I’ll be talking with Jacoby about these and other aspects of the changing nature of work and what we call the “human cloud” next week, at GigaOM’s Net:Work conference, along with a host of other great speakers. You can register here.
The crucial part about using these new technologies, the Cisco CIO said, is that they allow the company to “create a global pool of talent and resources that can come together dynamically to respond to any situation,” regardless of whether the key players are in North America or Europe or on some other continent. By using video and telepresence, experts from within the technology company can share their expertise more easily with others and extend their reach and knowledge throughout the organization. “It’s not something that happens overnight,” says Jacoby. “It’s iterative. But eventually people learn to collaborate differently — you have to change the culture.”
