Hi Andrew, Just saw the 'stump' speech at MES West… I guess it all felt very familiar, but then I work for a tech company that already does everything you discussed. Have you had feedback from companies that after listening to you they had some kind of lightbulb moment that shifted them in the direction of Enterprise 2.0? Either way, looking forward to following your insight going forward.

Compliments of the season, First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine attention considering the facts that we have not met each other before. I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you.

I am Esther torwudjor from Darfur, Sudan. I write to inform you of our desire to invest in your country. I am the second son of Johnson torwudjor he was a diamond merchant in my country, my father was attacked by rebels on his way to the capital city Khartoum along with my elder brother, my brother died on the spot while U.N Peace Keeping Force rescued my father, he was rush to a nearby hospital for medical treatment but he later died.

Before he died he revealed to me and my mother about a WILL stating the deposit of TRUNK BOXES he deposited with a security company in Accra, Ghana, in favor of my mother, one of the TRUNK BOXES contained ($6,500,000 US DOLLAR) and the other Diamond and Gold Dust, it was kept there by my late father for safe keeping, now my self and my mother have written to the security company in Ghana notifying them for the claim of the TRUNK BOXES.

Note here that the trunk boxes were deposited with the security company as family valuable; as such they did not know the trunk boxes contained money.

My intention of writing you is to present you to the security company as my late father business associate and you will stand as her foreign Manager/Investor to whom the USD6.5 million should be released to for onward investment purposes because she had been a full time Housewife all through her married life and as such has no experience in financial management matters.
From the discussions I held with her, I discovered that my mother is interested in buying a good house to live with me abroad. Under this circumstances I deem it fit that you can be of assistance to us, because I have the believe you can capably handle this transaction without any mistake as this is the only hope we have left in this world, looking forward to your prompt reply.

For your mutual assistance, my mother and I have agreed to offer you 20% of the total amount of the money. We have all the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership, which I can send to you through, fax or email on request.

Note: I have never disclosed this to any person apart from you, so you have to keep this transaction as a top secret to yourself alone. I will want you to forward across to me your direct tel/fax number for more information about this transaction. At the moment I and my mother are in a refugee camp in Accra Ghana.

Thanks and God bless you,

Hi Andrew,

I just read your article in this month's HBR. I wanted to thank you for giving voice to the concerns that I have to address as the technical lead on an Enterprise 2.0 project. You have given me several insights as well for things that I should be on the look out for. Thank you.

arielnotcovich November 25, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Hi Andy,
I just received the latest HBR. It fell on my hands at the right time. I'm pushing to implement 2.0 approach on my organization. Facing a lot of ignorance and resistance. I deeply believe on the power of the new ways to accelerate innovation and create better communication. How to help my organization to digest the change? We are piloting a prototype “Social” platform for my R&D group. How to engage and facilitate adoption and usage?

Thanks for sharing so much through this site. You really do seem to bring home exactly how technology advances bring about change (both positive and negative) in various business environments as a whole. I've come across some other resources that hint at the same thing, but not in such a concrete way. I saw your book was in stock at Amazon and I'm adding it to my wish list. (everyone knows to buy me books for Christmas).

I share your interest in “Enterprise 2.0″. I would be very interested in reading an academic paper based on your research.

Bill, hello. I don't know of good work on how religious organizations are using technology — does anyone else know anything about this?

mmorley March 16, 2010 at 8:58 am

Andrew – Met you at the Gartner event. Great presentation. Our conversation was along the lines of once an organization decides to reinvent itself and provide all kinds of new culture shaping tools and user interfaces, how does it prepare itself? how does it sustain the adoption? The company I work for provides a global platform that enables an organization to transform itself within months as opposed to years. CEO's love the time to value in my model. The problem is the organization and CEO for that matter need special coaching we (my company) simply don't provide. Are you aware of companies or individuals that specialize this type of organizational consulting?

Just participated in your presentation hosted by Awareness. Very thoughtful, very helpful. I'd love to host a dinner for thought leaders in Milwaukee featuring you and your presentation. If you'd be interested in doing this sometime, perhaps in connection with a trip to Chicago, please contact me. Thanks again for sharing your insights.

Looks like a good blog to stay and learn by getting information.

Jean-Michel Paris July 8, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Andrew,
I am replying here to your recent Forbes Commentary (Why Geeks Hate the iPad) wit a view to minimize abusive commercial use of my email address.

While not in disagreement with your view of the situation, I believe that what currently worries and enrages geeks the most, is their increasing awareness of the rapidly progressing demise of so many of the “big sleepy incumbents” which have been their source of ill conceived, half baked, buggy and deficient hardware and software they could hack to their hearts content to inflict ridicule to their makers.

Ellen M Kowalczyk August 3, 2010 at 12:54 pm

I just read your Commentary in Forbes on “Rising Above Tech's Temptations.” It was excellent.

Singhmaharaj August 12, 2010 at 7:25 am

I was among the first person to get the copy of the book “Enterprise 2.0″ . I have been using few of the technologies described in the book but never thought that it is possible to use them at organizational level.

I have studied, worked and lived in China, SE Asia and India. I have been trying to find answer to one question: Will the Enterprise 2.0 technologies be accepted by organizations in Asia, where organizational hierarchy matters a lot. It is considered negative to even put forth your views if they do not match with what your superiors think. In such environment how such technologies can be implemented, how successful will it be if implemented and what would be the consequences? I am really interested to know answers to these questions. If you have covered these questions in your research please share the thoughts. If you have not touched these topics; I would personally want to work on them.

My email is singhmaharaj@gmail.com

Thanks
Maharaj
