…without talking to them, of course. [Note: This has been sitting in my queue since September; I’m going to publish it as-is so it counts as “done.”]
- Papers (external)
- Reports (internal)
- Blogging
Blogging is like talking to them, but what’s the impetus to get a blogging (internal or external) program going? The NSF problem: how do you know it will work (i.e., help everyone know what everyone else is good at) without doing it first? Blogging as a fun part of work, not as a chore.
Purpose:
- to help make skills more widely known in-house
- internal development
- internal culture
-
not aimed at promotion of organization
- however, good bloggers are good ambassadors to the public and future partners
- external blogging is useful to draw in experts from outside the organization

Time commitments and return.
Personality of bloggers and readers–some people like to write, some like to read, some are a mix. Some would rather just talk to you.
Do some searching on this, maybe case studies are out there?
This is not what I am talking about (internal blogging for an external blog).
