Demo Scenario 4 Summary
• What if employees use these tools to post hate speech or pornography?
• What if blogs are used to denigrate the company or air dirty laundry or talk about how misguided the company leadership is?
• What if this results in no-work conversations?• If we give up tight control over our company’s
intranet, how can we possibly avoid running foul of all potentially relevant regulations and laws?
A word on the risks
• While anonymity is the default on the Internet, on the intranet attribution is the norm
• Self policing and the simple awareness that “the boss” may be observing behaviour
• Criticism of the organisation can be an opportunity to become aware of problems and to address them
• Platform technologies can help reduce risk whereas channel technologies actually increase it
Red Herrings Perhaps?
• Allow employees to capture and share their knowledgeo Most people have something to contributeo Sense of validation from sharing
• Help to build a corporate cultureo Sense of common mission; fighting to achieve a common goal
• Helps build and maintain networkso Capabilities support ties at various levels of tie-strength, potential, weak and
strong• Taps into the wisdom of the crowds
o Collective intelligence generates answers or structure from a dispersed group• Increases employee’s ability to discover
o Find and engage with experts• Gives people easier, faster, and better access to the information they
need to do their jobso More open information that is readily available to everyone
