Minimal control over technology use is a mantra I’ve been chanting into the blogosphere for a while now. The great majority of people know how to behave, want to do their jobs well, and are predisposed to be helpful to their colleagues. If you believe what’s in your mission statement, empower your people (who are, as you say, your most important resource) with the new digital tools without lecturing them too much about how to use them appropriately. When I see 20-page social media policy documents, I always think they could be reduced to one sentence: “We’d really prefer that you not use social media.”
Control Technology Choice, Not Technology Use
