Online shared intelligence

Call me 1.0, but…

A friend asked the question as she started the process of exploring her requirements for collaboration products, which she will use to support a social networking initiative she is about to get going.

Like many other practitioners before her, Lisa found that when it comes to enterprise collaboration, there is a huge difference between wanting to solve a problem and knowing what specific product features are relevant to your needs. In other words, if you want, say, “to empower collaboration in order to create alignment between highly distributed teams in order to improve the product cycle”, how does MySite functionality help you? If you want “to increase intimacy between partners and internal stakeholders”, is that something a blog, a wiki or a forum will produce? How relevant is a forms server to collaboration?

Sorry, I got targeted for spam by some moron, and in the process of deleting the 200 or so junk comments y deleted all previous VALID comments. At some point I’ll recover them from backup, but I am very busy right now.

My apologies
