Social (VII) – Soft skills are needed today more than ever
If some companies have started to realize the importance of soft skills, few have truly incarnated the 21st century’s look for spiritual goals, life purposes, and alignment objectives; some may say that it is not the company’s role to train people in these areas but, when the same is asking for 24hr presence through Blackberry…

Who is accountable for collaboration?
I was watching Gary Hamel’s video on innovation yesterday on Management Innovation Exchange. I must say that I was very impressed by the show.

Par Dominique Turcq, publié par Les Echos le 30 juin 2011 Pour un dirigeant, le problème de l’infobésité est moins celui d’avoir trop d’informations que celui d’avoir trop d’informations pertinentes.

Social (V) – From SMART to SENSIBLE objectives
Everyone remembers the SMART acronym to talk about strategic objectives in corporate planning; no surprise it came about in the early 80’s as financial capitalism was entering its growth phase! Objectives had to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-oriented and Time-bound… How about adapting this to the new era we are entering? We are hereby proposing…

Social (III) – A new leadership paradigm…
Adding to the traditional stakeholders (shareholders, employees, clients), company heads, now, have to take into account a fourth leg that is the social environment (sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, extending into social economy that links private and public objectives together).
