Management by Imagination – The Conversation – Harvard Business Review.

The perception that good management is closely linked to good measurement runs deep. How often do you hear these old saws repeated: “If you can't measure it, it doesn't count”; “If you can't measure it, you can't manage it”; “If you can't measure it, it won't happen”? We like these sayings because they're comforting. The act of measurement provides security; if we know enough about something to measure it we almost certainly have some control over it.

But however comforting it can be to stick with what we can measure, we run the risk of expunging something really important. What's more, we won't see what we're missing because we don't know what it is that we don't know.

The Moment Social Media Became Serious Business – Tammy Erickson – Harvard Business Review.

It happened last year, around the first of July. In my experience, the switch was just about that abrupt.

All last spring, most senior business leaders I met shrugged off the business applicability of Web 2.0. Allowing access to social networks in the workplace was something they were willing to consider only if it was absolutely necessary to keep younger employees from complaining. Twitter? What was that?

But by summer, the conversations I was having with senior executives about the use of these new technologies took on a very different tone. Recognition grew that 2.0 technologies could be used to change the way work gets done in fundamental ways. Interest in exploring these new ways of working, of sharing information, of collaborating to enhance productivity and meet business goals, was here.
