2015年五大网络预测摘要：2015年相比14年而言，将会带来更多的网络革新，大数据将更大更强、软件定义的事物将越来越多、新的高标准将成为主流、物联网向万物互联迈进以及CTO的作用将会越来越大，面对这些发展趋势，你做好准备了吗？
2014年是大科技变化的一年。可穿戴技术开始崭露头角、多个知名企业为客户信息做出让步而遭受数据的入侵、云计算成为公司存储信息的标准、所有事物都变成软件定义的，并且大数据成了主流。
尽管如此，2015年将会带来更多的技术创新，尤其是对于网络基础设施。接下来的五大网络预测是由 IT networking company nfrastructure 的 CEO Dan Pickett提供。
大数据将变得更大更好
目前已经有数十亿已连接的设备以及新的技术在生产大量的数据。在2015年，连接的设备数量将继续增长，因此你公司的知识财富也会随着增长，并能够使用大数据来改进业务流程。从发展最有效的生产过程到创造惊人的客户体验，这些业务的所有方面，都将源于投资公司收集并有效的使用大数据，要确保你的公司有这样的能力来收集和运用这些数据，为公司带来尽可能多的价值。
速度和敏捷性
一切都是移动在线的。传统的消费品，如家庭安全系统、灯和加热物件、打印机和扫描仪等办公软件，这些都将被连接起来。随着越来越多的网络和产品变成“软件定义”，以及对创建和部署网络的物理限制逐渐消失，这也是企业和客户一直都期待更快的连通性。这些连接的设备将不断地零延迟的更新。现在开始为这次潮流准备你的网络，以确保一切都是最新的、最安全的。
更多的采用、更高的标准
在设备、通信协议、中间件和应用等这些网络市场上，有一种压倒性的混合技术。这项技术带来了新的主要标准，并且提高了互通性。随着2015年连接的设备成为一种标准，目前这些技术采用的障碍将会被取消。网络设设备之间的流动性将会产生更多集成的解决方案，这对业务来说有很大的价值。当你为这种转变准备时，技术顾问对于你的业务可能会很有价值。
物联网变为万物互联
物联网已经出现在我们的视野里。并且已经惊人地占据了业务和日常生活的集成部分，甚至我们对它还没有任何认知。自从2013年以来，超过6.5亿个新的物理对象实现了在线。这个数字还在不断地扩大，这意味着网络需要优化、准备增加带宽，来跟上这种增长。在2015年，每个有业务的部分都将会把重点放在万物互联的策略上，所以要准备把万物互联合并到你的业务计划和预测当中。
为CTO铺路
IT的消费化持续渗透到企业的每个部门。在2015年，可以预期，曾今对IT兴趣不大的那些终端用户，将由新的技术以及连接设备授予他们权利。当这一切发生时，CTO这个角色将会继续扩大，并会成为最高管理层里的一个至关重要的角色。2015年，CTO们将会把矛头指向科技的创新，并且商业活动将不仅仅局限于IT，还将会扩散到市场营销、人力资源和金融业务。宜早不宜迟，同时要确保将所有业务部门整合到科技的决策过程是一个平稳的过渡。

【实用帖】都说社交招聘很火，但具体该怎么做呢？
原文作者：JeffHaden
在尝试过一切的招聘方法后，只要四个步骤，可以让你放弃『发布岗位说明书的招聘信息』、『收集、删选简历』等繁杂的传统招聘作业。
J.T. O'Donnell说：
我们都知道招进好人才是事业的成功关键。但是，忙碌的创业者，并没有筛选大量简历的时间。然而，你不能因此而把整个招聘流程外包给出去！
我已经很久不看简历了，在过去的工作经历告诉我，从简历评估候选人的效果很差。我也不再制作传统的职位招聘需求，因为那会招来海量的不合格的履历，我还得逐一过滤。
（J.T. O'Donnell,是Careerealism.com、CareerHMO的创办人与CEO）
下面是Donnell的4步法，不但简化了传统的大量招聘工作，同时还找到了优秀的员工。
【步骤一】：不要发布『岗位说明书』，只发布『要你解决的问题』
（1）把新进员工要解决的问题写下来，尽量详细地描述。同时也解释他们要为企业减轻那些痛苦，以及你希望他多快就可以完全承担这个角色。
（2）说明你企业存在的理由。一样，也要尽量地描述。还有，你的企业解决了客户什么问题？为客户缓解了那些的不适？
（3）总结说明一个合格的求职者该如何尽力达到成果。
【步骤二】：请求职者回答3个关键行为面试题
请候选人充分分享他们对下述问题的看法：
（1）你对我们的业务与所处行业，有什么认识?
