An important part of managing the impact of social media on an organisation is having an effective social media policy for staff. A good policy helps staff understand what they can and can’t do with social media at work, as well as helping protect the organisation against some of the risks of using social media. Written carefully a policy should be an enabler, rather than a hindrance. It should help encourage staff to use social media tools in a way that’s appropriate to their role and help managers have confidence in this use. I’m also a firm believer that a social media policy needs to focus on behaviours, rather than tools. Regular review of policies is, of course, important, but focussing on desirable and undesirable behaviours gives a degree of “future-proofing” for a social media policy.

In the spring of 2005, IBMers used a wiki to create a set of guidelines for all IBMers who wanted to blog. These guidelines aimed to provide helpful, practical advice to protect both IBM bloggers and IBM.

These efforts have broadened the scope of the existing guidelines to include all forms of social computing. Below are the current and official "IBM Social Computing Guidelines," which we review periodically so that they may evolve to reflect emerging technologies and online social tools.
