What do social collaborative tools mean to you? 10 June 2009 Karen Blakeman www.rba.co.uk

Or are they about..
Sharing knowledge with colleagues
Keeping up to date with new developments
A more efficient way of collaborating on articles, documents, policies, contracts, conference programmes, training materials
A quick and easy way of providing information to your users and clients through different platforms, applications and devices
Establishing new contacts
Reputation monitoring – what are people saying about your organisation, its services, its products?
Marketing and promoting your organisation’s and your own skills and expertise
10 June 2009 Karen Blakeman www.rba.co.uk

Collaborative tools are nothing new
Social collaborative tools or Web 2.0 or cloud computing, or social media
Before the term Web 2.0 was invented we were already collaborating and sharing
web based forums, email discussion, discussion boards for sharing information and expertise
meetings and conferences
newsletters
the telephone!
The new tools have increased the options available to us and enable us to re-use and combine information in different ways

They are also about…
Sharing and move “stuff” around
put the latest news and headlines on your web site, blog, twitterstream
share your presentations, videos, photos and make them more “visible”
automatically re-use information and automatically transfer it from one application to another, one service to another, for example via RSS feeds
web site
Twitter
Facebook
Netvibes
iGoogle
Blog

Videos
For example Vimeo, YouTube
News, ‘how to’ videos, corporate broadcasts, presentations, advertise your services

Embed videos in your blog, Facebook page, start page, web site etc.

Blogs
May not be called a blog
What’s New, Current Awareness, News & Announcements
Instead of or in addition to a printed, emailed or static web based newsletter
what’s new, alerts
CPD – recording professional development and reflective practice ( can keep them private)
Recording project development and discussions
Alternative publishing medium, small web sites
Blogs as sources of information
Blogs as part of competitor and reputation monitoring
what are people saying about you or your competitors

Tools for collaborating on documents
Single locally stored copy instead of multiple email copies
Version control
For example Google Docs (beware privacy issues), wikis
collaborators do not have to be running the same software or same version of the software
can see the “time line” or history of edits, who has edited what and when
useful in compliance situations
Wikis that work in the real world http://tinyurl.com/a32rnf

Can anything go wrong?
Of course it can!
Carry out a risk assessment – what would the consequences be if…

It can be risky but ….
