I'm currently also wondering about the extent that participation by 'experts' in the domain, is important during the start-up phases. I guess it's important and in the case of corporate cops that might be the importance attached to it by management.Joitskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087406142343521335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18223796.post-85895537571324315952007-12-13T22:37:00.000+01:002007-12-13T22:37:00.000+01:00Yep, you're right.

The facilitation was improved by better communication with the target groups, the actual name "pub" that was crucial in quickly obtaining critical mass, and then some great early posts that demonstrated use and effectiveness. Con tinued encouragement and marketing, including at inductions, also helped as time rolled on.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The next phase was to have been looking at online forums, potentially in a blog or wiki platform. I even proposed to the head of strategy and the CEO that a senior management blog should have been initiated to improve internal communication.<BR/><BR/>As it turned out, I didn't receive any support from my manager and so I am no longer with the company.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>BradBrad H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02544959875002888806noreply@blogger.com
