14 How Ex ecut ives & Managers Could Use IBM Connect ions Blog to the Intranet as a means to Communicate Blogging can be used to propagate important messages, announcements, etc and strengthen organizational culture and corporate identity Create an Executive Community As a clearinghouse of key resources created by the Executives themselves (or their staff) for Executive consumption. This would be a Private Community for Executive Access Only The Community of Executives would use: The Forum to discuss key ideas Files to circulate key documents, The Wiki could be used by support staff to communicate all Executive schedule, travel, etc Create Communities for others to communicate directly to and prepare content for Executive Consumption As those who report to Executives create content, presentations, briefs, etc, Communities could be used to maintain a record of and network for the Executives Essentially, the experts contribute to an Executive Community so that the Executives have access to all important content Executives could host open discussions with employees in Forums Use Profiles to participate in the social networks with their staff To mentor, encourage, and evangelize using Status Updates Open the door or office of the Executive office by allowing employees to communicate directly onto the Executives' boards Microblog to get feedback and start discussions with the organization Use watchlists, updates, and search to review the health of the organization knowledge Potentially, this could be extended to Social Network Analysis Keep updated as key Stakeholders in organization initiatives (ie. follow a blog from specific team or business leader)