（2）对于我们『该做什么，才能让客户感到有重大意义』这件事，你如何来学习？
（3）对于我们业务，你最有兴趣的方面是什么？
【步骤三】：请他们提供社交平台的帐号、个人信息，查看是否符合候选人的资格（LinkedIn profile, Twitter）
清楚告示，要求求职者在回答上述3个问题与社交情况之前，绝不要寄给你任何简历或其他信息。
【步骤四】：提供一个化名的email，让求职者将答案直接给寄到此email
（此举应该是避免他透过你正式的Email查出你的社交平台帐号）
设定以上发布后10个工作日后，作为最后期限，要求有兴趣的候选人在最后期限内，把三个答案寄给你指定的Email。然后，请在你全部的社交平台张贴这些回答，接着，坐等合适的候选人上门面试。
为什么『4步法』会有效？
1.懒虫一看到要回答这么多问题，不会来申请。
2.寄履历表来的人，一定是没仔细看要求，可以直接删除。
3.最后期限驱使候选人尽速提交申请资料，当然，也可以筛掉懒人。
4.透过三题回答，可以看出候选人的撰写与沟通的风格、能力与技巧。你会看见他们如何理解和链接自身与企业之间的关系、以及他们希望扮演的角色。
5.透过他们提交网路社交帐号的机会，直接呈现他们想对你展示的专业信息。不愿意提供社交帐号的人，也许他们有一些想对你隐藏的事，他们也不会来申请。
6.你可以从最棒的回答中看出：候选人如何解决你的问题、为何他是解决你问题的适当人选。这也将为你未来进一步的招聘“首次面试”变得轻松、有效，同时你也知道了，在首次面试中要问些什么。
7. 由于求职者事先用心回答了问题，他们会更投入你后续安排的面试与招聘流程。 (既然他们花了时间，他们就更想得到这份工作。)也很棒的是，得到这份工作会让求职者，会有“胜利赢家”的感觉，他们会更有冲劲，试着在一开始工作就试着超越你对他们的期望。
不妨试试看吧！求职的数量会下降，而求职的品质会提升。 这会让你更有智慧地应付招聘作业，而不是辛苦地工作。

Is This the Perfect Way to Hire?
You don't ask for resumes and you skip the traditional job posting. Onefounder says this four-step process trumps everything else she's tried.
Hiring the right talent is vital to the success of yourbusiness. But busy entrepreneurs don't have time to waste sifting through dozens of resumes to evaluate candidates.
"But at the same time you can't--orshouldn't--outsource the entire process," says J.T. O'Donnell, founder and CEO of Careerealism.com, a job search advice site, andCareerHMO, a career coaching membership site.
"I stopped asking for resumes a long time ago,"she says. "Years in the staffing industry taught me they weren't useful when evaluating candidates. I also stopped creating 'traditional' job postings altogether since they only resulted in a tidal wave of applicants to wade through, the majority of whom were unqualified for the role."
Here's the approach she takes to streamline the processand still ensure she finds and hires great employees:
Step 1: Don't post a job; post the problem the employee will solve.
Write out what problem this new hire is going to solve.Be rich in details. Explain what pain they will alleviate and how you see them accomplishing that as quickly as possible in the role.
Next, explain why your company exists. Again, be rich indetails. What problem does your company solve? What pain does it alleviate forits customers?
Finally, tie in how the right candidate will support those efforts.
