Very nice work! That experience of gathering or categorizing data always produces such interesting results. I look forward to the change to participate in these subgroups… and perhaps at some point in the future, to evaluate the impact of having organized ourselves in this manner.

Luc,
We are truly fortunate to have had your time and talents available to us for this task. I look forward to more in-depth and focused conversations in the areas of greatest interest to me. With focused sub-groups, I am more inclined to respond and participate. With great appreciation, Veronica

@David Cheatham: There is indeed a risk of cluttering the system. Parallel to that, there is the possibility to benefit from in-depth discussions. It is true that this will need some extra facilitation, but it is worth taking the risk. I will monitor this proces from colosby and take approriate actions – even if that means closing down subgroups. But for the time being I intend to go for it until I am proven wrong – by facts. Thanks, Luc.

Luc,

Your exercise is well-intentioned but is not sound change mgt. or communications strategy. Organizational change encompasses all the categories that members shared. Sub-dividing = fragmentation, and hampers the sharing of best-practice. And tactically, members may have up to 5 x more links to access to gain a sufficient overview and connect with others, contributing to clutter. Too often leaders take action in an organization (or online community) simply because we can do it. LinkedIn baited the hook, and we swallowed. For more on this, see the best-sellers Blur and Paradox of Choice.
