“Wij erkennen dat ook binnen ons bedrijf fouten worden gemaakt. Dat willen wij niet goedpraten en daar doen we wat aan. De oproep aan grote bedrijven om te luisteren naar hun klanten en hen niet van het kastje naar de muur te sturen, is duidelijk. Wij zijn ons ervan bewust dat niet altijd alles vlekkeloos verloopt, daarom blijven we werken aan een verdere verbetering van onze dienstverlening. Concreet betekent dit onder andere dat wij ons de komende periode zullen richten op het verkorten van onze wachttijden en het aanpassen van het toestelreparatieproces.“ http://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/htdocs/popup/youpvanthek.aspx

Once upon a time, About 50 years ago, anew & very dangerous technology was invented! Companies did everything in their power tokeep this new technology out of their premises. It would decrease efficiency andcaused a serious threat for the securty of the company.
Let’s continue to travel back to our time. But have a quick stop 15 years ago..... #flashback

We’re back in our currentworld. Nothing changed, we are still afraid of change & innovation.
Limited knowledge brings FEAR! The famous ‘what if someone will be negative?’ question pops up.We solve it by blocking people. Not the way to grasp opportunities.
Note by Steven to audience Sorry for this dumb question I’m about to ask you... (please, please don’t tweet it)
Dilemma! Which company will grow faster? Company A 1000 employees 10% are sending positive stories about their job to their friends. This happens organic, no guidance from their employer Company B 1000 employees 40% are sending positive stories about their job to their friends. This happens based on a great culture & facilitation in sharing great stories

Note by Steven to himself But hey, why should I say sorry for this dumb question as...The large majority of the companies is in situation A (or worse)
And by the way, it’snotjustguessing. McKinsey provedthatconnectedenterprisesexperiencefastergrowththanclosedenterprises. #fact
