Yesterday I participated in the SAP Game-Changers broadcast, Virtual Hives for Collaboration and Innovation, where I provided my thoughts on the pros and cons of teams using collaboration tools to work together.  

Today'€™s buzz: The hive. Your search for the best talent no longer has to be limited to candidates within driving distance of your site. Now the world can be your proverbial workforce oyster. But before you salivate over the benefits of talent globalization and diversity, first be sure your HR knows what to do when traditional face-to-face team environments are augmented or replaced by virtual ways of working. The experts speak.

  • Alan Lepofsky, Constellation Research: "€™X percent reduction in email’ is not an effective measurement of social business success."
  • John Hagel III, Deloitte: "€œVirtual hives will never achieve their true potential until we move beyond process and protocol to passion and performance."
  • Jason Lauritsen, Talent Anarchy: "Technology is a tool, not a strategy."

Join them and SAP's Sameer Patel for insights on Working Models: Virtual Hives for Collaboration and Innovation.