Step 2: Ask candidates to answer three key behavioral questions.
Ask candidates to share as much as they can about the following:
What do you know about our business and industry?
How did you come to learn that what we do is important to our clients?
What is your favorite aspect of our business, and why?
Step 3: Ask for their LinkedIn profile, Twitter name, and any other online presence that supports their candidacy.
Make it very clear you do not want a resume or any othermaterials submitted beyond answering your three questions and providing socialprofile links.
Step 4: Provide an alias email address and have applications sent directly to you.
Set a deadline of 10 business days for applications to besubmitted. Then share the posting via all your social channels and sit back and wait for the right applicants to come in.
Why does this approach work?
1.Slackers won't apply, since they see researching your company and writing out answers to your questions as too much work.
2.Candidates who submit a standard cover letter and resume clearly did not read and follow directions. They can be eliminated without a second thought.
3.The deadline motivates candidates to get their applications in, again, weeding out the lazy folks.
4.Asking candidates to answer your three specific questions provides a sense of their writing and communication style and ability. You'll also see how well they understand and connect with both your business and the role they hope to fill.
5.Asking for Linkedin profiles and other social media presence gives candidates a chance to direct you to professional information they want you to see. If for some reason they don't want you to see their online presence (maybe they have something to hide?) they won't apply.
6.The best responses show how the candidate can solve your problem and why he/she is the right person to solve that problem. That also makes for a far more relaxed and productive first interview; you'll have more to talk about.
7.Applicants are more committed to the interview and hiring process simply because they invested in the process during the application stage. (In part they'll want to land the job simply because of the time they put in.) Better still, landing the job will feel like a big "win" and they'll be more likely to try to exceed your expectations when they start.
Give it a try. You'll increase the quality of theapplications you receive while decreasing the quantity, letting you worksmarter, not harder, on your hiring process.

揭秘社交媒体的9大虚假神话[摘要]社交媒体已经改变了我们销售、营销以及公共关系等，然而有关社交媒体依然有许多误解。
印度企业家、作家、公共演讲家阿维纳什·卡西克（Avinash Kaushik）曾发文称：“社交媒体就像青少年性爱，每个人都想尝试，但却没人真正了解。而当最终梦想实现时，他们却发现并非像想象中那样美好。”那是2009年时的情景，今天，社交媒体已经改变了我们销售、营销以及公共关系等，然而有关社交媒体依然有许多误解。我们搜集了9个社交媒体神话，并尝试解开它们。
神话一：Facebook、Twitter以及LinkedIn为社交媒体下了定义。
商务教授安德里亚斯·卡普兰（Andreas Kaplan）和迈克尔·亨莱因（Michael Haenlein）曾对社交媒体下定义，称其为“一组基于互联网的应用，这些应用建立在Web 2.0的理念和技术基础之上，即允许创造和交流来自用户产生的内容”。
