a new employee,
邀请她的团队成员一起开会时,
went to go meet with her team members,
were ignored or dismissed,
或被赶出会议室。
after a few minutes.
went quietly back to her desk,
being put to use,
millions of dollars.
who can't seem to catch a break
make the well-meaning decisions
fail to live up to the expectation.
that are never used.
just being wasted each year.
is high but not unreasonable
genuinely better at their jobs.
the people on the front line,
these softwares and tools,
at the number of tools
how to log into and use.
that guilt -- it's racking up,
我们的日常工作中,
itself into our daily working lives,
of jobs today in the US
目前美国70%的工作岗位
to work with technology.
这个问题的正确心态。
with the right mindset.
that I've been toying with:
like a team member?
一样对待技术呢?
personal experiment about this.
from all different industries
their core technologies like colleagues.
同事那样对待技术。
from the restaurant industry,
that I would meet with
the structure of their teams
when it comes to organization charts.
because, if they are drawn well,
of what individual roles are
that represent people.
team members are there.
that I met with for my experiment,
以同事的身份得以呈现,
their technologies as coworkers,
to the right person?"
work well together?"
actually the team member
of a small catering company
小型餐饮公司把这实验
who work at Bovingdons Catering Company.
负责管理所有的客户互动,
all of the customer interactions,
负责管理所有的内部活动。
who manages all the internal activities.
to the sales and operations directors.
the software and the hardware
we can now explore
我们现在可以探索
and the technology team members
that I'm going to look for
and machine relationship
to do his or her job.
the accounting platform would be one.
of their collaboration.
a tenuous relationship.
were actually a person,
responsible for managing it
about a team-building activity,
on a specialist course.
scheduling regular performance reviews
对售卖该软件的公司
would literally give feedback
really important human and machine teams
it's worth taking the time
这些关系更加和谐是值得的。
those relationships truly collaborative.
for any human role
or more types of applications.
应用软件打交道。
was interacting with five technologies.
要跟5个技术打交道。
overwhelmed by his job,
因为他所监管的技术。
of the technologies he was overseeing.
had a lot of people reporting to him,
something about it,
to report to somebody else.
moving some of the technologies
is any technology
without a real home.
without an owner.
to so many different areas
who's actually using it.
the marketing software.
and then didn't give it a desk
却没有给它安排工位,
因为某种原因被边缘化,
has been sidelined for a reason,
to leave or be retired.
所有公司都会做的事情。
is something that all companies do.
应用软件当作同事的心态
applications are actually coworkers
to retire those applications
其他成员破坏性最小的方式
停用这些应用程序。
to the rest of the team.
with 15 different professionals,
专业人员做了这个实验,
I was telling you about,
一个真实的故事,
told to me by Christopher,
公司的人力资源经理。
at a big consumer goods company.
for 14 months at great expense,
令人惊叹的资质的优秀员工,
employee with amazing credentials,
to get to know it,
他们的人力资源系统。
but to get to know their HR system.
menu item by menu item.
查找他们不清楚的地方。
for things that they weren't clear about.
对新安装的软件说三道四。
gossiped about the new software in town.
Christopher called to tell me
the system in new ways,
为他们节省几周时间的努力。
weeks of effort in the future.
less intimidated by the software.
这个软件有什么可怕的了。
helped Christopher's team
these past few months
about working with technology.
this is backed up by research.
who work in organizations
and learn about the technologies
所用技术的公司里
that when I started to do this experiment,
between a person
about how to manage tech
对待自己的工作并扩展它的时候,
for my own job and extended it,
our data analysis tools
of a job rotation program,
could get to know it.
to our recruiting team
we work with every day
on our big recruiting events.
only get to know the people
that we work with day to day invisible,
billions of dollars in value,
an org chart geek like me
of minutes for most people
of who they work with,
to add in the technologies
asking questions like,
that I'll be taking out for coffee?"
in the 21st-century workplace
with the technologies
庞大且昂贵的部分。
part of our daily working lives.
我们仍在艰难应对这个问题。
we are struggling to cope with that.
是有价值的同事的想法,
machines are actually valuable colleagues,
and the softwares and the algorithms
