I followed the tweets from the Social Business Strategy Summit in London last week. I didn’t get to go as 1. I was busy, 2. they didn’t invite to speak and 3. I’ve been getting increasingly irritated by how much focus there is on IT in these events to the exclusion of all else. It’s absolutely not that I’m against technology, but it doesn’t need to be the starting point! (see it’s not not not about the technology).
This event followed pretty much the same pattern, but there were some interesting points on HR’s role in social business, eg:
Luis Suarez@joningham Yes, me, too, Jon! I can’t wait to dive into learning more about HR is shifting gears & see how we can all help #sbss12
@tdebaillon @joningham @deb_lavoy @krcraft @ValdisKrebs They aren’t,but we r!, they need to readjust, if they’d want to retain their talent
@joningham Amen! And why i’m very interested in finding out about HR related events to learn more about their change #sbss12
Thierry de Baillon@joningham @deb_lavoy @krcraft @valdiskrebs @elsua Problem is HR isn't wired for distributed knowledge sharing & social evaluation#sbss12
Jon Ingham@deb_lavoy @krcraft @tdebaillon @ValdisKrebs @elsua HR's already stepping up. Now, as for Marketing & IT- there's another story!!!! #sbss12
RT @ValdisKrebs: @elsua @tdebaillon @deb_lavoy @krcraft Yes! Why Social Capital is the Killer App for "HR"http://orgnet.com/HumanCapitalSocialCapital.pdf #sbss12 /+1
@tdebaillon @deb_lavoy Probably not,but if that gets them to question what they r doing to think deeper I’m happy w/ it;it’s a start#sbss12
deb louison lavoyno RT @krcraft: @tdebaillon Can the advances in HRTech overcome the inherent HR 'Catbert' culture? @ValdisKrebs @elsua@deb_lavoy #sbss12
HR needs to step up RT @tdebaillon: @ValdisKrebs @elsua@deb_lavoy @krcraft Agree. And maybe the way out from outdated HR processes #sbss12
@ValdisKrebs @elsua @deb_lavoy @krcraft Agree. And maybe the way out from those outdated HR processes #sbss12
Kelly CraftRT @deb_lavoy: no RT @tdebaillon: @elsua @deb_lavoy And still are. A question: is adopting social enough to make them change?#sbss12
Valdis Krebs@elsua @tdebaillon @deb_lavoy @krcraft Yes! Why Social Capital is the Killer App for "HR"http://orgnet.com/HumanCapitalSocialCapital.pdf #sbss12
@elsua @deb_lavoy And still are. A question: is adopting social enough to make them change? Not sure #sbss12
@hyounpark And funny enough I would include HR in that lot, too! Interestingly enough hehe #sbss12 we had it right at the heart!
I do think some of the remarks were unfair – HR (or more precisely often OD) is doing some great work in this area. But I do wish HR practitioners would show more interest in the non-HR areas of social business too.
