The Nexus of Defined Business Process and Ad Hoc Collaboration
ECM enables controlled, repeatable content publication processes, whereas social software empowers rapid, collaborative creation and sharing of content. There is a place for both in large enterprises. Sameer’s suggestion was that social software be used for authoring, sharing, and collecting feedback on draft documents or content chunks before they are formally published and widely distributed. ECM systems may then be used to publish the final, vetted content and manage it throughout the content lifecycle.
Beyond the Big Bang: Strategy as Habit
Instead of strategy as Big Bang, what about strategy as Habit? ALL organizations require strategic thinking to succeed, but few organizations actually face the dramatic moment -- ever, or certainly very often. If that is true, then the sweet spot for strategy is something more routine, more "everyman", more evolutionary, more of a living process. Strategy as Habit has 2 components, in keeping with the 2 primary definitions of the word "habit": (1) a regular practice and (2) a long, loose garment worn by a member of a religious order. (In case you've forgotten that second definition: picture here). Strategic thinking is a recurrent, involuntary action. Our strategy is both a content statement and a style statement, both of which define and identify our team. Strategy is participative. Strategy has structure without being overly constrictive.

The founding strategy may not start with the people, but its implementation and all subsequent strategy evolutions are hugely influenced by the people. They are the ones, after all, who design the business systems, develop their skills, train each other, shape shared values daily, and project the culture's style to thousands of customers every day. They watch competitors on the street, and they listen to prospects who've declined proposals. In all but the smallest organizations, the CEO's ability to drive the details of strategy execution in all these areas around the company is practically nil.
