Key take aways
Fungai Alexander Mapondera | © Landis+Gyr | October 1, 2015 | PUBLIC
Meeting different stake holder expectations
1. Don’t be tool/technology centric – understand what the needs are first
2. Engage with the prospective users of the platform – understand their needs, concerns etc.
3. Empower users to positively contribute – share knowledge
4. Governance is not the ‘be-all and end-all’ – it can’t manage everything –things are changing and so is the way people work
5. Allow for flexibility
6. Be prepared to confront CULTURE
7. Realize as much value as possible from your solution
