Recenty Escaped a Borg Collective
by Steve Elmore on May 08, 2008 - 05:41 PM read 1903 timesSteve Elmore's old employee picture We are (not) Borg "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." The Borg provide a wonderful metaphor for the groupthink that occurs in many organizations. I have worked for a number of Borg collectives and recently escaped yet another. My role was to launch the collective's first external facing wiki. There were a number of technological challenges, but the most insidious challenge was ... read more -

Survey capability on e.laborate
by Tim Bevins on Apr 11, 2008 - 01:49 PM read 1605 timesI see that, with e.laborate, we can create one-question polls and multi-question polls ("surveys") with questions on separate pages, but can we create a multi-question survey like the ones we do using our Vovici/Websurveyor subscription? I have attached a PDF of one we are using for the RLT Re.sults project. Market segments (Agile Techology, Customer Experience) are interested in running brief "teaser" surveys of a few questions - perhaps 10 - ... read more -
Questions about locking, default tags, and group memberships
by Brittain on Mar 29, 2008 - 05:07 PM read 1571 timesA few notes based on this thread, I've excerpted the relevant points for simplicity: "Yes, all of the Re.sults interest groups/members/team areas are "private". The BSGLock is a new default setting that needs to be manually removed if you want non-BSG Alliance people to see what you're posting in a private area. The areas are completely private and impenetrable." This is 100% true. "Right.lt just adds one more step to ... read more -

Sub-Tagging
by Alan Savoy on Mar 14, 2008 - 03:30 PM read 659 timesThere seem to be a number of questions around how to find information in e.laborate. While the tagging idea is a useful solution, it does not seem intuitive for those used to tree navigation. One example would be the question last night during the e.laborate training where one person was asking where meeting minutes should go. It occurred to me that one potential way of bridging this gap is to ... read more -
HowTo: Oops I meant to keep that conversation private!
by Brittain on Mar 08, 2008 - 11:13 AM read 852 timesLet's be honest, communicating online is new and different. One of the common mistakes made is not securing a conversation that isn't intended for the everyone. Why does this happen? Frankly, it's because e.laborate can't guess your intended audience for you and apply the correct secure tags (read this primer about the data security mechanisms). Certainly, e.laborate tries! Start a conversation from a group page or on a secured menu and the tag ... read more -
HowTo: handle aggregating content from multi-author blogs
by Brittain on Mar 06, 2008 - 12:12 PM read 878 timesThis how-to was sparked by our aggregation of Eric Seubert, et al's Talent blog. Others with a multi-author blog may find this helpful so it's posted here. === There's a few things that can be done. The basic problem is there's no credible identity in the RSS feed from the Talent blog. Therefore, when we setup the feed we assign it an owner (you, in this case). When each entry is ... read more -
Pricing: Metaphor hunting
by Kelly on Mar 05, 2008 - 05:29 PM read 1119 timesAs I think about our pricing I am trying to find something familiar that customers (and/or just ourselves) can have in mind to help make the pricing easy to understand. One thing I am kicking around is train travel – NGE as a journey - although I am not sure we want the journey to end. Perhaps our subscriptions are like Eurail passes. There can be different classes of travel, ... read more -

NGE ideas circa 1997 - CyberGuild
by Jeff Milne on Oct 18, 2007 - 06:01 PM read 1448 timesHere are some notes from a business plan that a former BSG employee and I worked on in 1997. Not many were thinking in this direction. Back in the early 80's at Texas Instruments, we had much of the technology - but it was limited to internal interactions. Since then, cost factors overwhelmed barriers - and here we are - on the cusp of a new way to mass produce and distribute goods, ... read more -
