In 2008, the 'Hogeschool' (English: college) initiated a project entitled “Policy Workshop 2013”. The result of this project would be a policy framework for their organization. The new policy should bring together insights, opinions and wishes of students, staff and stakeholders. A wiki was one of the instruments to achieve that goal.
Objectives of the project:
- powerful, stakeholder oriented vision strategic direction
- shift towards a co-creative organization
- wiki with 4 main topics (platform: Wikispaces)
- conferences for managers, teams, external experts (educational/non-educational)
- work meetings
- flyers
- weekly blog members of the board
- Café 2020 (SURF - foundation scenario's)
- formal conclusions by management
- enthusiastic discussion in work- and staff meetings
- lots of corridor chat
- representative Advisory Body were involved
- limited participation students and external stakeholders in the wiki
- involvement with the topic (what's in it for me?)
- unstructured nature of the process and open medium
- initial text not seen as an incentive
- pressure of work
- main issues strategic direction taken for granted
- commitment of the Board insufficient to raise participation
- future: implementation of horizontal dialogue (Organization 2.0) on limited amount of subjects and related to the concrete work of stakeholders
