coffee cup and notepadRadical Inclusion is conducting qualitative research to learn more about how organizations are adopting and implementing collaborative practices for addressing business issues  for work purposes using social media platforms such as discussion boards, chat, wikis, mind maps, community builders such as Ning, etc.

Purpose of research
The intent of the research is to learn what sorts of business issues are being addressed,  what approaches are working well and about approaches to adoption and use.

Interview participants will be invited to a briefing of results and receive a summary report of research findings.  Individual and organizational identities will not be shared.

Interview candidates are sought from  organizations who are:

  1. are actively involved in online collaborations that go beyond web-meetings and the use of social media for marketing purposes.
  2. are involved in decisions to use social media in order to find information, expertise and resources related to business or organizational issues outside traditional work group boundaries to
  3. from established non-profits, foundations, universities, corporations, research facilities, government agencies of 50 or more employees.

Interviews are conducted by phone appointment  and will last approx 20-30 minutes.

We are developing the study primarily or internal education purposes.  Researchers have been doing this sort of work for more than 15 years, therefore, the  quality of analysis and summary will be professional and high value.

We are self-funded and not sponsored by vendors or any other business.

If you are interested in participation in this project, please email us hello [at] radical-inclusion [dot] com.  Tell us a little bit about who you represent and how you’re involved.

Thank you.
