Collaborate on collaboration
Sunday Apr 27, 2008
One of the projects that I am working on is to put together a virtual community for our Top Accounts to interact with each other, and the Industries & Practices organisations. As this means working together within an Account Team, but also collaborate with other part of Sun's organisation, I thought it would be a good idea for people to work together on the collaboration strategy for our Top Accounts.
So I created this wiki page on our internal platform and invited my team members and stakeholders to jointly develop this collaboration strategy. This would not only lead to the development of an excellent collaboration strategy (Wisdom of Crowds, remember), but would in the same time demonstrate to any potential users, that such collaboration in the virtual world, using a wiki, is possible.
The problem I am seeing is that so far I have received very little feedback on this idea, let alone a lot of contributions via edits of the above mentioned wiki page.
I guess change really is difficult to implement at Sun, but I can imagine the same is true for other corporations and organisations. I do realise it's still difficult for people to see a wiki as a vital work tool, but I will not give up trying, as I am convinced of the tremendous value that such a collaboration tool offers.
So, now comes the "I Want You" part. If you feel that you can help us to put together this collaboration strategy, if you have any best practices experience or other suggestions that can help us to show how our Top Accounts can increase their productivity and sales successes, do let us know.
All comments on this blog are welcome, also alternatively, if you are a Sun employee you can directly access the wiki page, and make your edits there.
A big thank you in advance!
