It is presented by the head of learning and is vendor-pitch free. http://theotherthomasotter.wordpress.com/2006/11/17/bbcs-nigel-paine-on-podcasting-wikis-and-blogs/ Andrew,

By no means is Enterprise 2.0 only about wikis (besides, wikis have been around for 10 years, before there was an "Enterprise 2.0"), I think that's just a reflection of (1) who's reading Andrew's blogs :) and (2) where many demonstrable successes have come from. At Office 2.0, it seemed like there was way more attention paid to wikis than to other Enterprise 2.0 apps. I'm not sure why that was. Again, maybe it's a reflection of where there have been some successes. To David’s point (on 11/2) — yeah, the vendors are interested… because we have a story to tell.

Foster and Kaplan wrote a book on it in 2001. Drucker emphasized dialogue, an effective form of Creative Destruction, as a powerful means for Knowledge Management way back in 1988 in his 'Coming of the New Organization'. Peter Senge called attention to dialogue in the mid 90s for creating the learning organization in his 'The Fifth Discipline'. But the problem was and is creaton of an enterprise wide means for constructive dialogue on each event with the proper securty in place. Collaboration as practiced today is discussion and not dialogue. Discussion is not Creative Destruction. The critical hurdle is an end-to-end process for collaboration. Until this is created organizations will be impaling themselves in pursuing Creative Destruction with IT. The process automation approach favoured by IT has reached a dead end since it regards an end-to-end process as inconceivable. This still leaves room for exploring teamwork patterns. Based on my R&D I can confirm that the effort in this direction is very rewarding. Creative Destruction is conceptually very appealing. Foster and Kaplan wrote a book on it in 2001.

I think that this is a great idea. There are a ton of questions regarding Enterprise 2.0 and Enterprise Web 2.0. What is extremely interesting is how many companies who deliver a wikis believe that is what Enterprise 2.0 is about. Delivering a web application is nothing new and can cause more issues than benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth. In a real company or organization, “real-world” IT departments need to figure out how to integrate many of their legacy and back-end systems to take advantage of these new technologies. I am interested to find out what these vendors do for SAP, Oracle and mainframe data and applications? Do they provide an integration tool for exposing these as web services and then providing an orchestration tool or mashup tool? I am really asking these questions of companies and vendors. This is not a test or a marketing issue. There are clearly at least two facets of “real” IT that needs to be addressed. Using legacy applications in Enterprise 2.0 world and using new web applications for collaboration. Do these need to be separate? Can a company create a strategy and get a product or solution that allows them to use legacy information and data and create a collaboration portal? The answer is yes - not through individual web applications - through a web services infrastructure.
