The Operations Director of Consulting Management, needs to select a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system
Imagine the workplace of the near future. CEOs remain troubled, despite the recovery. Globalisation and Internet have accelerated disruption and they are no longer certain where the next big threats are coming from.
The ‘war for talent’ is raging as poaching is back and baby boomer retirements are hitting critical mass. The succeeding smaller workforce generations are becoming increasingly scarce and stretched. Vital business knowledge and relationships have been lost. Employees are struggling to cope with legacy command and control practices and the silo-based technologies that served the business so well in the recent past. Employee engagement is deteriorating and staff turnover is on the increase as workers become increasingly frustrated with their environment and the tools they use to do their work.
The winners in this near future will be those enterprises that pay attention to the needs of a networked organisation. Relationships are what matter most in the knowledge economy. Sharing and collaboration in the workplace will become just as prolific as in the consumer world of friendships if people are connected and empowered to use their own initiative.
Enterprises now have the opportunity to engage much more efficiently with their employees and build external networks many times the size their immediate internal community. The ‘network effect’ of adding more and more users will provide exponential growth opportunities for the users and create competitive edge in recruitment, business and networking for the enterprise.
