Collaboration Focuses on New Capabilities Source: Accenture (2008)

Microblogging: More Than Fun Source: Accenture

Gap 1: Conversations are Not Captured

Enterprises have gone through its phases of knowledge management and e-Learning tools

But the hurdles to capture and share short chunks of information are too high with the existing tools

Quick decisions are not being documented as it is not enough for a document or worth completing a form

Reason: Traditional business thinking around formal processes and tools ensure process adherence

Blogs and Twitter-style Tools Fill this Gap

Microblogging for Project Communication

Gap 2: Policies for Dealing with UGC

In every conversation experts and people closest to an issue create microinformation

Everbody can contribute and consume, but …

Policies for the investigation process of examination, fact-checking, and evaluation of learning messages are not available

When ideas evolve into something concrete then they usually require a different environment

Gap 3: Transition to a More Organized Thinking and Collaboration Environment

Governance and policies in enterprises: change from control to coordination

More structured information sharing

But also: A higher (emotional) hurdle to use this tool

How can Wikis be designed to support teaching and learning objectives?

Gap 4: Support of Collective Activities

Most tools in enterprises focuse on collaboration and set groups

A majority of users will not have a high level of engagement with a given group

As we engage with the web, we leave behind breadcrumbs of attention

Support for collective activities are critical

Gap 5: Learning in the Cloud

A lot of relevant (digital) content is outside the company (eg. at customers, partners, or suppliers site)

Innovative enterprises are interested to share content in learning communities

Open Content gains momentum

Findability becomes critical: Optimize content to make it findable

for search engines

for human beings within a network ecology
