Background Notes
The Digital Workplace
•
GoGrid, citing Intelligent Office, suggests that the nature of work and the
workplace is changing due the emergence of mobile and cloud computing
technologies.
•
The study conducted by Intelligent Office highlighted the teleworking trend,
noting that more people are working outside the office every day. The
survey polled more than 1,000 employees across the United States and
Canada and found that 70% of respondents regularly alternate between
working from home and going to the office, while another 29% said they like
to do business in other locations, including libraries, cafes and hotels.

The Digital Workplace
•
The survey also suggests that today’s workers are continuing to shift
towards a more personal and custom work style.
•
A new breed of worker is conducting business on the go and wants to be
able to work more independently, from anywhere and at any time.

Datasexual Employees?
•
Datasexuals are people preoccupied with personal data.
•
Big Think (2012) suggests that true datasexuals are both collecting and
recording data from the web as well as broadcasting data with the help of
mobile devices.
•
The Placeme app is an example – it plugs into the monitoring functionality
of a mobile device and relentlessly records all of the user’s personal data on
a highly granular level.

Torus Insurance's ESCAPE
Broker Portal
•
Named as one of Celent’s Model Insurers for 2012 for Best Practice Londonbased Torus Insurance's new broker portal, created to be the ‘iPhone of broker
portals’ provides an innovative functionality for brokers within the industry.
•
ESCAPE's (Excess Casualty Portal Entry) features include a quick-quote
capability that lets producers provide a preliminary price to their clients rapidly,
avoiding the full underwriting process; live chat with underwriters, enabled
through a co-browsing capability whereby underwriters can share the broker's
screen in real time; the ability to display multiple limit options that spare brokers
the need to re-enter information multiple times for different limits; and immediate
policy issuance upon the binding of risk, including the ability to download a PDF
of the quote, binder and invoice -- a process that often takes weeks or months in
the excess casualty business.
•
Torus spent just five months developing ESCAPE prior to a beta launch in
October 2010 and went live with a final version of the portal on Nov. 1, 2010.
Source: Insurance and Technology, http://www.insurancetech.com/articles/229400255?cid=nl_ins_daily (accessed 07/03/12)
Broker Portal
•
The portal's design and workflow also incorporate visual cues indicating the
status of a user's visit. In other industry systems, brokers can spend 12
minutes or longer before realizing that their risk would require a referral,
potentially adding days to the process. Within ESCAPE, a cartoon figure
nicknamed "Quotie" lets brokers know where they stand.
•
And throughout the query process, ESCAPE constantly checks underwriting
rules and notifies brokers whether they are "in the box" with regard to Torus'
risk appetite.
•
ESCAPE has the ability to quote up to $10 million in limits but whatever limit
users choose, they automatically are supplied with the results of up to 10

Telehuman
•
Telehuman is a video communications system that allows an user to speak
with a three-dimensional representation of another person.
•
Telehuman is enabled by a series of Microsoft Kinect sensors and a 3D
camera equipment which capture the three-dimensional image of each
conversant. On the other end of the computer communications set-up, a 3D
projector casts the image within an acrylic cylinder equipped with a convex
mirror. What results is two people talking to life-like projected images of
each other.

Beam Remote Presence System
•
Telepresence robots let employees ‘beam’ into work.
•
The Beam system is a bot equipped with 2 cameras. The bot’s 17-inch LCD
display and a reliable wireless connection give its remote operator a wide-
angle view of the bot’s surroundings. A microphone array provides high
quality audio that allows the operator to converse with the people in the
distant location. All the operator needs is an internet-connected Windows
PC or Mac, a webcam, and microphone.

Google’s Project Glass
•
Google Glasses - a smart pair of glasses with an integrated heads-up
display and a battery hidden inside the frame, developed as part of Google
Project Glass.
•
The glasses are made of transparent LCD or AMOLED display which puts
information in front of an user’s eyes.
•
The glasses are also location-aware and use voice input and output. Users
wearing Google Glasses will be able to scroll and click on information
simply by tilting the head.

