Future of Work

DECEMBER 15, 2009

This is the December 2009 issue of our free monthly newsletter, Future of Work Agenda. 2009 has been tough year for just about everyone we know. Based on data from numerous case studies of both success and failure, we are convinced that a systematic approach to selecting a BCC location will promote a positive business outcome. We welcome comments on any of these articles. You can also access the newsletter directly on our website, at this link.

In these meetings individuals exchange their data, conclusions, reasoning and questions with others. The title is a bit of an exaggeration, but intended to make the point that contrary to common belief, our own articulation of an idea adds to our understanding of that idea. At face value that doesn’t make much sense, after all we must know what we think about an issue; how else are we able to talk about it? But the reality is that what we don’t necessarily know what we know.

But in knowledge work, this is heightened so that our perceptions are often "concept-driven," rather than data-driven. Are we going to be innovating many knowledge workers out of a job because technology can do a lot of the heavy computational and analytic lifting, requiring only a small number of "experts" to actually make sense of the data ?

This report provides an overview of an exploratory scientific, qualitative study conducted by the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) Knowledge Laboratory in April- June of 2009. Analysts, faced with a stream of data from a multitude of sources have the task of finding patterns in that data that will be useful to decision makers. It requires creating hypotheses and testing them against the data and interpretations of others.

Validation also provides seekers the certainty that they have done enough background work, saving the seeker the time it would take to gather further data. As with validation, legitimizing can save the seeker time by reducing the amount of proof or data that may need to be collected before the client is willing to act.

There is both anecdotal and research data to support that, as human beings, we willingly share what we know. I get asked the incentive question a lot. How do we incentivise people to share their knowledge? The question is asked because when managers look around their organizations they don’t see much knowledge sharing going on. This is a serious concern, but I think it is the wrong question.

I am using it in quite a different sense here, to mean the knowledge that is derived from the confluence of diverse perspectives and data from across an organization and that is brought to bear on important organizational issues. It would be a mistake to think of this knowledge, constructed through sensemaking, as being the right answer because collective knowledge is continually being adjusted as new data and new patterns in the data come to light.

Conversations for Mutual Understanding are the conversations we hold to make sense of what we know – to create meaning out of a mess of unstructured data and information. What will help them is a setting where they can argue, using rich data pulled from a variety of media, to construct fresh frameworks of action-outcome linkages that include their multiple interpretations. Trish Silber coauthored this post with me.

But to some extent, we seem bound to find data that supports the patterns we already see, as opposed to seeing new patterns in the data. When the left brain is in full operational mode, we tend to draw not what we actually SEE (which is the raw data coming in), but our concept of that data. The point is, that while we think we see the data, what we really are looking at is our preconceived idea of what that information means.

Citing HR’s inability to produce convincing financial data, financial executives push back on the additional expense. Unfortunately most of these solutions tend to be separate from core business data and therefore lack the ability to perform meaningful financial analysis without significant additional investment.

So our assessment of a 30% “overhang&# is based on solid empirical data. Over the past several months almost all the attention in real estate has been focused on the residential market - foreclosures, sinking prices, and falling sales. But now the tide is shifting towards the commercial side. That’s not really surprising, given the massive layoffs that so many organizations have been announcing - once people are gone, there’s a whole lot of empty offices.
