Emerging technologies & Us

Article by Uday Patel

Technology changes human society every time it emerges along as a new facet. The technical benefits of most of the emerging technologies are immense but its impact on humans may not necessarily be so.

Along with Internet the development and commercial introduction of cellular phone has had a major impact on human society. The impact has been both positive and negative. There has been a phenomenal impact of the way we communicate and converse. This has been brought about by constant application development and online utilities.

In very simple form both the technologies have performed basic but very useful tasks. But technologies are always evolving in nature. With constant application development and advanced programming new features have been introduced. The new features have made the usage multidimensional.

Taking into account the unique evolving features much more development is expected. This is expected to have a greater impact on human society in the way we converse and communicate. The impact is quiet visible as far as business is concerned and the society too.

Internet has a phenomenal reach and speed. The online utilities have made networking for business and social integration far and wide in niche circles possible. Internet fax and email are fine example of business gain.

Online fax communications and email messaging have reduced costs as well as increased speed. The crux has been elimination of facsimile machine, dedicated telephone line costs, and the dependency on snail mail.

The addiction and wrong use of technology has a negative impact on us. But thankfully in case of Internet and mobile phones the benefits out way the negative impact.

The developments have changed our lifestyle and the way we communicate, promote and advertise for business. All three activities with cost benefits and phenomenal reach in our favor.

The apps development and programming has played a major role. The dimensional change has made the products like mobile phones and online utilities very popular.

The WWW and mobile phones have become an extension of our lives. For many people life is unimaginable without these two. Uneconomical and irrational use leads to of loss of valuable time, money and effort.

Technology Intervention in Organization Development

 Technology intervention in Organization Development

The Internet, email, and Web conferencing tools have created the capacity for collaborating across time and space both within and between organizations. Just as technology has transformed the organizational environment, it’s also transforming the field of Organization Development (OD).

Currently, there are three widely recognized applications of technology in OD:

1. Quantitative, database assessment tools, such as employee surveys and 360-degree feedback

2.Communications and teamwork, including document management and information sharing

3. Management and employee development, including online training.

 OD practitioners increasingly use technology in their work every day. But, whereas most technologies applied to OD are used for one-way communication, data collection, or individual mentoring or training, we need new generation of interventions that use technology to facilitate “whole system” collaboration and organizational change.

Evolution of new Technologies

Currently, technologies are available that extend beyond normal correspondence and simple data collection to facilitate online collaboration, community building, collaborative learning, and the sharing of best practices on a global scale. New uses for such emerging technologies by OD practitioners hold the promise of becoming an integral part of the dynamic organizational change process itself.

 The evolution of collaborative technologies such as portals, online discussion groups, real-time chat and webcasts (transmission of linear audio or video content over the Internet) have provided valuable capabilities that promote the organization development mission of whole system collaboration.

Portal technology offers a wide variety of tools for the OD professionals to promote increased organizational effectiveness, enable open communication and knowledge sharing and deliver multi-dimensional organizational change efforts. Properly implemented portals knit together disparate business applications and, in effect, present a composite application tailored to the role of the user in the organization. By presenting business tools, data and content to users via an easy-to-use, personalized interface, portals support the primary OD goals of increased organizational effectiveness and performance. Used in combination with content management systems, portals also become valuable communication and knowledge-sharing vehicles by presenting online content filtered by the language, geography or role of the user. Best practices, compliance information and strategic content can be pushed simultaneously to geographically diverse internal and external (customers, partners, suppliers) audiences. The top portal vendors also integrate search capability into their products, allowing users to search for the content that meets their needs. Prior to the advent of portal technologies, organizations were restricted to a “one size fits all” approach to pushing applications and content to employees. Portals allow the creation of a user experience that is tailored to the employee’s demographics.

Online discussion groups, weblogs offer users the ability to post questions, comments and general information at a central online location. These types of forums are particularly well suited for the ongoing, system-wide communication required during large organizational change efforts. Typically, these discussion forums are created to focus on topics related to specific training programs, practice areas or operational best practices. The questions or comments posted can be directed toward specific experts, facilitators or to the general group membership, creating an open, collaborative process.These online discussions can take place over a period of weeks rather than minutes. The content of the discussions can be made searchable and becomes part of the organization’s knowledge base for future reference. When delivered through portal technology, links to specific discussion forums can be made available to individuals based on their demographics.

