“Since many organizations are in the process of a cultural evolution about how they collaborate and network …”

This quote intrigues me most of all. I am curious how you (jive) go about assessing the clients culture when starting a new implementation. I am starting up a research project around this and would love to get your input.

Hi Will, relying heavily on groups certainly poses a browsing issue for new users. In Part 3 this Friday, I’ll talk about a pattern that has emerged from some of our clients, based on recommendations that originated with my colleague and mentor, Kathryn Everest (props, KE!). There is no silver bullet when it comes to guiding newbies where you want them to go from a technological standpoint, which is why a strong advocate community can be quite critical in guiding new users to where they want to be.

This is fantastic work! Of course having worked with us at CSC, you know our preferred approach was the Emergent Group. Enterprise 2.0 is all about ‘emergent’ activity and crowdsourcing. We felt prescribing a structure was imposing our organization boundaries on what should be a flexible tool. Make no mistake – you still need to ‘garden’ even in the prescriptive approach. So the extra effort to watch for duplicates or dead groups is no different than watching for dead spaces. I love this article! It’s a great model for future folks to look at and think about. Good work Gia!

Not yet; still in the concept, design and ideation phase. Once we get buyin from the lead team to drop 85% of our categories (sub-communities), we’ll be looking for help.

Another question: With heavy reliance on groups, how do you control / guide users to the correct group, and how do you manage the (potential) confusion of blog posts, documents, etc?

Hi Will,

We’ve done loads of migrations from previous forum applications – are you working with Jive Support on this?