而Facebook、Twitter以及LinkedIn等绝对是最好的社交网站，但也有许多相对来说不太受欢迎的社交网络，包括协作项目Wikipedia、微博客Tumblr以及YouTube与Dailymotion等内容社区。企业协作工具Sharepoint、Yammer等也可被归入社交媒体范畴。所有这些网站都有自己独特的用户群，需要与用户成功交流的不同策略。
神话二：社交媒体导致普通员工生产力下降。
我们听说过许多类似故事，比如学生因迷恋Facebook以至于注意力下降。这种影响如此巨大，以至于许多人不得不在考试期间停用Facebook账户，以强迫自己集中注意力。
可是，在职场，社交媒体侵蚀生产力的说法不成立。Ipsos与微软对全球32个国家近万名信息职员调查显示，46%的人称他们的生产力因为在办公室中使用社交媒体而有所提高。在此情况下，社交媒体包括即时通讯、短信、视频会议、news feeds、社交网络以及SharePoint等团队网站。
神话三：社交媒体工具不利于工作环境。
在Ipsos与微软的调查中，34%的员工认为，管理层低估了社交媒体工具带来的好处。37%受访者称，如果公司能为职场提供使用社交媒体工具的更好环境，他们的工作表现将更好。
此外，麦肯锡咨询公司的研究也显示，在消费包装产品、零售金融服务、先进制造业与专业服务等特定行业，如果公司能够全面使用社交技术，可以改善企业内部与外部的协作与沟通，这会提高生产力20%到25%。
神话四：通过社交媒体招聘只会吸引低素质求职者。
由于通过社交媒体求职没有任何障碍，为此求职者的素质自然是参差不齐。这很容易让人产生求职者平均素质很低的印象，不如通过招聘机构选择那些特定范围内的求职者。
然而，布莱顿企业管理学院的研究显示，94%的求职者使用社交媒体找工作，49%的招聘者发现求职者的素质正得到极大提高。实际上，在18到34岁年龄段之间的求职者，73%的人通过社交网络找到最新工作。求职招聘网站Jobvite2013年社交招聘调查显示，最好的求职者通过推介获得，其次就是通过社交网络招聘。
神话五：社交媒体导致普通员工对工作兴趣下降。
大数据公司Evolve对美国呼叫中心的约4万名工作人员进行抽样调查显示，那些每周使用1到4个社交网络网站的员工比他们的同事留在工作岗位上的时间更长。对4991名员工进行第二类实验显示，那些经常使用5种社交网络以上的员工，比那些不使用社交网络的人的销售额更高，而且花费时间更少。
神话六：不使用社交媒体的财政结果并不重要。
麻省理工学院与咨询公司Capgemini Consulting的研究发现，进行社交媒体和数字媒体培训具有关键性作用，数字化密集型公司的表现要比非数字化公司在财政方面表现更好。报告称，数字强度更高的公司从他们的实物财产方面获得的收入更高，每位雇员贡献的收入、净利润率以及市场价值都更高。
神话七：社交媒体永远无法进行直接销售。
2009年，戴尔公司通过其Twitter帐号营收300万美元。这个账号收听粉丝的心声，有许多杰出消费者参与。如果一个品牌能够获得消费者支持，并倾听目标用户关心的话题，它可能会通过社交渠道推动产品。
如果品牌想获得更多好处，它们需要走近社交媒体，将其作为培养在线消费用户群的良机，而不仅仅将其当作销售渠道。只要团队保持至诚，只需适度的提及产品，它们就能向消费者提供有帮助的工具，而非成为恼人的销售伎俩。
神话八：没人再使用社交新闻聚合网站了。
Digg、StumbleUpon以及Reddit等社交新闻聚合网站依然很受欢迎。随着Facebook、Twitter以及LinkedIn社会news feeds的到来，有人认为它们可以取代社交新闻聚合网站。可是，网站通讯流量监测机构Statcounter社交媒体全球统计表明，StumbleUpon和Reddit依然十分活跃，在过去一年中，这两家网站的平均流量甚至超过YouTube。
神话九：老年人在社交媒体上不够活跃，为此针对这个群体的行业不必烦扰。
美国皮尤研究中心2013年调查显示，在65岁以上的美国人中，43%的人至少使用一家社交网站，2010年这一数字为26%，2008年更是只有1%。目前，有3900万65岁以上老人正在使用Facebook、Twitter以及Skype，他们也是这些网站用户增长最快的群体。为此，千万不要低估他们的力量！（风帆）
9 myths about social media at work
Avinash Kaushik, an Indian entrepreneur, author and public speaker, once tweeted that “Social media is like teen sex, Everyone wants to do it. No one actually knows how. When finally done, there is surprise it’s not better.”
That was in 2009. Today, social media has transformed the way we do sales, marketing and public relations – yet there are still many misconceptions about social media. We’ve rounded up nine common myths and research to debunk them.
Myth 1: Social media is defined as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
Business professors Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as “a group of internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content.”
Whilst Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn definitely top the list of social networking sites, there are many less popular forms of social networks out there. These can include collaborative projects such as Wikipedia, microblogs such as Tumblr and content communities such as YouTube and Dailymotion.
