We run IBM's quickr and have do some interesting things with it including allowing clients in to have access to wiki's for developing concepts. Our understanding, led mainly by Jon, on driving behaviours and adopt around such tools is really growing. So much if not all the value in such an application is tied to the instinctive usage. This is always undermined by the reverting to type and relying on the substitutes that people know.So it is with...
