Virtual Organizations and Social Networks: The Importance of Communication Convergence

The New Virtual Organization World

It's a New Principled World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized

What is Communication Convergence?

Simply put, communication convergence takes place when a state of equilibrium exists between Oral Communication Skills and Written Communication Skills.

State of Equilibrium

And you might ask, "What do you mean by state of equilibrium?" In this particular case, a state of equilibrium exists when one is able, at their highest communication level, to communicate their thoughts in writing and in spoken words just as efficiently. It does not really matter what your proficiency level is with respect to either set of skills. What really matters is that, at the very least, your highest level of proficiency in one must at least equal the other. This state of equilibrium is not only extremely important to achieve, but also critical, in order to properly "communicate AND be understood" in a virtual organization or social network environment.

Mean What You Write and Say What You Mean

A colloquial definition of Communication Convergence is: Mean What You Write and Say What You Mean. This means that you should avoid the frequent use of: subtle signals and subliminal messages, psychological terms, negotiating postures, innuendos and diplomatic, humorous, colorful and metaphorical terms; especially with individuals you are not accustomed to.

Why is that? That's because when you first join a virtual organization, you are initially going to be judged primarily by what you write and what you say. Thus, it's extremely important that you mean what you write, and say in spoken words what you mean, in a one-two punch combination in order to make sure that you're understood.

Therefore, if, on a A-F grading scale - with F being the lowest level of efficiency, you have a C level of written communication skills, with C being the highest grade of the two sets of skills, then you must strive, at the very least, to attain a C level of oral communication skills in order to properly communicate and be understood within a virtual organization or social network environment. The key words being: 1) to communicate, 2) at their highest level, and 3) be understood.

Importance of State of Equilibrium in a Virtual Environment vs Other Environments: Unit Cohesion

But why is that so important in a virtual organization or social network environment versus other environments?

Well, in a brick-and-mortar environment, there is a myriad number of ways to communicate with others and we have quite a variety of senses at our disposal in order to assess and interpret these various forms of communication. These forms of communication can be direct, physical, physiological, proximal, environmental, cultural, conscious, subconscious, subliminal, visual, audio, audio-visual, etc.

Whereas in a virtual organization or social network environment, we are severely constrained in terms of these forms of communication and the regular means, including proximal means, that we are normally accustomed to using in order to interpret and assess these various forms of communication.

Therefore, these constraints, in and of themselves, lend to a more restrained and less intense form of interaction with others; and normally lead to severe message distortions and very undesirable outcomes in terms of Unit Cohesion.

Thus, there exists an ever-present need to be constantly vigilant in terms of what we want to communicate, what we communicate, how we communicate, and the effectiveness of the communication - meaning being understood.

Meaning and Effect of More Restrained and Less Intense Form of Interaction

So, what do we mean by "more restrained and less intense form of interaction" and how does Communication Convergence solve that problem?

Well, as we all know, in a virtual setting we are, for the most part, deprived of the sort of visual and proximal stimuli in a brick-and-mortar environment that normally engage all our senses and which allow us to automatically match and incorporate sounds (or words) that we hear with everything else that we're actually seeing and feeling around us, based on the sum total of our life experience. And, even under the best of circumstances, no number of visual stimuli (e.g., video communication, etc.) in a virtual environment can fully replicate the experience that you have in a 100% brick-and-mortar environment.

In turn, this means that we have to learn to rely on other senses, which hitherto had been dormant, in order to make up for the lack of visual and proximal stimuli that we are accustomed to. However, that being said, that is not an automatic on/off switch that we have at our disposal when it comes to developing and activating these other senses.

The point being, it does indeed take quite a bit of time in order to fully develop and activate these dormant senses.

Therefore, in order to make up for this sort of sensory deprivation in a virtual environment, it becomes "critical" that we are able to clearly communicate in writing what we want to say. However, that being said, since no amount of written communication can fully convey anyone's thoughts and feelings; and the full context within which they are expressed; it then becomes [imperative] that the information purveyor is instantly available and quickly able to articulate in spoken words the exact meaning of their written communication.

Absent this state of equilibrium between Written Communication Skills and Oral Communication Skills, which I call "Communication Convergence," what we're left with is a severe communication crisis which always results in Virtual Chaos.

