We get to see ourselves being heard. The last and, naturally, most crucial place to be reached by this new wave of empowerment is the meeting room. What I describe in Connected Executives as the connected organization can be even more aptly described as smart. Smart implies a systematic intelligence, both human and artificial. Connected to an entire range of interconnected networks of interconnecting people, connected through an entire system of collaborating collaborative technologies.
Organizational culture is very difficult to change.
It's almost impossible to identify the real guardians of the status quo. They can be anywhere in the organization, top or bottom. Connecting the meeting room may only be a small step towards changing the corporate culture, but it's a step that can't be left out.
