The choice of collaboration tools is not simply a technical decision, and something you can throw over the wall and expect people to use successfully, but often it ends up as a political decision that goes straight up to the CEO and even ends up in boardroom discussions for large multi-nationals. So why are collaboration tools so political? In my opinion, one reason is that when you start to change the way people communicate with each other (inside the company) and how they can share content, you begin to change the organizational structure. People are very picky about what, how and with what they do these behaviors with (after all collaboration is a human behavior not a technology). (c) David Coleman