A Virtual Organization Example

For example, imagine yourself in a 100% virtual organization writing a letter to John Doe, a newly appointed executive in a highly sensitive leadership position, regarding what you believe is a clear set of unambiguous directives and instructions; which include asking John Doe to immediately contact you for "Oral" discussions upon review of the document.

However, upon receipt and review of your correspondence, John Doe feels differently about these directives and, instead of quickly contacting you for "Oral" discussions, as originally instructed, in order to obtain clarification of your message, he immediately sends you a "Written" reply based on his interpretation of, and/or his feelings about, your message. At which point, you quickly reply and reiterate your original request to John Doe to contact you immediately in order to schedule an "Oral" discussion, at which point you would have had an opportunity to clarify your original message.

However, John Doe -- a very collegial individual with a nonconfrontational personality -- happens to be very uncomfortable when it comes to engaging in "Oral" discussions, especially when it comes to matters of contention and/or disagreement with his superiors or authority figures. Instead, he thus freezes in time and space and continues to communicate in writing with the express purpose of avoiding a direct encounter. At which point, it then becomes very obvious that keeping John Doe in his current virtual organization leadership capacity would be a disaster of Titanic proportions in the making.

Now, I know what you may probably be thinking. Perhaps it was a mistake for you to hire John Doe in the first place without making sure that he did indeed have excellent oral communication skills, which could have easily been determined in advance. And that, by all initial indications and from empirical evidence, it is indeed something that you knew he was lacking.

However, that's a long and completely different story; nonetheless, the short version of this example is still an excellent lesson to learn from.

So, to continue with our example, John Doe happens to be--and also considers himself--a great orator with excellent rhetorical skills, having been on the lecture circuit for quite a few years. However, although John Doe is able to garner quite a few accolades for his "oratory" skills in front of a large audience; just as an entertainer is in his comfort zone when standing in front of a large audience and getting a standing ovation for his performance; John is indeed very reticent when it comes time to communicate "orally" on a one-on-one basis in, what he perceives that others could construe to be, a confrontational manner.

As you can see, there is a huge difference between "oral communication skills" and "oratory skills," the subject of which falls outside the scope of this discussion.

A Social Network Example

Here is another vivid example:

Imagine yourself being contacted by the head of a private social network with respect to a request for your participation and urgent assistance and cooperation; and being showered with accolades, etc. Consequently, you join that private social network and begin to engage in extensive "written communication" with the head of the social network. As well, you begin to contribute your expertise in a number of ways. You eventually proceed to submit an invitation to this individual for an "oral" conversation and, lo and behold, you get absolutely no reply at all. You follow up with your request and still no reply.

Now, let's take the foregoing scenario, but this time with a different twist: You do get a reply, however, the person does not show up. Or the person either finds an excuse to postpone the meeting - and never follows up with you. Or this person just outright avoids the oral communication. In either case, what gives?

Well, there are many reasons for these sorts of behavior. They may have to do with language or cultural barriers, benign neglect and oversight, flawed personality traits, lack of professionalism, fraud, exploitation, attempted theft of intellectual property, corporate espionage, etc.

However, that being said, regardless of the reasons, you are bound to face these situations on a very frequent basis in whichever environment: a virtual organization or social network.

In Conclusion

The foregoing examples reflect the importance of Communication Convergence in a virtual organization or social network environment. As illustrated, regardless of our level of written communication skills, at a minimum, we will always need to reinforce these skills with the same level of oral communication skills in order to make sure that we are fully understood or, at the very least, communicating with someone with the right intentions.

And if we cannot be understood, then we might as well talk to each other in Greek and Chinese, with no one party being able to speak the other's language.

Therefore, in the absence of Communication Convergence, particularly with respect to a virtual organization, we will always wind up with Virtual Chaos. Due to the simple fact that, at the end of the day, after all has been said and done, it's not really about what was said or written, and who was right or who was wrong; it's really all about whether or not we are able to effectively get our message across AND be understood - since we may never get a second chance to start all over again once the goodwill well has been poisoned.

A Call to All Social Media Activists: Time to Virtual Organize Your Social Network!

The New Virtual Organization World

It's a New Principled World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized

No one doubts the explosive power of social networks, however, as the Arab Spring revolutionaries from Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Lybia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, etc. have recently discovered, there is indeed a limit to the power of the social network.

Although the social network allowed them to make that clarion call in order to get their voices heard around the world, they immediately found out the limits of the social network. Governments and people from all over the world, including their own governments, began asking questions about them and wanted to know who represented them and their formal demands.

