Background
Research Purpose
The aim of this research is to develop a methodology for
video-empowered organizational reengineering.
Background
Today’s enterprises have to address a two-sided challenge: a)rapid
changes of business environments, and b) engagement of remote
workforces.
Modern communication infrastructures have its potentials to leverage
such emerging business contexts.
This challenge is an unexplored research field of interdisciplinary
challenges of organizational development and supporting technologies.

Problems
Item Description
Data-centric-ness It is data-centric, not human-centric
Static worldview The concept of data analytics of the past behavior and
data depends on a static worldview which is not appli-
cable to dynamics or sudden changes of the business
world.
Inconsistent mea-
surement
Data analytics needs unbiased and consistent measure-
ment. In many environments, this is a difficult assertion
to prove.
Human bias There is an increased bias for young generations to
avoid confrontation with humans. This leads to an easy
escape to data in absence of human interaction.
Control paradigm Machine control paradigm cannot lead to well-beings
of workforces.
Isolation Data aalytics and human engagement are isolated.

Problems in organizations to be addressed
Item Description
Goal-orientedness Too much goal-orientedness creates tension and con-
flicts and deprives the engagement in the community-
based communication
Dynamic landscape
changes
Speed of market changes increases uncertainty, stress
and lack sense of safety in workspaces.
Remote scattered
workforces
Diverse work styles including remote and scattered
workforce challenges integrity and engagement of hu-
man resources. It is difficult to enable continuous feed-
back and recognition.

Three Factors to Consider
Factor Consideration
Business Opera-
tion
How can we embed engagement and empowerment
in the data gathering?
Technology
Infrastructure
How can we leverage interactive people analytics?
How can we implement good UI/UX in a remote
work context? YouTube and Google Photo are not
optimal to 1-to-1 interaction.
Techno-social
Culture
How can we guide adoption of interactive people an-
alytics in a techno-social culture context? How can
we adopt video recording in a workplace context?
We started an experimental video daily reports in April 2017

Findings
Item Description
Awareness and at-
tention control
When a daily report is routine, it increases awareness
and attention control on the deliverables of the day.
Self-management Daily report increases self-management
Fluency The reporter himself recognizes the work situation.
This leads to fillers, chokes and other irregularity in
reports. It can be a decent indicator of the working
environment.
Embodiment Actual embodiment of voice uttering increases routine
behavior reinforcement.
Analytics source Non-verbal information aggregates is a rich source of
future analysis.

Interactive People Analytics
Interactive People Analytics is an attempt to integrate people analytics with
empowering interaction with people.
It is based on a positive workplace view which values engagement and
recognition. In the past, complaints, conflicts and contradiction lead to deny
listening organizations. Today, low-level workload is replaced by computers,
robots, RPA (robotic process automation) and so on. Remaining workforces
need attention and recognition.
It is a paradigm shift from neutrality of people analytics to active
involvement in organizational development process.
It tries to go beyond methodology. It goes with the envisioning paradigm
how organizational development should serve members. The analytics is used
to measure how both of organization and people become happier.
The rich media source of video interaction provides a base for in-depth
analysis of engagement and empowerment. However, it is just a by-product.
The proposed method aims at building positive feedback cycle of a) business
management, b) organizational culture, and c) human engagement.

Conceptual advantages of the proposed approach
Item Description
Addressing chal-
lenges of unbiased
and consistent
measurement
It acknowledge the challenges and reverse the weak
point as it changes unbiased requirement to biased and
intendend interaction for positive organizational devel-
opment.
Human-centric
approach
In order to utilize the large communication bandwidth
available in modern enterprises, it proposed rich-media
routine interaction to leverage engagement and sense
of safety.
Aggregation of rich
media data source
Using simple daily routine, it shows that it is promis-
ing to accumulate rich media data for future people
analytics.

ideas for an organization.
Self-management In diverse workplaces, it is important to leverage self-
management. Routine self-analysis in one’s one voice
empowers self-management.

front-end informa-
tion
Primary information from the remote front-end work-
places ensures organizational information gathering ca-
pabilities.

Advantages of the Proposed Approach
The proposed framework can leverage the paradigm shift from organization
to order to organization to listen. Listening organizations are strong in
dynamic business scenes such as early stages of business development. In
that phase, it is difficult to articulate goals, achievement, any quantitative
cost-profit analysis. Still, it is a critical phase for many organization in a
dynamic and changing marketing landscape.
It is also intended to utilize unexplored resource of video in an enterprise
context. Selfie culture has been widespread for last 5 years. However, many
organizational are reluctant to catch up this modern trend for an enterprise
benefit.
The three-fold relation among business development, cyber organizational
culture and technical infrastructure including interactive people analysis is
promising to provide opportunities for next generation organizations.
An experiment shows video recording in an active workspace is embarrassing.
It indicates importance to secure a workplace environment to enable
comfortable recording.

Limitations
This research is descriptive and qualitative. There is no argument on
quantitative measurement of methodologies. The proposed method is a
skeleton, so it lacks detailed procedures and underlying assumptions.
Details how organizational culture is developed for acceptance of the
proposed method are not covered in this paper. The detailed case studies or
quantitative analysis of case studies are not presented in this paper.
Detailed analysis of data obtained in interactive people analytics is not
presented. The paper does not describe the interaction aspect in details.
Long-term studies of the proposed method are not yet performed.
The paper lacks detailed discussions about real improvement of engagement.
It remains future research.
It is important to provide high usability of video recording and video
retrieval. These UI and UX issues are not covered in this paper.

Conclusion
Data analytics is penetrating into everyday and business scenes. This trend
seems irreversible. The increase accumulation of data strengthen analytics
with positive feedback. People analytics is one of promising areas in
enterprises to improve efficiency and applicability of business management.
The author proposes to put people analytics as a piece of dynamic
organizational management. The measurement can change behavior, so the
proposed method, called interactive people analytics, embed measurement a
part of tool to leverage engagement and sense of safety of members.
This paper just describes the challenges and the proposed concept. It also
describes initial test case and its implication. The author describes how we
can transfer remote and scattered workforce to working communities of
people with trust and engagement.
