While brainstorming about our class discussion and thinking about different communication tactics, I decided it would be best to blog about it and get my ideas out there.
There are so many great different ways to get your clients involved in the company. I loved the example that Harvey gave with the Nike shoe example and letting people design there own shoe. They feel like they have control over a huge corporation.
I wish there was something this easy to use with Flint Hills Community Health Clinic but, there is not for several reasons. 1. a Health org. is limited on what it can involve people with b/c of privacy and health code reasons. 2. FHCC does not have all the money in the world to come up with cool, new, creative ideas.
I think something small they can do is get a website, so that people can interact. Also something simple like filling out a survey when people come in can make them feel like they have a change. Unless people are coming into the clinic it is hard to get them involved because you don’t know EXACTLY who your clients are on a consistent basis.

That is all the ideas I have for now, hopefully I can do some more on line research and maybe add more to my blog later.
