Acme case study -Wikis
May 10 2007, 11:11 AM EDT
One thing I was thinking about: In an effort to start collaborating right away, what about going to the employees to explain that Acme values the "wisdom of crowds" and wants to capture the intelligence of the employees as a group in order to build a stronger employee community, enhance the corporate culture, and ultimately benefit the employess because they could learn from each other via a different way other than email/vmail etc. Depending on the general skillset of the employees, wiki may need to be described (benefits/drawbacks) and demo'd. Then ask them to provide ideas for the "policy." How could a wiki be used? Who could manage it? Who would "control" it? Would employees like you use this? How could we, Acme leadership, capture and learn from the group in a way that was legally compliant and non-inflammatory? What features would the group want to see? What are their expectations with something like a wiki?

Then the Acme leadership "board" (COO, CEO, CFO) could review the ideas/submissions and implement what they felt was appropriate, thus making the skeptic leaders still feel they have a sense of control for the implementation and use. The expectations would have to be set with the employees that not ALL policy ideas would be applied but I think that the employee base would have more of an emotional positive reaction to just being asked directly about what they would like to see/want/use.
