The Workplace Community

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"If you are interested in creating vibrant platforms for innovation, problem solving and leadership development and at the same time strengthening your organization's culture, mission and shared values, then this is a book you should read. The Workplace Community is a new way of encouraging creative thinking across organizational departmental boundaries and it allows engagement at every level and with every stakeholder. Highly readable and very practical I have already shared it with my senior management team."

-Mark McGreevy, Group CEO, Depaul International, London

'There has never been a time when work and the workplace are transforming so completely. In this important and timely book, the authors bring their deep technical insight and profound understanding of organisations to show how the communities of work are changing. Through insightful diagnostic tools and fascinating models they show how increasingly corporations will be defined by the communities that exist within them and what it takes to ensure they are as productive, purposeful and collaborative as possible.'

"In today's evolving organizations, employees increasingly seek opportunities to bring external social collaboration experiences 'inside'. The ability to collaborate with peers and management on how to make the organization they work for better regardless of silos or geographic constraints, to be a voice in the decision-making process is critical to sustaining employee engagement. The Workplace Community provides practical, experienced techniques on how to do just that regardless of where you or your organization might be on the collaboration spectrum."

-Liam Cleaver, Vice President, Social Insight and Collaborative Innovation, IBM, Washington, USA

Leaders who suspend judgment and open their minds to this new way of working will be triumphant in activating and engaging employees.
