Intranet or Wiki...that is the question!
What's the answer? Seems we have a bit of debate going on regarding the best place to post content for employee engagement of the North Star elements. I suggest we use the Wiki as much as we can. We can always link in and out of the intranet if we use the Wiki as our home base, but we can't easily connect with employees if we use the intranet. This team is all about connecting with employees and making them part of the process. Does this mean allowing them to change a document like the Action Plan on KM and CT? No. Does it mean directing them to content that hasn't gone through rigorous approvals before being posted? Possibly. Is that a problem? I don't think so, but I am also a big believer in using the Wiki as a key meeting place to bring people together with a common interest but varying opinions. Yes, the Wiki can be messy and tough to navigate at times but everything is there and on it, even though I might not contribute a single thought, I feel empowered to contribute - I feel like I could be a part of anything. I don't have that connection on the intranet.
An additional concern I have is the anonymity that seems to be a given with anything intranet. On the Wiki I can be identified. As a result, I act responsibly. I share opinions and expertise where it makes sense for me to do so, I take delight in correcting grammar and typos and I am a passive reader everywhere else. But I have the choice.
How do others feel?

Commencons parler
Finalement! J'ai reussie a établir un blog pour l'équipe Chac1.
What a great feeling. For the short term we'll use this external blogger service and once our NRCan blog is set up will flip over to that one. We have just been having so many great email discussions lately, that I didn't want to wait another second to begin capturing them for the benefit of all employees and future generations : )
Let's work hard to bring all our conversations to this blog. Let's invite extended team members, focus groups, senior leaders, employees here to weigh in and have a say. North Star is the guiding light but people will make change happen. NRCan is a rockin place to work and as a department contributes to the quality of life of every Canadian - we just need to demonstrate how.