That's when everything came to a screeching halt! There was no real leader, no real organization to talk to, no real organizational infrastructure, no formal plan of execution or implementation strategy, etc. - just a group of people and sympathizers to the cause who were fed up with the status quo and desperately needed change in their lives.

They never really thought about the need to Virtual Organize their social network. So that once they made the clarion call, the world would know exactly who they are, what they want, who represents them, and how they want to pursue their demands once they have the world's attention. As a result of that lack of preparedness, they had no choice but to go back to Square One and rely on the very Same Old Brick and Mortar Status Quo for help in meeting their needs and aspirations; which meant going back to the fox and ask him to guard the chicken coop.

Results of a Lack of Virtual Organize Your Social Network Strategy

Not knowing How to Virtual Organize Their Social Network means that, after getting out their message to the world and, literally, shedding their blood, sweat and tears:

1. They had everyone guessing about who they were, what they represented, and who they were affiliated with. Their oppressors had a field day preying on everybody’s fear and ignorance by associating them with, and or linking them directly to, favorite bogeymen like Al Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.

2. They had no choice but to go back to and rely on the same military or quasi-military institutions that were the bedrock and foundation of the oppressive regimes they have lived under for decades.

3. They had no choice but to go back to and rely on the same old political operatives and partners of the old regime they so despised to speak for them; operatives who have so-called "jumped ship" and turned over a new leaf in the direction of freedom and democracy. Can you really count on the fox to guard the chicken coop?

4. They had no choice but to allow these very Same Old Brick and Mortar Apparatchik to co-opt their revolution, and put their destiny in the hands of those who were, at the very least, complicit in their oppression and repression - hoping for the best; gambling that all their blood, sweat and tears would not have been in vain.

But You Do Have a Choice: Virtual Organize Your Social Network

As bleak as the current situation seems for social media activists, it really doesn't have to be that way. You do have a choice. If you would like to engage in any sort of social media activism and want to avoid the fate of the Arab Spring revolutionaries, then prepare yourself first by learning How to Virtual Organize Your Social Network. If you are a current social media activist and haven't yet learned How to Virtual Organize Your Social Network, it's never too late to get started. Better late than never.

Benefits of Knowing How to Virtual Organize Your Social Network

Once you learn how to virtual organize your social network, after you make your clarion call to the world and get their attention, you will be able to send out a clear message to the world about 1) who you are, 2) your real organizational infrastructure, 3) what you want, 4) who represents you and how to effectively communicate with them, and, last but not least, 5) a real execution strategy on how you want to pursue your demands.

So, what are you waiting for? Learn How to Virtual Organize Your Social Network!

Visions of the Future in a Virtual Organization World: Vision of Retail Department Stores and Shopping Malls

The New Virtual Organization World

It's a New Principled World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized

Visions of the Future in a Virtual Organization World:
Vision of Retail Department Stores and Shopping Malls
by Pierre Coupet

Driving to the Mall No Longer a Necessity

I recall a time in Chicago, back during the 60's, when going to the big mall was a social occasion almost akin to going to church, in the sense that you were expected to be well-dressed in casual clothes. Stores had signs stating "No shorts or sandals allowed" and "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."   That seems like a 1000 years ago.   In any case, back then, physically going to the shopping mall or the big retail department stores was a necessity and the decorum that accompanied it had more to do with the novelty and evolution aspect of it than people actually considering it a social event. There was no such thing as the internet as we know it today and, of course, no World Wide Web.   We could not even imagine that such a thing was possible outside of Star Trek.

Fast forwarding to 2011, in spite of the fact that the Web allows us to shop for just about anything that we can think of, including groceries and basic household items, people continue to flock in huge numbers to shopping malls and major freestanding retail department stores.   Why is that? Is it out of habit or has it now become more of a social experience for us; an opportunity to go out and mingle without really mingling, just to have a chance to be around others albeit at a distance and in a non-intimate fashion?   Or is it because some changes take much longer than others? Or is it because technology is not yet able to replicate either the social experience or the buying process reassurance that takes place with the physical purchase in a retail department store or shopping mall?

