For my organization, I recently contributed two projects. The first was a training outline to be used by trainers which was really well recieved with a "really, really great work" comment.
The second was not as well recieved. It was a proposal to use Theory Maps (https://sites.google.com/site/eme6403bryanandbrian/home/what-is-the-tools) for leadership to solve logistical problems. I was able to use the FSU virtual library to find an article (Brzycki & Dudt) and analyze how to make the Web 2.0 software more accessible. I believe the software is a Low Threshold Application, thus addressing the issues of time, support, and cost (it's free). In our next meeting, as per a suggestion in the article, I'm going to model it for everyone to show how easy it is and how effective it can be in solving problems.
