You can only manage, what you can measure. But what do we want to measure in the first place? Measuring self-organising processes has to be different from measuring linear processes.

But then, why introducing self-organising collaboration tools in the first place?<br><br>You also have to consider that the tools, like authoring, serve different purposes in a knowledge discovery and innovation process. Authoring aides creativity teams to form, managers to transparently discuss and communicate decisions, departments to get an understanding for concerns present in the organisation as well as channelling customers\u00c2\u2019 feedback.<br><br>So what we should measure instead is not the frequency people made use of E2.0 tools, but the frequency they have been applied to processes or decisions in the different areas of organisation.

At later stages once the ideas have become more focused positive feedback becomes stronger as the transparency of decision-making process increases.. <br><br>Finally, interesting would be to measure, where those collaborative tools help reaching a decision.

However, this is not the sole reason for the participation. In addition to this, we enjoy sharing and spreading our own knowledge, and we see this as advantageous for our reputation.<br><br>For us, who actively participate in the company Wiki out of conviction, the ranking is not a disadvantage, instead we consider this a confirmation of our position.<br><br>On the other hand, what about employees who only participate in ESSPs for the ranking? We consider this a "mechanical" participation, and this brings up the question on whether time will transform it into conviction.<br><br>We believe that currently these ESSPs are still in an early phase considering their use in the industry, and that therefore they need certain degrees of freedom regarding the measurment / ranking of the employees. As mentioned before, a change in culture is required, which can be reached, in our opinion, rather by convincing people than forcing them into participation. One way to do this is to present successes achieved by using ESSPs to the employees.<br><br>Once such a change of culture has begun, it may make sense to implement a ranking. The presented 6-point radar chart, generated automatically, would allow each employee to check their status and to determine, which aspects can still be "improved".<br><br>Not least, such a chart will reflect the methods and the social competence of the employees.<br><br>One issue not considered is the following: what happens to an employee who has reached the maximum in all six dimensions? Will they continue their participation or rest on their laurels? Hence, measurement and ranking can serve as a personal determination of the status, but not as a comparison to co-workers.</div>\

While we do not have statistics on the main reasons why people use social software, their motivations seems to be largely intrinsic (i.e. making the best use of one\'s tools to do great work, connecting with colleagues, working in groups, sharing). Theory of motivation clearly shows that any form of extrinsic motivation comes with the danger of eliminating present intrinsic motivation. Possibly to the point where it does more harm than help. <br><br>However, such ratings show great promise for reviewing the general use of the available infrastructure as well as tendencies amongst employees. Social software is most likely not adopted at the same speed everywhere. Improvements to the software and specific training can be offered to those groups of employees that have not yet adopted new possibilities.<br><br>The diagrams do have another potential weakness. As a power law distribution will most likely always be present, most of the rating charts will consist of a mere blip in the very center. The graphs will possibly need to be improved, so that the lower percentages account for more space on the chart.</div>\

Measurement can help gauge the level of effectiveness of an enterprise.   I qualify it by adding "accurate measurement".   To date I do not see any accurate barometers or quantitative tools to measure Enterprise 2.0 performances.  Inaccurate measurements are worse than accurate measurements as it will bring uncertainty, frustrations and distrust which will work against the organization.<br><br>It is certainly useful to be able to quantify some aspects of Enterprise 2.0.

It\'s for you to find the right person to give you information on a certain topic!  The comparison is for your personal feedback too.  Do people think I\'m a jerk?

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5487866" class="dsq-comment-message">I fully concur with Kevin GambleÂ’s comment. You can only manage, what you can measure. But what do we want to measure in the first place? Measuring self-organising processes has to be different from measuring linear processes. By selecting items usage frequencies, like authoring, you incentivise its use - whether it supports the quality of self-organisation respective organisational goal or not. Is that really helpful?<br><br>After all, you do not know what the best outcome would be, or else you could design and formalise the process. But then, why introducing self-organising collaboration tools in the first place?<br><br>You also have to consider that the tools, like authoring, serve different purposes in a knowledge discovery and innovation process. Authoring aides creativity teams to form, managers to transparently discuss and communicate decisions, departments to get an understanding for concerns present in the organisation as well as channelling customersÂ’ feedback.<br><br>So what we should measure instead is not the frequency people made use of E2.0 tools, but the frequency they have been applied to processes or decisions in the different areas of organisation. Since the core question is, which processes have benefited the most, which have emerged, which have ceased existence?<br><br>I think your radar chart has good categories, though you will find that tagging is more likely to sky-rocket since it is the most efficient and a highly effective tool to connect person to people to content (three-tier). My hypothesis is, that using that chart to analyse fuzzy-front-end of innovation processes, you probably find that more authoring, editing, and interacting categories dominate. At later stages once the ideas have become more focused positive feedback becomes stronger as the transparency of decision-making process increases.. <br><br>Finally, interesting would be to measure, where those collaborative tools help reaching a decision. I.e. when managers have to make a decision on, for example, going ahead or stop the idea project, there should be qualitative measures such as top three most influencing discussions (discussion name + link + summary 150). This decision should be an aggregated info dossier, tagged accordingly and made available to the OrganisationÂ’s network.</div>\

Although the company I work for has a corporate intranet that allows for basic collaboration and a couple of us have introduced new tools recently around social bookmarking and micro-blogging, usage remains minimal.<br><br>I have given some thought to whether it would be valuable to incent people to use the tools since I do believe that people would find them useful. However, I see two problems with that approach. First, I agree with others\' comments that it would be difficult to determine the correct incentive that does not produce "garbage" while also not requiring large amount of manual effort to review and rate content. Second, I tend to believe that Enterprise 2.0 tools should be collaboration outlets that employees want to use willingly and not something that is force fed to them. To me, that is the time when you see the greatest benefit.<br><br>As far as a rating system is concerned, I would be hesitant to implement one around Enterprise 2.0 because I would not want to stifle an individual\'s willingness to contribute. As I mentioned above, I feel like the biggest benefits to Enterprise 2.0 should come when employees realize the benefits on their own and contribute at will. If a regular contributor sees that their personal feedback rating is very low will that reduce the amount of time they spend editing wikis and writing blog posts? Perhaps believing that people will see the value on their own is an idealistic point of view and I\'ll come around to wanting some sort of rating system eventually...<br><br>One other note, Dinesh, thanks for the link to the Gartner article.

Rarely am I able to talk about \'Enterprise 2.0\' and maintain their interest. Instead, I have to focus on the effects that proper group communications and knowledge capture will have on their workforce\'s ability to achieve organizational goals. I also stress the positive impact these tools have on the lives of their organizational leaders. With these tools they will gain the ability to manage group work without having to be physically present 24/7.

To get there, we would need to be able to roll-up or aggregate reputation across multiple social platforms.<br>While looking at "tasks" within each social platform is important to begin with, I think it is important to look at each social system holistically and choose the right reputation pattern based on more strategic objectives. For instance, a social Q&A; platform holds good potential of acting as a "proxy" to the users expertise and perhaps a pattern like a "LeaderBoard" or "Named Levels"[ Guru,Expert,Beginner etc.,] makes sense. Please see these reputation patterns from Yahoo - <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6jlul3" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/6jlul3</a> - I guess they are very relevant to enterprises as well.</div>\

Does the transition of SNS from popular media (in which popularity is per se the standard of value) into the corporate world require a new/different notion of quality besides popularity?</div>\
