Applied Collaboration – Participation as KPI

Collaboration – in terms of knowledgemanagement, discussions, sharing or cooperating – strongly depends on participation. That’s a no-brainer.

But why not integrate employee’s participation in the kpis that are part for their bonuses?Andrew MacAfee raised some questions in his blog.

Actually we thought of connecting our future prediction markte to senior managers’ bonuses: They have to make their decisions on what they want to bet on, and the employees’ market will tell them within three months if they were right.

We did not receive very clear answers to that but the other model found definitely more supporters. In that other model, employees trade on the market and senior managers decide afterwards, if they were right and if this idea will be pursued any further.

But still: scientists’ currency are publications, writers and artists have to make themselves heard – so why not rate knowledge workers who claim to be innovative and creative by their collaborative and social output beyond their dedicated projects?

Only thinking about this could help speed up a lot of things.

Applied Collaboration: Respect

Yesterday I joined an event of the Digitalks-series in Vienna covering online collaboration. Two youngsters from small new media/consulting companies presented their view on collaboration and the tools they used in their companies.

Applied Collaboration- fixing errors

Another benefit of collaborative work: It allows to fix errors without having to make a drama out of it.

You can fix your own errors, because your publications are always open for editing and it will be nothing unusual that there is a new version out from time to time.

Intranet managers and social media – 1950’s farmers and tractors

Intranet managers who have to consider using social media and 2.0 features are in a similar situation as farmers who were considering whether to buy a tractor or not in the 1950’s.

Why should you? Is there anything you can not do without it? Is there any real advantage in having one?

ECM Summit Day 2: Communication Controlling and Knowledge Management

Today I could listen to another four presentations.

In the morning, the topic was communication controlling: How do you know that your communication activities really achieve their goals, that you reach your audience – and how can you transform that into ideas for and ROI argumentation?

I could listen to four case studies on two topics today.

Xonio.com presented it’s social media activities. Xonio is a B2C-portal focusing on mobilephones other mobile hardware stuff, mostly publishing testing reports.

Actually, they summarize almost everything in the social media topic: comments, boards, rss, even emailsupport for users.

ECM Summit: Consultants – add more power!

ECM World Congress, Frankfurt: Is this it?

Almost hundred people joined the event, at least. (www.ecm-summit.de)

Keynotes were held by german consulter Ulrich Kampffmeyer,who focused on the Human Impact-Factor of Online Media, knallgrau CEO Dieter Rappolt, who presented some general highlight of nice campaigns (of course BMW) and Headshift Founder Lee Bryant, who emphasized that oldschool intranets are boring.

I think we have to speed up.

Multilingual Sites – designing custom solutions

We look at multilingual sites as a matter of workflow and technical problems. That’s not everything, we also have a lot of social and political issues.

How are they connected?

That also depends on what kind of multilingual sites we are talking:
