DanielWRasmus @SusanMacCall Yes, but even with right tools, management may not be ready to manage that way #collabchat -12:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013

SusanMacCall @DanielWRasmus Work is a bit more chaotic, but i'm also more informed & better connected. this outweighs any downside#collabchat -12:49 PM Apr 30th, 2013
gailbatac @DanielWRasmus The opposite, bc I get more done being connected 24/7. Projects are more in control. #collabchat -12:48 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Michaels425 @DanielWRasmus #collabchat Unfortunately yes. Setting boundaries is much harder when you are always connected. -12:48 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mikefratesi @DanielWRasmus I speak more with my brother who now works on a diving boat Indonesia than when he lived in Chicago#collabchat -12:46 PM Apr 30th, 2013

DanielWRasmus @mikefratesi #collabchat I'm thinking abt the positive side - that we feel more connected to people remotely because we r more aware of them -12:43 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rstone57 @CiscoCollab #BYOD is a necessary shift. The users dictate#collabchat -12:43 PM Apr 30th, 2013

mikefratesi @DanielWRasmus it changes social behavior at work and outside of work, but we're adults and should moderate our connectedness #collabchat -12:42 PM Apr 30th, 2013
brmiao #collabchat Follow-up question for all the chat participants: what devices are you using to collaborate and connect? -12:41 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus @pgandecha The real question, though, is: does it change the way you think about work, people, relationships?#collabchat -12:40 PM Apr 30th, 2013
pgandecha When I travel I use my iPhone to respond to customer emails. join WebEx meetings or stay connected with my team on Jabber IM #collabchat -12:39 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mikefratesi @DanielWRasmus Love it, wonder if you can do that with Google Now #collabchat -12:39 PM Apr 30th, 2013
renachhit @DanielWRasmus Definitely only voice meetings with both my hands on the wheel! 
#collabchat -12:39 PM Apr 30th, 2013

DanielWRasmus Do ur devices add anything new to the work experience? The sensors, the gestures, second-screen experiences?#collabchat -12:35 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MN_GoBeavers RT @gailbatac: @DanielWRasmus Cisco's culture is very open to this, employees stay highly productive, working from anywhere #collabchat -12:34 PM Apr 30th, 2013

gailbatac @DanielWRasmus Cisco's culture is very open to this, employees stay highly productive, working from anywhere #collabchat-12:33 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mikefratesi #WebEx on iPad lets me join meetings, see/share video, see/share documents, this has changed my behavior, no need to be at desk #collabchat -12:33 PM Apr 30th, 2013
renachhit BYOD enables flexibility i.e. I can be driving and still take meetings. Allows me to work from anywhere, increases productivity#collabchat -12:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MN_GoBeavers RT @pgandecha: Cisco IT SVP says real benefits of BYOD are fostering collaboration and building moralehttp://t.co/S3dtzgi4qH #collabchat -12:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus @Servion @CiscoCollab Positive shift: Long-run all positive. Transitions can b hard. Personal control of knowledge tools is key. #collabchat -12:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Michaels425 @DanielWRasmus #collabchat Anywhere. Have done everything from analyst meetings from coffee shops to team meetings on planes. #BYOD -12:31 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus @pgandecha Do you have a personal example of improved collaboration #collabchat -12:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mikefratesi #BYOD has increased the expectation that users will be able to meet and fully participate without lots of pre-planning#collabchat -12:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
brmiao Most definitely! The immediacy of having #BYOD has transformed my expectations on what I can get done on any given day#collabchat -12:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Servion RT @CiscoCollab: Do you think BYOD is a positive shift? Why?#collabchat -12:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus Do you feel like you hv "permission" to work anywhere, or just a policy that says u can? #collabchat -12:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
pgandecha Cisco IT SVP says real benefits of BYOD are fostering collaboration and building morale http://t.co/S3dtzgi4qH #collabchat-12:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
renachhit Users want access to corp apps, companies want to secure this data. Users don't want their personal data going thru corp network #collabchat -12:28 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mikefratesi Agree that anytime, anywhere environments require more focus on outcomes and emphasis on richer virtual interactions e.g. video #collabchat -12:27 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus Has #BYOD changed the way u meet w/ people: different places, different times, different agendas-focus, process, prep, etc? #collabchat -12:27 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Michaels425 @DanielWRasmus #collabchat We have Cisco IT policies around network and application access from mobile devices. We do not for data on device -12:26 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus RT @Kmantini: @DanielWRasmus absolutely! I've thought about putting a coffee pot in my office! Currently tweeting from kitchen, #collabchat -12:24 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus How do you think about company data on your personal device? #collabchat -12:23 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus @brmiao I think there is much beyond productivity. We need to recognize the serendipty of collaboration too. #collabchat-12:23 PM Apr 30th, 2013
renachhit BYOD in the workplace is a natural evolution.These mobile devices are enabling more use cases and productivity than ever before.#collabchat -12:22 PM Apr 30th, 2013
maedens @CiscoCollab #collabchat Because employees will treat their own personal devices with greater care than the ones they've been handed -12:22 PM Apr 30th, 2013
brmiao #collabchat Are you referring to employee performance expectations with greater productivity afforded by #BYOD ? -12:22 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus If u can't see people working, you have to focus more on outcomes than presence. Different way of perceiving work.#collabchat -12:21 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Michaels425 @DanielWRasmus #collabchat I don't think you can apply industrial age definition of "work" either. Work is what I do, not where I go. -12:21 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DanielWRasmus Does performance measurement change in a #BYODworld? (I think it does)... #collabchat -12:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mikefratesi Top perceived benefits of BYOD: Productivity (more opportunities to collaborate); Job satisfaction, flexibility; Lower costs#collabchat -12:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
CiscoCollab RT @DanielWRasmus: We cant apply industrial age designs to knowlege work - people need control over the tools they use. #collabchat -12:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
