You have set up an internal newsletter in your company. This newsletter informs your employees about the latest news from the company, but also about its internal life. What if you used your internal newsletter to further unleash the collective intelligence?

Use your internal newsletter to disseminate feedback

Feedback is a very useful format for circulating knowledge and skills in an organisation. For example, in each newsletter, you can ask an employee to tell a recent success story. This interview can take several forms: written directly in the newsletter, video, or a link to an article on your intranet or your collective intelligence platform.

Circulate good practices

Your internal newsletter will gain in popularity if it contains information that really helps your employees. And what could be more useful than a good practice tested and approved by colleagues? Sharing good practices is indeed a very good way to make your internal newsletter even more attractive. Here again, you can give it several forms: a good practice written directly in the body of your newsletter, a short video, or a redirection to a mini-MOOC explaining this good practice!

And to collect good practices to be included in your newsletter, opt for an idea box or a platform atcollaborative innovation and encourage your employees to propose "good practice" ideas.

Promote ideas that need support

If your organisation already has acollaborative innovation If your organisation already has a system in place to encourage staff to come up with new ideas, it's easy. Identify ideas that you think are relevant, but not necessarily popular. Then give them visibility by highlighting them in your internal newsletter! Maybe this promotion will lead to new project teams!

And even if your organisation does not have a formalcollaborative innovation system, keep an eye (and an ear!) out for new ideas. Is a project being launched? An idea has been identified? Now is the time to talk about it!