Instant messaging and online chats offer organizations a much more immediate form of real-time collaboration than asynchronous online discussion groups. Most enterprise instant messaging applications now allow users to form real-time instant group chats by pulling multiple users into an online discussion as needed. Users can also share content (documents, slides, graphics) during their chats to facilitate understanding. Instant messaging technology is particularly useful when immediate information exchange is required (customer service, call center, etc.) by a small number of users.

For larger audiences, scheduled online chats are effective vehicles for mass interactive communication. Executives and subject-matter experts can communicate to mass audiences and answer questions on the fly regardless of geography through scheduled chat sessions. Participation in the chats is usually voluntary and users also have the ability to join the chats anonymously, which promotes open, informal and candid discussion. Online chat sessions are increasingly being used in OD efforts that involve large-scale organizational change and require frequent mass communication. The contents of both instant message sessions and scheduled online chats can be saved and made searchable for future reference. Prior to these chat technologies, interactive conversations would require conference calls, real-time office visits and herding masses of people into meeting rooms for live face-to-face dialogue. Although the online collaborative applications have not replaced more traditional live meetings, they have presented viable alternatives that augment the efforts of OD professionals and lead to increased organizational effectiveness.

Webcasts and Podcasts are examples of Online audio/video technologies becoming mainstream tools OD professionals use to disseminate information quickly and efficiently. Live training or informational events are often shared organization-wide via webcasts and recorded for later use. Audio or video combined with many of the newer e-learning authoring tools allows other content (slides, text, graphics) to be displayed along with the video or audio for a media-rich user experience. The newest of the online audio/video technologies are podcasts, which combine the standard recorded webcast with “publish/subscribe” functionality. Publish/subscribe functionality allows the user to subscribe to specific subject areas and have the content automatically pushed to their computer or MP3 player whenever new content is available. The user can then view or listen to the content whenever his or her schedule allows. Although podcasts are not yet widely used in organizational communication, their popularity in the public domain is a glimpse of the potential of this evolving medium. Previous to the use of the online audio/video technologies, organizations would distribute videotaped content via mail to all their far-flung locations. Employees would view the video individually or congregate in meeting rooms to watch the video presentations.

Benefits

OD approaches that embrace technology as an integrated component of the strategic change process itself can

 enable whole system participation.

With hurdles like travel costs and time zone issues greatly lessened through technology, bringing the whole organizational system into the room–employees, partners, customers, and so forth is made possible. Ideas, opinions and issues from all stakeholder groups can be shared and considered in a collective forum virtually and in connection with face-to-face meetings.

rapidly align dispersed stakeholders.

Creating alignment between stakeholders who are located across the country or the globe can take months or years. By blending face-to-face participation with an inclusive virtual participation process, stakeholders can be brought together in productive ways that decrease the time it takes to reach an agreement.

accelerate organizational readiness.

Inviting the whole system to participate in the change process enhances communication, fosters buy-in and establishes a level of readiness for change that traditional communications plans cannot easily achieve.

produce higher quality strategies and plans.

Through obtaining direct input from both a horizontal and vertical slice of the organization, as well as partners, customers, and other stakeholder groups, more robust ideas and work products can be produced.

foster collaborative learning and knowledge sharing.

By linking together stakeholders that would not otherwise connect and communicate, it becomes possible to harness learning and knowledge in ways that surface and diffuse best practices, which leads to a greater capacity for innovation and organizational agility.

 Getting started 

Integrating technology into OD interventions can open the door to new opportunities for engaging teams, workgroups, organizations, partners, and customers in collaborative change processes. But where do you start? Here are some tips that may help. 

Assess the need.

Determine if the needed intervention would be advanced through engaging stakeholders that cannot be in the room.

Determine readiness.

To be successful, an organization must embrace the potential value of using technology to support the process. Determine the readiness of the client system to explore new ways of working.

Gauge the fit.

Select technologies that fit the desired intervention. Know when you’re looking for divergent vs. convergent thinking, qualitative vs. quantitative input, individual vs. group contributions, and so on, and choose the tools that support the lifecycle stage of the process.

Make the business case.

While there are costs associated with applying technology, using technology can also reduce travel costs, save time, and accelerate the change process. Defining the ROI (return-on-investment) of using technology helps garner support for new approaches.

