Six things to consider prior to your collaboration initiative:
1: Purpose: Think small. Define a specific, narrow purpose with metrics. Focus on business drivers, not technology.
2: Participation: Identify a system owner and create low barriers to participation.
3: Possibilities: Understand your user audience and put their needs above yours.
4: Plan to Change: Be flexible. Constantly collect feedback and act on the best ideas quickly. Reward participation by showing ideas have merit and are valued.
5: Perseverance: Do not reach beyond your means; implement with a conservative view of user participation. Do projects that make sense – they must serve a purpose and meet a need.
6: Patience: Be patient; your Enterprise 2.0 strategy is constantly evolving.
