Corporate Blogs

Michael Schrage asks:

What kind of company actually allows an unauthorized, unedited blog about one of its most sensitive projects? While transparency and openness behind the firewall may be a wonderful thing, I don't know how thrilled I'd be about ERP blogs if I were CIO.

Answer: the kind of company who understands the risks of poor communication on a critical project are higher than the risks of information leaks.

Internal IT project web sites have been around for a while, I remember hearing about them at least a year ago at a DC SPIN presentation.