Define integration points.

OD interventions that involve technology also typically include face-to-face meetings. Look for ways to use technology prior to, during, and after meetings to support group and organizational goals.

Engage the early adopters.

Identify individuals who are predisposed to embrace technology as part of the process in order to create early wins that create proof points for the new approach.

Tell success stories.

Even small successes can be used as stories to energize the organization and inspire others to participate through the new tools and approaches.

Technology in OD is here to stay. More and more, OD interventions will include collaborative technology as a core enabler of the change process. As OD practitioners apply these tools to their work, especially when they enable whole system change, new expectations within organizations are established. Once people experience the possibilities associated with incorporating the voices of a larger collective in ways that increase participation, accelerate change, and deliver higher quality results, the value of these collaborative technologies are established and the organization’s desired future draws nearer.

People Are Still Looking For Accounting Careers

Accounting careers still thrive despite advancements in technology. Every business requires an accountant who is knowledgeable in the fair presentation of financial statements as well as compliance with different regulatory bodies. The careers of accounting graduates are almost diversified due to different fields of specialization; namely, financial, management, taxation, information systems, environmental, not-for profit, international, budgetary and education. Careers in accounting can be focused on private, public, government or even non-profit organizations

Accounting graduates who wish to pursue higher positions in the corporate world can take the government licensure examination in order to become a Certified Public Accountant or CPA. Normally, a CPA occupies the highest position in a business enterprise particularly in the Finance and Budget Departments. In addition, CPAs take up a Masteral Degree to enhance their expertise and knowledge.

When choosing careers in private accounting, most private firms usually hire accountants who can handle the accounting information systems, general accounting, cost accounting, budgeting, tax accounting and internal auditing. Overall, this is headed by the Controller or the Chief Accounting Officer who manages and controls the entire accounting operations. The controller is primarily concerned over the precise reporting of information and the manner by which it will be reported. On the other hand, the company’s Internal Auditor will head a team of auditors and will maintain independence from all other departments, reporting directly to the Chairman and the Board of Trustees.

Similarly, careers in public accounting include auditing, taxation and management consulting. Normally, public accounting involves the services of a Certified Public Accountant who passed the licensure examination given by the government. As freelancers or private practitioners, CPAs usually charge their client on a fee basis.

Accounting careers of CPAs are focused on financial accounting where they apply their expertise in developing and communicating financial information to interested users of a company’s financial statements. In like manner, even non-profit organizations require accountants due to the different nature of accounting methods applicable to charitable institution’s help-granting purposes.

Moreover, accounting careers can include government accounting wherein the government will hire you to perform accounting and budgeting functions. Similar to a private company, government offices will also require auditors to provide the check and balances in all aspects.

In pursuing accounting careers, the student must have a high aptitude in math. The accounting course involves mostly valuations, computations and analysis of numbers as the main areas of learning leading to a bachelor’s degree in accounting. Usually, there are U.S. states that require one hundred fifty semester units to earn an accounting degree.   

Due to the current technological advancements, knowledge in operating different accounting software has become an important requirement in an accounting career. The accounting software minimizes the tedious process of manually posting the details of transactions in physical books of accounts. A good accountant is one who is up to date with current changes be it a government regulatory requirements or something to do with technology.

The business itself can gain a reputation in the field of being known as specializing in the particular product and becoming experts in knowledge, practice and construction.

Automation: replacing human perception and judge with machines, which are also computer controlled. This almost eradicates humans from the workplace limiting job positions. There is high initial start up costs, high costs for maintenance but allows for constant work as machines don’t require breaks or leave which allows for consistency in production. Machines replace all human work productivity and does all processing etc.

Emerging Technologies: There are continual advances occurring within the multimedia industry. This emergence of new technologies gives an industry/business greater choice, improved quality and efficiency. Emerging technologies are advances within an area which allows for further improvement and knowledge and a new development for both the business and the worker.

Re-training and multi skilling are two very important skills and practices for an employee. Multi skilled employees are said to be able to perform several tasks throughout their working environment, with appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to work it. The allow for a more flexible and widely covered working environment, Being multi skilled means the employee is capable to work in several areas which helps when an employee is absent and they can fill in or to help other employees when in trouble or learning about the equipment or area. Employees who are multi skilled are entitled to a higher wage which is a result of their varied and often substantial work load which would require knowledge in all areas, which is a result of extensive training.

