Phil Wolff has lots of ideas on how to enable non-writers to engage in and benefit from blog-like activity. He has grouped them in three general areas: Capture experiences and thoughts differently, Prompt with Structure, and Enterprise system streaming.

Definitely worth checking out.

We are in the process of designing a new intranet for our office and one of things I want to explore is creating a blog-like view (reverse chronological order) of activities, documents, meetings, etc. so that an employee can capture a history of their work even if they are not a strong writer. This would be in addition to the normal writing of entries. Phil’s stuff provides a lot of possibilities to explore.

I’ll be posting more information here for feedback as we get a design fleshed out.
