Applied Collaboration – Participation as KPI

Collaboration – in terms of knowledgemanagement, discussions, sharing or cooperating – strongly depends on participation. That’s a no-brainer.

But why not integrate employee’s participation in the kpis that are part for their bonuses?Andrew MacAfee raised some questions in his blog.

Actually we thought of connecting our future prediction markte to senior managers’ bonuses: They have to make their decisions on what they want to bet on, and the employees’ market will tell them within three months if they were right.

We did not receive very clear answers to that but the other model found definitely more supporters. In that other model, employees trade on the market and senior managers decide afterwards, if they were right and if this idea will be pursued any further.

But still: scientists’ currency are publications, writers and artists have to make themselves heard – so why not rate knowledge workers who claim to be innovative and creative by their collaborative and social output beyond their dedicated projects?

Only thinking about this could help speed up a lot of things.
