How
Do You Turn Strategy into Action?
NetGroup Elevator – 27 November 2002
A well thought out business (e-business) strategy is worthless
if it is not effectively adopted within an organisation. Case studies
abound of companies with great strategies who failed due to their
inability to execute. In a business environment where rapid change
is pervasive, and many global businesses function with a federated
governance structure, attempting to successfully communicate & execute
a single strategy is a major challenge.
NetGroup will be tackling this issue with the help of British American
Tobacco, who have employed mechanisms, processes and a governance
structure that they believe will help them successfully deliver the
strategic vision.
If turning business strategy into action is a focus for you, please
join us and share your experience and ideas.
For your interest, we have confirmed attendees
from the following companies:
British Library, BT, Cadbury Schweppes,
Diageo, Direct Line, Marsh, Nestle UK, Shell, Sony, Standard Chartered
Bank and more…

Developing
Communities to Drive Economic Value
NetGroup Member Summit – 22 January 2003
During the dot.com bubble, the power
of online ‘communities’ was a hot topic of discussion and activity.
Unfortunately, with some notable high profile exceptions (e.g. eBay),
communities failed to deliver to expectations (i.e. sufficient economic
value to justify the investment).
Despite or because of lessons learnt during that period, interest
in communities as a corporate business tool is now growing rapidly.
Many experts predict this growth trend will continue and accelerate
in the next few years.
Jos Gielen, Director of Best Practices within Aviva’s (formerly CGNU)
head office, will present a case study on the communities his team
have developed to encourage knowledge sharing & collaborative working
across Aviva’s global business. The case study addresses the business
drivers prompting this action, together with key challenges encountered,
lessons learnt and future plans.
The case study will be followed by an open discussion, where delegates
have the opportunity to engage in a frank exchange of experience,
ideas and difficulties, all in a carefully controlled environment,
behind closed doors.
The Summit’s objectives are to provide cross-industry insight, learning
and ideas around how to harness the potential business benefits of
communities. If you are responsible for knowledge management in a
complex, international organisation or are driving a strategically
focused, community initiative, please join us & participate. |

Strategic Questions…
1.
Are you confident that your team are benchmarking their initiatives
with FTSE companies?
2.
Are your Strategy and CRM teams discussing complex business transformation
issues with other leading organisations, in controlled “non-vendor”
environments?
3.
Are your Corporate Communications, HR and Knowledge Management teams
sharing ‘best practice’ with their peers?
4.
Are you sure you have sufficient corporate relationships to help
save (time and effort) and succeed in today’s environment?
5.
Are you interested in validating your ideas by hosting an ‘invitation
only’ event?

Have
you got an interesting mobility story to share?
In April 2003, we’re holding our next Business Mobility Forum (formerly
Mobile User Forum) to address members key mobility business issues.
We already have two interesting case studies for this event, but are
looking for further member participation. If you have a mobility initiative
where you could benefit from input and feedback from other members,
please let us know. |

A member wanted to know…
In our last edition, we asked if any
NetGroup Members are currently using Google to search internal content?
According to a NetGroup member (who wishes to remain anonymous),
Google does not have a direct support function in Europe and is
therefore not a viable option for large organisations this side
of the pond.
Please let us know if you have anything further to add from your
experience.

Case Studies or other digital business related material which you
have created and would be willing to share with other members?

NetGroup
has moved …
After a spell in leafy Berkshire and a temporary stopover
at the Guinness Brewery in west London, we have now returned to
our roots in central London. Apologies for any inconvenience caused
by two changes of contact details in the past year – we’re now as
geographically close to many of you, our members, as we can get,
so don’t expect further changes any time soon.
