Organizational Culture & Blogging
When I think of the large public library system where I work, I think of buildings that are never open, leaky roofs and that post about how our salaries are so low it's insulting.
How can we change our organizational culture, to make us communicators and innovators and shift our image back to the cornerstone of democracy and ideas, from the place that's never open, with the crumbling plaster and paint chips?
I know I'm mixing internal organizational culture with how we're viewed by the world, but I'm not sure how this distinction even works in such a service-driven organization. Our staff is a huge part of our service. Our perceptions of our workplace will be our users' perception of our workplace.
I wish we had a blog on our intranet, and I wish we were encouraged to use IM at work.
