The Verdict is Unanimous
We certainly struck a chord with our post on the concept of notices of employee deaths on the intranet. We heard from nearly a dozen readers.

Every organization I’ve ever worked for claimed to care about its employees. And just about every organization I’ve ever worked for had an employee pass away at some point. That’s why I was especially intrigued by an idea from one of our clients to post notices of employee deaths on their intranet, and allow other employees to post tributes and the like.
If you’ve worked with Greystone.Net, you know we focus on what we term “best practices.” The theory is that what’s getting the best results is worth replicating (okay, copying, but that sounds so sordid).
The difference is the number of people who can see it. That’s why I was interested in the news from NewYork-Presbyterian. They are piloting a project that will feed a patient’s medical record into Microsoft’s Health Vault, while still giving the patient control to add or edit content. It’s called MyNYP.
Sometimes you find a blog post that you wish you had written. Such is the case with Lisa Welchman’s recent post on Web governance. If you’ve been a Greystone.Net client, you know how fundamental this concept is to our approach. Without effective governance, you are bound to struggle. And without the senior leadership support and buy-in that comes with a sound governance structure, the best strategy in the world may run aground.
