nice article.
good ideas always come from sharing thoughts with other people and get their opinions.

Great point Melany, and I especially agree with the “all levels” aspect. Too often we forget to tap into the folks at the bottom of the pyramid when they are often the most grounded and connected to your clients.

Thanks for the comment Ursula. The kind of “higher up” information hoarding I’ve seen lately involves partial or incomplete communications on what’s really going on. I think many senior executives underestimate how plugged in employees really are. Putting your head in the sand because you’re not ready to have a difficult and transparent conversation is never the answer.

Great article, Mark. You point out the exact reasons why social business initiatives fail. The corporate culture has to reflect the shift to a more collaborative working environment – with both external and interal stakeholders – to succeed. This is something that needs to be championed at all levels of the organization.

Great article. Was true then, more true now due to economy & information on internet which previously was hoarded more by ‘higher ups’ I believe.
