“Connecting the Individual and Team Levels : there has to be tight (”seamless”) integration between the team and individual levels. This means that the electronic environment that each user works in must support in-the-workflow integration between individual needs and team needs.

Connecting Team and Corporate Level Information to the Individual Level : the concept of “What’s changed that may impact me?” is a key question that drives a lot of our information-related activities. We read the newspaper to see “what’s changed?” We watch the TV news, read blogs, follow Twitter, etc. for this same purpose. And it’s my contention that this same fundamental idea needs to apply in our Intranet environments.”

In my opinion…

In this post, Michael Sampson aims at matching his seven-pillar model with James Robertson’s three-level model of how information is managed inside a company. He also sketches a representation of these levels centered around an employee.

Giving employees the ability to be aware of “changes which impact them” not only helps for effective collaboration, but moreover it allows them to make better choices.

Just check out Michael’s draft as a basis for asking yourself “Which levels in my company does information flow well through (or not)?”
