What are the rules for working with others in this environment?

Social Rules and Governance

Centralized social governance focuses on one or more leaders who make all the decisions…

Delegated social governance subdivides that control and decision making

Delegated

Republic governance moves to elected leaders who make the decisions for the rest…

Republic

Starfish social governance defines common overall principles but each local area runs independently

It is important to be clear on which context you have in mind

26BlueIQ

The reality is…

Find the context that you need first, THEN match a tool that meets it

One context may not be enough, especially with larger or more diverse organizations

If a complex mix, provide a guide for users on what you intend

Do you REALLY need it all?

User FAQs, New-to docs, Usage policies

Be flexible, adapt to users needs over time.

Be careful of large scale change
