Working Out Loud – the ultimate change method or just a group therapy? Recap of #wolweek discussions.

Working Out Loud (or short WOL) is very en vogue in recent discussions about the digital transformation of the workplace. In this article we have put together a recap of two discussion threads we had recently about the approach in our event community.

Question of the Week: Is the O365 ecosystem becoming the most dominant platform model for the digital workplace?

In our Slack community for the Enterprise Digital SUMMIT – that can be joined here for free – we have started to ask weekly questions on key issues of the digital workplace community.

Essential Reading Series: Decentralized instead of flat, digitization of the firm, re-focussing on business & overlapping digital trends!

This working week is already nearly at its end – and as every week I have been nudged to some interesting readings by my network and “filter bubble” throughout the week.

Recap on the recent discussions about Zappos struggle with Holacracy
