Another blog – decision tree on communications…

December 8, 2006




I’ll add this one to the blogroll http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/, but the boss was particularly taken with the diagram on when to use old communications, when to use new ones & why.  Nice blog, nice diag at http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/categories/blogsBlogging/

I also liked some comments:

“What are the reasons we use faulty judgement, and use the wrong technology for communications? …

  • Unavailability: Some organizations refuse to allow IM, blogs, wikis or free collaboration tools or ‘free’ tools that need to be downloaded to each PC, for security or centralized management reasons. Obviously, if the tools aren’t available, less appropriate tools have to be used.

    • …these technologies are getting better and cheaper at the same time, and there is a long-overdue trend to more simplicity and intuitiveness in some new tools. Unfortunately, many large organizations remain in the communication stone age, locked into expensive, centrally managed, unfriendly, sub-optimal legacy technologies. The change to decentralized, free, and open tools is just too frightening for many heavily-invested organizations to contemplate”.

    Bugger it, I’ll post the whole diagram to pretty things up a bit. Thank you Dave Pollard…
