The Human Cloud: Elastic Workforce in the Enterprise

Crowdsourcing has captured the imagination of people in the enterprise. The concept is that of a “Human Cloud” for labor. While it has proven itself effective, in many cases, modern managers are confused, wondering which everyday tasks can be crowdsourced, how to define the tasks, and under what conditions an elastic workforce is the right decision? In a conversation with three of the leading minds in crowdsourcing, we ask how an elastic workforce can be utilized, and what managers should understand when considering such solutions.

The Rise of the Enterprise Social Inbox

In the enterprise world, many believe “social=bad”. But if you put different monikers on “identity and relationships”, it sounds less novelty and more productivity. The addition of Facebook to our world is happening and there will be some awkward moments as it weaves itself into our working lives. To try and avoid issues by throwing ourselves against the door of change will only delay how we learn to leverage it as a tool in the enterprise. Communications between customer and company are getting organic and informal. Make sure that you and your employees are a part of that conversation.

Speakers:Jeff Bonforte – CEO, Xobni
