Tricky projects
Today I decided to go work from the office because I wanted to meet the group of junior engineers I saw at the cafeteria on Thursday.
I sat in the cafeteria for a long time. As I was about to give up and go home, the same men came in and sat at a table. After they finished their lunch, they pushed the trays aside, spread a technical blueprint on the table and started discussing it.
I approached them, introduced myself and asked their names. Adam Baker and David Pink were the most vocal.
Adam explained that they work in the Projects team. They have joined Cablinc recently and they don’t have much professional experience. They regularly meet to socialise and discuss current projects, tricky situations, etc.
Sometimes they have these sharing sessions online but they prefer to have them IRL: webcalls are great but not very convenient to lean over a large blueprint.
I am guessing this is the way they found to deal with the little access they have to the more experienced engineers.
Good knowledge sharing practices supported by adequate enterprise social tools can improve organisational performance. Attend Social Now to see how it can be done.