Retraining is when workers are taken to be re-trained in an area, it can be a new area or an already known one but requires re-training because of technological advances within the industry. Re-training can be done at work by an inside or outside person or they can be done at places such as TAFE and business that train employees on new technologies and introduced developments. Re-training may sometimes be costly issues as the employee is absent from work for a period of time and the training costs the business money for the employee to attend or to bring someone in. Re-training also opens the employee to become multiskilled, to further develop their knowledge on their business or productions.

Multiskilled employees are of more value as they add flexibility and easy management to the business and are competent in all areas without needing instruction or are unaware of what to do. They are more employable as they have been educated in a variety of areas therefore can adapt to a workplace quicker and it takes less time to train them in a new workplace if working with familiar equipment

Occupation Health and Safety ins in place to provide a safe working environment for employees free from danger to their health as well as their well-being. The government has established such acts as the OH&S Act 2002 to provide safe working conditions.

OH&S guarantees safety through such things as signage, practices and aid. Signage is used throughout the workplace and is a visual representation of workplace practices to make certain procedures and carried out safely. The signs are internationally recognized so all people understand them. Some examples of signage are showing employees the correct way to handle or pick up objects, to maintain cleanliness, to wear appropriate safety gear etc. They allow for constant informant and a reminder to employees in all aspects of the business and practices to ensure safety is persistently carried out, if appropriate signage is not available then the business is liable to fines.

OH&S is available for training so that employees and appropriately trained in all required areas so that only capable employees are working. Training is held by government so that OH&S standards are met.

Such training for employees also includes some employees to be trained and qualified in first aid so that one or two people who are qualified are always on site to treat any injuries that may occur. This is a necessity so if injury does occur proper treatment can be provided immediately which maintains the workers safety and that there is no delay when aid is required. Fines also apply if such requirements are not met as it not only means employees are at risk but so to are other people who may enter the building.

Training courses are also provided for all employees to refresh them on proper procedures in the case of an emergency as well as to keep human errors to a minimum if all employees are aware and constantly informed of proper safety procedures instilled by the OH&S Act 2002.

Atlanta Job Guide: The Best Careers In Georgia’s Top City

Even with the economic downturn, Atlanta is one of the most economically stable cities in the South.  This is in part due to the variety of industries in the city.  For example, tourism is a major part of Atlanta’s economy, but by no means all of it.  In addition, major companies such as Coca-Cola make their headquarters in Atlanta.  Along with its thriving job market, Atlanta’s population is growing.  If you are looking for a career in Atlanta, there are four fields that are the most promising.

Healthcare.  There are many healthcare careers in the Atlanta area that are promising.  Most of them require far less schooling than an MD, although they tend to earn less as well.  Medical assistants and dental assistants are in need in the Atlanta area.  These professionals have many duties that help the providers with whom they work.  In addition, physician assistants – professionals who function much like nurse practitioners – are in high demand in the area, leading to stable careers.
Home Healthcare.  Although technically falling in the category of healthcare, home healthcare can be seen as its own field.  The career of home health aide is one that is particularly promising.  A home health aide works with a patient – often elderly, ill, or injured – who needs help with the basic tasks of everyday life.  He or she may help the patient bathe, eat, dress, or perform other necessary tasks. 
Information Technology.  The field of information technology becomes more essential by the day.  Almost all businesses perform their transactions by computer, so it is vital for these computers to be functional at all time.  There are many careers available within the information technology field, including technicians, database administrators, and more.  These professionals can work as freelancers, work for IT firms that contract with different clients, or can work in an IT department within a large firm or business. 
Hospitality.  Atlanta is a hot spot for conventions and tourists, and as such, the hospitality field is a provider of many jobs.  People looking to make their career in hospitality have a number of different options.  They may start in entry-level jobs such as housekeeping, receptionists, or bellhops, and work their way up.  Other careers within the hospitality industry include managers – who usually need a bit of experience before being hired – and events coordinators.  These careers are thought to become more abundant as the economy begins to improve and more people attend conventions. 

Atlanta is fairly consistently ranked in the top 25 US Cities for both living and working.  This combination ensures that Atlanta should be a promising location for families and professionals alike for quite some time.  As the economy is slowly improving, careers in Atlanta should become even more abundant.
