The move by Cisco HR to dump bell curve and move to collaborative reviews is - very bold, and very very welcome to me.

I am a strong believer in social technologies; and unless we reward and review (team to team!) teamwork over individual performance, individual brilliance will dominate over team culture.

In some ways I envy Cisco - you have all the collaborative technologies; and now you have a decision right at the top. Great move.

How do you collaborate inside the org? Do you folks use emails still, or is there a different collaboration platform? Or is it a mix of technologies?
