Enabling The Discussion

What We Need To Be Thinking About
The consumer information space is ahead of the ‘professional’ information space.
What we do with technology at home migrates into the work space.
People Access Information from Multiple Sources.
Users Want To Contribute.
Feedback is important.

How Do You Leverage The New Model?
“Listen” to the people who consume your information.
Involve them in the process.
Leverage the technology they are using anyway.
Social networks.
Wikis.
Get used to “letting go.”