Retail Department Stores and Malls Exist, Therefore We Frequent

The facts prove that it's a combination of all of the above and here is what I mean by that: Each of the aforementioned questions I just asked could conceivably apply to just about every single transaction that is made today in huge numbers over the internet - from purchasing a computer, electronic items and accessories, furniture, apparel and accessories, jewelry, books, software, vitamins and prescription drugs, all the way to buying a car, banking and getting a home loan.   Therefore, it's obvious that, for a great many of us, we are totally immune to these factors and, with the exception of grocery shopping for perishable items, we are more than happy to do our shopping using the most convenient means available to us.

However, that being said, the most crucial answer is that, for the most part, people continue to flock to these retail department stores and shopping malls primarily because these venues continue to exist and, secondarily, for none other than the social experience.

Time to Come Up with a New Asset Utilization Strategy?

Therefore, the operators of these retail department stores and shopping malls must inevitably come to terms with the following asset utilization strategy question:

At what cost are we providing a service that most people do not really have a need for versus the cost of an alternate service that we could be providing that could significantly increase our bottom line?

A New Vision: Retail Department Stores and Shopping Malls as Entertainment and Social Experience Centers

In that light, here is a snapshot of my vision of Retail Department Stores and Shopping Malls in the new Virtual Organization World:

Vision of Retail Department Stores in a Virtual Organization World

With respect to large retail stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Neiman-Marcus, etc., they will eventually want to convert their stores to major entertainment venues and Social Experience Centers whereby their customers would come for entertainment, to socialize and do some online purchasing on impulse.

Instead of having a ton of clothing racks on the floor, you would have several areas with special tables equipped with built-in, damage-proof PC tablets connected to the internet.    In the center of each area, as at a fashion show, you would have a runway for the store's branded fashion models (e.g., Macy's Models or Saks Fifth Ave Supermodels) to exhibit their latest lines of clothing and accessories during opening hours.

Priceless Publicity Bonanza

Just as each NFL football team has their own cheerleading team, so would each major retail department "store location" have their own team of models (e.g., Macy's Thousand Oaks Models and/or Macy's Thousand Oaks Supermodels) and several local DJs. You could use Macy's Supermodels for major monthly "luxury sale" events, accompanied by all the fanfare that comes with it.   To really get both customers and employees all excited and fired up about this conversion, I can even see the launch of an annual Macy's Models or Macy's Supermodels Fashion Contest whereby all the models from all the various stores would compete for a Macy's Supermodel of the Year contest which could even get televised nationally or streamed worldwide via the internet.    That would be a priceless publicity bonanza!

A Re-Energized and Hybrid-Virtual Workforce

Instead of Retail Associates, you would have a minimum number of Social Experience Hostesses, Social Experience Associates, Social Media Associates, and Virtual Support Associates working onsite at the store location as well as interfacing with a majority number of their virtual equivalents working online in a 100% virtual environment.

Social Experience Hostesses would assist in providing general information regarding the Social Experience Center, seating selection, ordering beverages and snacks, ordering catering service, store appearance, etc.

Social Experience Associates would assist with event ticketing and reservation information, sales, distribution and supervision of limited inventory for fitting purposes only, supervision and maintenance of fitting rooms, merchandise return, customer support, and other miscellaneous matters.

Social Media Associates would be in charge of digital filming and streaming of special modeling events on the internet and maintaining the local onsite and virtual digital media center.

Virtual Support Associates would deal with all internet-related and virtual customer support.

Benefits for Retail Department Stores in a Virtual Organization World

As a result of combining the entertainment and social experience component with a stronger focus on online sales and support, each store would drastically reduce the amount of square footage it occupies (from a one-half to a two-thirds decrease) and related overhead and yet maintain or sharply increase its amount of sales, thereby generating a substantial and noticeable increase in its bottom line.   In a retail world where profit margins are very slim, that can be a "very big" deal.

Reduction in Shortages

Theft and shortages at the local store level would be drastically reduced, if not almost eliminated.   Although fraud can never be eliminated, it can be better monitored and drastically reduced in the virtual environment.

A Highly Flexible Workforce

Most Store Managers and Group Sales Managers could work online in a 100% virtual environment at least 2-3 days out of the week or perhaps alternate between working onsite and online on a weekly basis.   When working online, they can still be available onsite, at a moment's notice, in case of an emergency since all hiring will be done locally. An entire generation and cadre of Social Experience Associates and Virtual Support Associates could potentially be available around the clock working strictly in a 100% virtual environment.

The local store would be almost immune to any sort of major disaster and other acts of God and nature due to the fact that their labor force can operate almost exclusively in a 100% environment.

