Willing volunteers…

Given the recent thoughts on collaboration, Mike Chitty has a great piece along similar lines, although he compares the private and public sector.

It is a strange paradox that many private sector clients are making genuine efforts at developing employee engagement in pursuit of profits while so many third sector and public sector organisations are developing processes and systems that alienate employees and volunteers in pursuit of efficiency.

As mentioned elsewhere, one possible way around this may well come from creating and encouraging ‘Small World’ networks.
