My research brain is exploding with ideas and I have recently did a enterprise 2.0 experiment and below are the lessons learnt. I am sorry I can’t disclose the details of the experiment but I can tell you what I got out of it.
1) Technology is important. Clearly the tool must meet the requirements (Duh!). However, what I mean here is that usability is EXTREMELY important. Average is not good enough. It must be so simple baby bommers can learn it quickly.
2) Collaboration will not work if no collaboration is needed.
3) Teams working at the same location sitting beside each other tends not to use collaboration tools. They rather talk about it.
4) Collaboration requires “champions” within the teams to push and evangelise the benefits of Collaboration. They also work as a role model for collaboration.
5) Advanced messaging is a requirement just like “The Wall” on facebook. The tool must be able to send private and public messages to everyone or just a specific group.
If you like more details, please contact me.