Lower Stress Level and Higher Quality of Life

High Employee Stress Level, the #1 employee complaint in a retail environment, would drastically decrease and Quality of Life for all employees would dramatically increase. These managers and associates would all receive training on how to operate in a 100% virtual organization environment, thereby resulting in a greater sophistication level of the company's labor force.

Deepening of Local Connections and Relationships

There would a HUGE WIN-WIN OPPORTUNITY to partner with ALL members of the local community (schools, churches, hospitals, other non-profit organizations, local government, etc.)--including local businesses--in order to produce special benefit events at the store location and thereby deepen existing connections and relationships. Local businesses at these malls would provide the needed services and support that these stores would require so that these stores can focus on what they do best, which is retail sales.   And the list of other benefits goes on and on.

Vision of Shopping Malls in a Virtual Organization World

With respect to the large or mega shopping malls, they will begin to rethink the architecture of their malls and begin to convert them, more or less, into mini, family-oriented, entertainment theme parks or a place with a more festive atmosphere.    A place where the entire family can go at anytime during the week or weekend. Whether it is a daily or big weekly Friday night fashion show at Macy's, or a special fashion show benefit event at Neiman-Marcus, or live daily shows and contests a la Let's Make a Deal sponsored by existing mall retail stores, around the clock entertainment will be available during opening hours.

Globalocal Promotion

These events will be promoted online on the shopping mall's website, various tourism websites, and throughout the local community.   So that regardless of who you are, where you are, and where you are from, access to wholesome, family-oriented entertainment AND shopping is only a few blocks or miles away.

Telepresence Centers for Revenue Diversification

Shopping malls will establish telepresence centers that can be promoted and rented out to businesses who would like to hold hybrid-virtual events at their location. For example, let's say that VOMI wants to broadcast a high-definition, live virtual conference to 100 people in Northridge, CA. From our own telepresence location in Encino, CA or any other telepresence or virtual location in the world, VOMI could invite attendees to join us at the telepresence center in the Northridge, CA shopping mall. As well, VOMI could also invite other attendees to join us at several more telepresence centers in conveniently located shopping malls.   From VOMI's vantage point, it would have a bird's eye view of the audience at all participating telepresence locations and be able to effectively communicate and interact with all of them.

Continuing with our Northridge shopping mall example, arrangement could be made with the local mall catering company to serve all our event attendees, followed by a fashion show at Macy's, participation in an a la Let's Make a Deal show sponsored by several stores in the mall, dinner and drinks and live entertainment at a local restaurant, and/or a movie screening before retiring for the night in one of the limited group of bungalow suites in the shopping mall.

Virtual Solarium Courtyards

Shopping malls will also contain large virtual solarium courtyards, a sort of sky-lit, indoor-outdoor space with retractable and adjustable roof that allows for various degrees of openness based on weather conditions. These virtual solarium courtyards will contain large plasma 3-D screens and a large stage for entertainment and advertising related purposes in a beautiful garden-like setting. Adorning the entire landscape will be 360 degree "chairs" and "smart tables", as well as sound-proof, egg-shaped enclosures, with FREE built-in access to wired high-speed and Wi-Fi internet access at speeds of around 100 gigabit per second.   Small, sound-proof conference rooms with internet access will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis for up to 2 hours and subject to an extension if there is no one waiting in line.     The only thing a customer has to do is to bring their own laptop or PC tablet.

Hostesses from all the various food, beverage and entertainment restaurants and stores will be able to know which smart table is occupied and virtually approach you directly from inside their store via text messaging or speaker phone in order to take your "virtual" orders from their PC tablets or smart phone devices. Digital coupons offered by participating store owners will be automatically processed without any sort of awareness, input or intervention by the customer or hostess.

Collaboration and cooperation among all mall businesses will be the norm as well as vital for each other's success and long-term economic health.

Benefits for Shopping Malls in a Virtual Organization World

The end result of this transformation for shopping mall operators will be higher customer traffic and collective store sales which translates into higher common area and per store revenues as well as new sources of revenue.

Conclusion

In conclusion, in terms of what is now possible with respect to today's existing internet and virtual technologies, I believe that this snapshot of my vision of the future for retail department stores and shopping malls is but a small grain of sand on a large beach of what is possible in the near to distant future.   The retail stores and shopping malls who are the quickest to begin to implement my vision of their future will no doubt have a significant advantage over their nearest competitors in this vast and almost limitless market.
