Video improves the effectiveness of “tacit interactions”

Companies are finding that video is a great way to improve the effectiveness of “tacit interactions.” Tacit interactions are those complex dialogues necessary in today’s fast-changing, socially driven marketplace to move audiences – whether it’s educating on a new topic or product, changing the organization culture, or meeting new company performance and financial goals.

• Companies improve their productivity by improving the efficiency of transformational activities (mining, assembly) and/or transactions (accounts payable).
• But productivity of marketing managers, lawyers, etc., cannot be raised by standardizing their work or replacing them with machines. Instead, companies must boost workers’ productivity by making them more effective.
• Organizations that embrace tacit communications will perform far better than their peers.
  

Employee Generated Content (EGC)

With daily advances in digital technology, anyone with a computer and a digital camera can create video content, which, once on the web, can potentially be viewed by hundreds or thousands of co-workers.

• Do you have rampant “video producers” throughout your organization who publish video on various company web properties that may or may not follow standard corporate guidelines for content and security?
• Do you have other employees who may have valuable video content to contribute but don’t because they don’t know how?
