recommend this report to both executives and practitioners who will find it a valuable source of information and inspiration.”
Jane McConnell
NetStrategy/JMC, author of “Digital Workplace Trends 2012”
 
“The biggest problem with intranets today is that they are primarily used for communication and are owned by communication. Therefore the potential for the intranet is not developed into a digital workplace and used to make organisations more efficiently. I welcome this report and hope that CEO’s will read and understand, that the responsibility for the intranet does not belong in communication, IT or HR but in a department directly under the CEO with the sole purpose of making the organisation more efficient. This is much too important for the organisation to be suboptimised to lower positions in the hiearchy.”

“Knowledge work is the foundation of many organizations in the digital age. This report uncovers how we can reshape the view on productivity and transform knowledge into a valuable and sustainable asset. It is a MUST READ for decision makers and communications professionals!”
Reto Stuber, author of the bestselling book “Erfolgreiches Social Media Marketing mit Facebook, Twitter, XING und Co.“
 
“I highly recommend this report. It is based not simply on opinion and conjecture, but on solid research and facts. It will provide organizations with much needed evidence that their internal information systems and practices are in drastic need of an overhaul. It offers a solution which has the potential to fundamentally change the way work gets done in organizations.”
