I'm not so sure. You can anonymise the data and it wouldn't effect the intended result. The whole premise is to track relationships between _departments_ so the actual identities in question matter less.
You just want to try to prevent a "them" and "us" culture.
To provide a software analogy you want the platform group to be friends with the application group and enjoy working together. I've experienced a split myself where one team would just blame the other team for the problems in the final solution and it isn't productive.
- MicahWedemeyer 16y agoMy point is just that it seems creepy. No matter what protections and anonymizing is going on, the described implementation would elicit a very negative emotional response from me.
- catch23 16y agoIt's not actually as creepy as it sounds. It's almost like a game, and employees would try hard to score well on it.
- nocman 16y agoI agree with MicahWedemeyer -- it's creepy. I went from being very impressed by Hsieh's article to being completely creeped out in the last two paragraphs (and being glad that I'm not his employee). I fully understand the desire to have employees interacting across departments, but this IMHO this is a terrible way to try to acheive that.
- MicahWedemeyer 16y agoDo you work there? I'd be very curious to hear from someone on the inside, as it could be that my impression is way off.
