Nathan @ e-gineer: Building Enterprise 2.0 on Culture 1.0

    • All knowledge work is either individual or group based, and it is always performed in an individual, shared or open environment.

      The Enterprise Collaboration Maturity Model depicts these work models, and incorporates the cultural journey that enterprises take to reach each stage. Currently, Janssen-Cilag provides an open Wiki (high capability maturity) but primarily uses it as Groupware (medium usage maturity).

      To continue our journey, Janssen-Cilag needs to become comfortable with the idea that published content is not finalised. Specifically, we need users to:

      1. Make contributions in an open space that are not policy or announcements.
      2. Edit work or information that is owned collectively.
      3. Sharing knowledge adds more work (“I don’t have time to share”); and
      4. Sharing knowledge increases personal risk (“I don’t want to share”).

      These negatives cannot be eradicated, but they can be minimised.

  • Tools for collaboration must do everything possible to reduce the friction of contributing. It needs to be so easy to use, that you can literally laugh at anyone who tells you it is too hard (in a nice, let me show you, kind of way). In practice this means single sign on, one-click editing and instant gratification on saving. Hurdles like slow technology, login screens, workflow approvals or training kill collaboration before you even start.
