Today work is changing! There are 3 things that I see as significant changes in the work day:
1. Prioritization is critical in the new work world due to information overload. I get over 500 emails a day! I have to be able to prioritize the most important work. This makes me think of what Gandhi once said, “Action expresses priorities.”
So, everyday I have a list and cross off those items that don’t make the cut! This is one reason I love IBM Verse! With help from analytics, my inbox is now organized and prioritized, showing the top five actions that I owe or that I am owed, and when they are due! Sweet!!!
2. Sharing is now more powerful than hoarding information
When I went to school, it was all about memorizing information. But today true value is in sharing information. My daughter, in a recent assignment at school, was asked to find the answer to questions through googling. But she had to ensure that the information came from a trusted source.
With this new IBM announcement of IBM Verse, it enables my sharing. I can share a file or conversation in just two clicks. Chat and meeting functions are built in, so collaboration is fluid. It’s easier than ever to share information and build great relationships. How cool is that?!
3. Work when you want but not all the time!
I love being able to work at any moment, but don’t like having to work at every moment. Today, a mobile device is freeing …..and is the new style of work. Doing your mail while waiting to pick up your kids!
With IBM Verse, my team now has integrated business communications even when on the road, and I love it! Sharing is fast and easy. Chat and meeting functions are built in, so collaboration is fluid. And I no longer get lectures from IT about security and cost.”
Here’s a quick video that shows you even more ways IBM Verse is designed to help you get your work done more efficiently!
