Enterprise Social Networks Booming
|
|
|
The enterprise social software market is projected to grow 72% in 2008 according to Bersin & Associates Social Market Study. Based on information collected, the market itself will likely continue to be dominated by stand-alone social software application providers through 2009, but the other enterprise application providers (CMS, intranet, CRM, LMS, TM suites, and others) will soon be entering this space. Microsoft SharePoint deserves special attention as a major focus for growth in adoption of social software in the enterprise. Microsoft's partnerships with many of the social software providers will likely prove a winning formula for all companies involved, says the report.

|
McKinsey surveys show that business leaders around the world have become deeply concerned about the intensifying competition for talent. Few companies, however, make it an integral part of a long-term business strategy, and many even try to raise short-term earnings by cutting talent-development expenditures. Other factors compound the recruitment difficulties: minimal collaboration and talent sharing among business units, ineffective line management, and confusion about HR's role, not to mention challenges such as Generation Y employees seeking greater work/life balance, expansion into global markets, and the specific needs of the fast-growing category of knowledge workers.
According to the study, line managers believe HR lacks the capabilities to develop talent strategies and is not held accountable for the success or failure of talent-management initiatives. The research reveals another issue: the declining influence of the human-resources function. Only HR, though, can translate a company's business strategy into a detailed talent strategy.
HR professionals should assert their influence and provide credible and proactive business counsel and support for individual business units.
