A knowledge community at Hallmark

Some things in this article really stuck out to me that I would like to further discuss. The first thing is that stories and innovations are allowed to come from anywhere within the community. They are not just limited to managers or people who are higher up in the business. I really like this since of "community" and that EVERYONE is involved because that can get drowned out in many companies.

Communication is important in a community because the more that people are open with each other and talking to everybody the more likely new knowledge and idea will come about. If no one talks there will never be new ideas born.
In my opinion stimulating innovation is a very important basis of a community. Include everyone, encourage everyone and value their opinions and in response you will have lots and lots of new ideas!
