Editor's Notes
- A key challenge for all corporations in embracing new social tools is the need to balance confidentiality, privacy and intellectual property protection against the benefits of increased openness. How can this be achieved without stifling innovation?
- How many of you have one of these? know what this is? Ideas need to be widespread to be known and to be adopted widespread adoption of ideas and products - need to be distributed The Long Tail
- two lessons from recent literature future of management - command and control structures invented by Henry Ford are dead - be ready to release control - look at companies like WL Gore, Google, Whole Foods grown up digital - your employees are more likely to be experts than you are - consider more social media internally to share that knowledge and engage new hires
- Don’t block Don’t fear
- patent leadership Around 380,000 employees;165 countries Several large divisions Systems and Technology Consulting Services Software Research
- At IBM we started with some guidelines. It’s probably foolish to go without. They are linked with our general Business Conduct Guidelines. “In 1997, IBM recommended that its employees get out onto the Net – at a time when many companies were seeking to restrict their employees' Internet access. We continue to advocate IBMers' responsible involvement today in this new, rapidly growing space of relationship, learning and collaboration.” So IBM’s embrace of these technologies builds on a history of innovation. The message - don’t fear employees, competitors or the public - let them engage constructively Our blogging guidelines are widely recognised, used as a template, and have been used as a basis for other policies covering podcasting, virtual worlds and conduct in social media

- 12 Rules from Bringing ‘Social’ to your Business article by Dion Hinchcliffe (NB Social Business has a different defn in Wikipedia, but this is a nice alternative) If you are on Twitter you already know how powerful that intersection space beyond the firewall can be Customers and partners want to co-create products and shape our priorities. This is where the most powerful innovation can happen - in the space between organisations. “rethink your views on intellectual property” (Hinchcliffe) Examples - shared source initiatives like Jazz and Eclipse and sMash; communities like Lotus Live; HomeCamp and Smarter Planet awareness

- Lack of education / guidelines can lead to accidental breaches - e.g. rumours Pay attention to other licensing models - GPL, terms of service, CC etc. Play nice with communities, don’t exploit them
