Hi Phil,
I think enterprise 2.0 collaborative technologies are about taking the discussion around the coffee machine - when folks were co-located - and moving it into an environment that builds global community (no matter where you're located). There's no difference around the "quality" of data - it's just dialogue. The insight will come from the "collective", as JP Rangaswami notes. Simply giving visibility to the dialogue allows for collaboration and collaboration is where sparks of insight occur and that's where quality decisions are made.
Thanks for commenting!

Thanks Ana! It looks like you're with Siemens - a company of 430,000 people (so says LinkedIn)! I appreciate the vote of confidence and encouragement.

Lynn,
It's always nice to have your thoughts. I'm glad you read this post. I'm definitely not "anti-assessment" as long as they don't replace real dialogue. Karen Copp's comment below captures my belief, "I find them most valuable as tools for discussion and planning..." I wholeheartedly support your effort and work towards gathering the most effective and useful assessments. (Anyone reading this should visit Lynn's site and comment on the following post:http://www.elephantsatwork.com/assessments/the-li... ).
Cheers friend!
