I have started work on book #3 ... it's not on SharePoint this time, but is rather a more general exploration of the use and value of collaboration technology in organizations. My question for today is: Who owns "collaboration" at your firm?
Is it:
- the IT department?
- the HR department?
- each business group?
- ... or is ownership mixed between these groups and more?
By "ownership", I'm thinking of the following ideas:
- has the responsibility for analyzing work processes and recommending ways of improving those through collaboration technology.
- has the responsibility for analyzing specific collaboration technologies and recommending or deciding on which ones to use.
- has the responsibility for helping staff use new collaboration technology effectively in their work.
So ... who owns "collaboration" at your firm?, and what does ownership mean at your place of work?
Looking forward to hearing from you ... please leave a comment below, or contact me to arrange an off-the-record discussion.
