There are individual tools out there for you to capture your own thinking and reflection. Then there are team sharing and collaboration tools. Then there are ones at the community level, and the organisational level. There are tools at each level. […]

Paul, thanks for the feedback. Yes, there can be requirements around the tools that can be used. One of the reasons to make this list is to help orgs understand the different layers and get them thinking about whether they’re using ‘best of breed’ or not. Ultimately, coupling productive tools with innovation practices and culture will be required for organizations to be optimally agile! I do think people can get around some of the restrictions (e.g. you can use your mobile to get other email than corporate), but ultimately the battle with IT over enabling productivity via communication and collaboration in a tradeoff with security and scrutability will determine org success.

Another example is one organization I worked with would only allow MS Explorer for a web browser and every other tool of this type was not allowed or supported. Thus, you have a Required listing (or being prohibited from using an alternative). Also, you could have an Optional set of choices for the specific tool category which would allow personal but not corporate choices.

In some environments only special, very specific tools may be used at the level beyond personal and – it may also be that some tools in common use may be prohibited even on a personal level for some due to employment concerns or restrictions. This additional complexity may be uncommon but still substantially present. Just thinking…

Paul –

Intriguing, Connie. I’m trying to imagine what you might mean: personal learning, sharing and feedback, asking specific questions, and collaborating? Can you elaborate?

I think this is an interesting way to think about tools, kind of like in layers. And the categories (Organization, Community, Team, Personal) could be modified for the individual.