Layar App
•
Layar is an AR app that let readers interact with every page in magazines
that have a Layar logo.
•
Layar (the company) has pre-programmed the app to deliver specific extra
information that relates to every one of these pages. The user simply has to
tap at the augmented pop-over and gets taken to websites, Facebook like
actions, YouTube videos, apps.
•
Layar makes a traditional printed page "pop" more. It adds a long tail to
printed advertising, ensuring that the user remains engaged with the brand
for more time, and in more meaningful ways than simply absorbing the
static information from fixed words and images.

Gamification
•
Alex Manchester, intranet researcher and strategist, believes that
gamification could be a key compelling and creative tool in improving
employee engagement. He argues that the use of game theory and gaming
mechanics in business application development is intensifying day by day.
•
Gamification is based on game theory and gaming mechanics.
•
Game theory attempts to capture mathematically behaviour in strategic
situations, in which an individual's success in making choices depends on
the choices of others.
•
Gaming mechanics are the rules, tools and landscapes of game theory.

Gamification
•
Although not widely applied, gaming mechanics falls under the well
understood business terms of 'reward and recognition', incentives and
bonuses.
•
The bigger picture of gaming mechanics and business software begins with
virtual environments. Second Life and other 'metaverses' have been touted
for some time as areas for business expansion, offering employees new
ways of interacting and drawing on 'avatars' (virtual representations of
people), and increasingly powerful, immersive graphics.
•
The creators Second Life have released an enterprise version of the
software (work.secondlife.com/en-US/) that can be deployed on an
organisation's own servers."
Gamification
•
While collaboration and teamwork in virtual worlds is a growing area of
development, such environments seem to require too much of a leap for most
businesses.
•
Alex Manchester argues that the technical requirements are still too heavy, the
learning curve still too steep, the concept seemingly still too inane for all but the
most progressive organisations.
•
Gamification also encourages co-opetition. This is a process where people with
collective interests can assist each other with some things, while still remaining
fiercely competitive in other areas.
•
In many instances it is the co-opetition behaviours, that are providing businesses
with fresh ideas for motivation and rewards programs in business environments.
Conferences in Virtual Worlds
•
Increasingly, companies like IBM, Schneider Electric, and Intel are holding
their events in Second Life.
•
When Intel’s bi-annual Embedded Channel Conference (ECC) was
canceled, the conference organizers sought a less expensive means to
deliver the same content and level of interaction to 150 employees and
business partners.
•
Encouraged by the work other groups at Intel were already conducting in
Second Life, ECC organizers unanimously decided to execute their
conference in the virtual world.

Conferences in Virtual Worlds
•
The virtual ECC conference (vECC) saved Intel $265,000 of the $300,000
budget for the real world event that they cancelled. The vECC was executed
the pilot event using The Immersive Workspaces™ solution by Rivers Run
Red.
Intel shares best practices for Second Life conferences:
•
Work directly with the corporate IT department early in the early planning
stages to assess desktop system requirements, firewall portals, and
software compatibilities.
•
Pre-event training is key. The more prepared participants are for inworld
events, the greater the focus will be on content instead of accidentally
bumping other avatars or learning how to communicate.

Enterprise App Stores
•
An enterprise app store (EAS) is a place where a company’s employees
can go and get the apps they need, similar to public app stores such as
Apple's.
•
Forecasts suggest that enterprises will develop a slew of apps that their
employees will depend on. EAS will therefore help enterprises distribute,
secure and control the apps their employees use. Gartner believes that EAS
will become more mainstream in 2014.
•
Could internal communication apps facilitate IC in the future?

Enterprise App Stores
•
Employees are not only bringing their own devices to work, many employers
are now equipping their employees with them too. Forrester research
suggests that by 2015, half of the devices on corporate networks will be
mobile.
•
This soaring uptake of mobile devices in the workplace has already started
to create a fragmented mobile application landscape, with many different
apps being used within a corporate environment.
•
Many experts suggest that organisations need to put in place in-house
corporate app stores. General Electric launched their store in 2009, it is
called GE AppCentral.
•
Benefits: among others app installation and usage can be measured.