Enterprise collaboration tools such as Sharepoint and Yammer also count as social media. All of these sites have their own unique audiences and require various strategies to successfully engage with fans.
Myth 2: Social media makes the average worker less productive
We’ve all heard stories about students who get distracted from studying due to Facebook and use it as a method of procrastination; so much so that people had to intentionally deactivate their Facebook accounts during exam periods so they could concentrate.
However, this dip in productivity does not necessarily hold true for the workplace.
Ipsos and Microsoft surveyed roughly 10,000 information workers across 32 countries and found that 46 percent of workers said their productivity had greatly or somewhat increased because ofsocial use in the office. In this case, social media encompassed instant messaging, text messaging, video conferencing, news feeds, social networks and team sites such as SharePoint.
Myth 3: Social media tools are not beneficial in the work environment
In the same Ipsos and Microsoft study, 34 percent of workers indicated that management underestimated the benefits of social media tools, and 37 percent said that they could do their job better if the organization’s management was on-board with the use of social tools in the workplace.
Furthermore, a study by McKinsey stated that certain industries like consumer packaged goods, retail financial services, advanced manufacturing and professional services could raise productivity by 20 to 25 percent if companies fully implemented social technologies which help improve collaboration and communication within and across enterprises.
Myth 4: Recruitment via social media attracts poor-quality candidates
As there are no barriers to applying for jobs via social media, the quality of candidates naturally varies. It’s easy to believe that the average quality of applications would indeed be lower than if a company went through a recruitment agency which targets the profiles of candidates of a certain caliber.
However, research from the Brighton School of Business Management showed that 94 percent of recruiters use social media for their jobs and 49 percent of employers found an improvement in candidate quality. In fact, 73 percent of 18-34 year olds found their last job through a social network (myself included!)
Jobvite’s social recruiting survey 2013 results found that the highest-rated candidates are sourced through referrals, followed by social networks.
Myth 5: Social media makes the average worker less interested in their job
A study by big data firm Evolve looked at call center staff in the US with a sample size of approximately 40,000 and found that employees who used one to four social networking sites on a weekly basis stayed at their jobs longer than their peers.
Furthermore, in a second experiment with a sample size of 4,991, staff who regularly used more than five social networks demonstrated higher sales in less time than their colleagues who didn’t.
Myth 6: The financial consequences to not engaging in social media are minor
A study by Capgemini Consulting and MIT found that training in social media and all things digital is a deciding factor in why digitally-intense companies outperform their less Web-savvy counterparts financially.
The report stated that “companies with stronger digital intensity derive more revenue from their physical assets.” They also generate more revenue per employee, have higher net profit margins and higher market valuations.
Myth 7: Social media will never generate direct sales
In 2009, Dell made $3 million in sales from just one of its Twitter accounts. This account also had a history of listening to fans, and excellent consumer engagement.
If a brand is able to build a following of consumer advocates and listen to the concerns of its target audience, it might be able to get away with slightly pushing products via social channels.
Still, brands need to approach social media as a chance to foster an online consumer base rather than just another sales medium if they want to gain these other benefits. As long as the team remains genuine, and only mention its product in moderation, they can offer helpful tools for consumers instead of overload them with annoying sales pitches.
Myth 8: No one uses social news aggregators anymore
Social news aggregators like Digg, StumbleUpon and Reddit are still popular—and relevant. With the advent of social news feeds on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, one might think that they’ve replaced the social news aggregators.
However, Statcounter’s global stats for social media show that people are still quite active on StumbleUpon and Reddit. Both sites have had higher average traffic than YouTube for the past year.
Myth 9: Senior citizens are not active on social media so businesses targeting this demographic shouldn’t bother
The Pew Research Center found that in 2013, 43 percent of Americans over 65 used at least one social networking site, compared with 26 percent in 2010 and 1 percent in 2008.
At time of publication, there are 39 million people aged 65 and older using Facebook, Twitter and Skype, making them the fastest growing age demographic on these sites. Don’t underestimate this power generation!
