Abstract

This chapter considers the resources granted by new communicative technologies (e.g. social networks) as an opportunity to manage people, exploiting the affordances granted by cognitive intelligence. The authors argue that, if properly adopted, cognitive intelligence could support the function of HRM to rethink its practices and to make them more attuned with the contemporary needs of people and organizations, thus allowing the transition to the Enterprise social media. The People Perfomance Plan, as a platform devoted to organizational management, is presented as an example of the possible connections between traditional and new technology-driven people management tools.
