    Heather Coleman replied to the topic Internal Crowdsourcing Success Stories? in the forum Technology 7 years, 10 months ago

    All good examples of platforms for crowdsourcing. Another one that instantly came to mind was Speakup Austin! which uses a product called CivicIdeas and takes the crowdsourcing a step further in that it allows the good/popular ideas to move into a “focus group”-like setting for further discussion and movement towards implementation.

    I think Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, New Jersey does a great job interacting with his community via Twitter:

    Heather Coleman replied to the topic How many direct reports can you handle? in the forum Human Resources 8 years, 6 months ago

    Was just talking about this very subject with a previous manager of mine yesterday. He said from an emergency management perspective they say the span of control is 5-7 people and he recommends that be applied to management practices as well for the highest level of effectiveness.

    What about the concept of decentralized leadership and flat…[Read more]

    Heather Coleman replied to the topic Why should I care about Pinterest? in the forum Technology 8 years, 8 months ago

    I’m not a huge fan of the way Pinterest does the collaborate feature. You might want to ask one of the users what the email notification said. I don’t think there is a way to customize it and some users might not know what it is. I had a friend that wondered why this new board showed up on her profile and how others were pinning to it. So if it is…[Read more]

    Heather Coleman replied to the topic Why should I care about Pinterest? in the forum Technology 8 years, 8 months ago

    Wait, how is it that your target audience doesn’t include women? Seriously though, I think it could be an interesting platform to test out some ideas – say a contest for a ticket to the Next Generation of Government Summit. Have users create a board “What Government Means to Me” and share pins that exemplify the best ideas they see in government…[Read more]

    Heather Coleman replied to the topic What are some great ways to recognize team members for accomplishments? in the forum Leadership, Management, Supervision 8 years, 11 months ago

    A little recognition goes a long way. I worked with a large team that gave out “Kudos” bars during the all staff meetings. Anyone could nominate someone else for a “kudos” and then explained why they deserved it. It got people thinking about their peers and how they had helped them in the last month.

    The “I’m going to XYZ for # months” meme that’s going around. Might be for charity but I see so many responders who think it is serious.
