Chris, thanks for your comment! I agree, in many situations, design teams are relatively small. However, the power of social application and collaboration can be in cross-team connections. Something that can be very hard to do in a formal way. One of the examples I had a chance to explore, is knowledge referencing in large organizations. Salesforce.com and SAP examples are not bad in figuring out how they see values of social products. I think, this is also a place that actively explored by many vendors. Best, Oleg

I think the truth is product are designed be clearly defined teams of people which means they are not designed by the massive random groups that decide to jump in and give design a try. When it comes to user feedback and market requirements there are clear team members that have the responsibility to define these, using what ever tools they can.

Chris, this blog reflects my opinion, so I cannot comment on DS Social Innovation strategy. I’d recommend you to watch some online materials about Social Innovation as well as product releases. My view is that this is going very aligned with the overall social software trend, Enterprise 2.0 and similar product development. Best, Oleg

Oleg like so much of DS chatter it is impossible to know if “Social Innovation” is an application or a concept. It would be nice to have a more clear definition if this is a new name for what we know a something else or is this a new solution? Al la PTC’s Social Product Development, a message combined with new features added to Windchill like features on a new platform.

Kate, As a user, I wanted to be able to share “my content” and “my discussion” on all platforms with no need to replicate. Think about comments provided by multiple people on multiple platforms… How I can get an access to all of them? You have one community for marketing and another community for competitive and business intelligence; but how they can interact. Communities have a tendency to overlap? All these questions, in my view, are not simple if you get inside of the company. Think as a user in our company communities. Do you want to have five systems? I’m not sure… On the other side, to claim one system is also not working perfectly. We have seen this with many other examples – one of the “business process management” etc. Thanks for your comments! Oleg.
