Senior Leaders control collaboration technologies?
Just finished reading a great post by Andrew McAfee. Basically discusses the continued dependence on email in light of all of the E2.0 technologies that are out there. He proposes a hypothesis which states:
Within organizations, collaboration technologies are dictated by the most powerful person involved in the collaboration.
That really made me stop and think. It was one of those v-8 slaps to the head… that’s why organizations have such a difficult time adopting new collaborative technologies. We always establish the use cases for the field employee and rarely for the senior leader. I bet if we started at the senior leader level to get them to adopt the new technologies, the requisite follow along by employees would be a cake walk…
So what do you think of McAfee’s hypothesis. read the full article here http://andrewmcafee.org/2009/10/mcafees-hypothesis/
