Why did CommCo need to change culture as well as the structure of its communication channels as it tried to be both flexible and efficient? bmarent1 https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2462931286 2023-01-31 12:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2462931286 3. How do you think the specific values of ‘open’, ‘inspiring’, ‘straightforward’ and ‘helpful’ were important in CommCo’s move towards managing work of distributed individuals and teams? bmarent1 https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2462931828 2023-01-31 12:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2462931828 Q1 https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469911285 Moved to a mobile working model and allowing employees to talk to each other as if they were physically present , had two types of content , that made my users and that made my professionals , centralised top down structure allows many people to have their say ]]> 2023-02-06 11:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469911285 Question 1 https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469925456 The intranet allowed CommCo to create two types of communication methods:

  • One dedicated to the business, ie organisation content, which is published by dedicated trained communication specialists. As well as providing a dedicated centralised top-down mode of communication. Known as Organisation published content(OPC)
  • Other type of digital communication which can be used and be published by users of the company. Ie can be used for more informal sharing of information and ideas. Known as User generated content(UGC)

Intranet is a private network created using World Wide Web software. No one can access it outside of Commco. Hence they are able to communicate within the organisation through this and have divided it between two contents. Formal information published by trained communication specialists (OPC) and Informal information between employees for sharing of ideas (UGC). 

2. Reducing face-to-face interaction was one of the ways to improve efficiency and increase mobility/flexibility. Therefore to adapt to these new changes Commco had to change its culture to make these new methods effective and to be a flexible and distributed organisation rather than bureaucratic.   

3. These specific values encouraged employees to engage more in the company and its decision-making. They gave a sense of direction for where the company is headed in terms of being flexible and distributed. They also became a motivational force for employees as they got more responsibility and involvement.

Comco updates their workforce on what was happening across the organisation to increase their engagement and sense of belonging. They reduced their face to face contact and moved towards a mobile working model which allowed for employees to talk to eachother virtually as if they were physically in the work place by using different virtual communication channels]]> 2023-02-06 11:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469928682 3 https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469938697 Commco adopted these values as a way to encourage their employees to have a voice and to share information and ideas in a more transparent environment. they contributed to creating a context necessary for the effective use of two modes of communication so employees were engaged in online discussions so they could distinguish personal viewpoints and facts checked by experts. these initiatives helped them move from a traditional bureaucratic organisation to more flexible and distributed]]> 2023-02-06 11:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469938697 PIN 8472 bmarent1 https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469940396 2023-02-06 11:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bmarent1/93k8vw288jkr3zgd/wish/2469940396
