Enterprise 2.0 is indeed coming and coming fast. Large corporations are going to be hit hardest due to the very structure that makes them large. I do think they will still be able to get top talent though because they can just throw money around and entice people that way. Is that a long term solution? No.

Colleges and universities are going to make the change pretty easily, but I am scared to death for K-12 education. The education needs to start there and I have a feeling that it will be the last place for it to start.

I seem to think that enterprise 2.0 is about collaboration taken to a different level with the use of new technologies.

Maybe I don’t get it at all.

Web 2.0 Enterprise 2.0 Travel 2.0 …

I find it absolutely astonishing that so much of the 2.0 discussion is about who coined the definition, when what it is all about is the social aspects, and bottom up organization.

Clearly the paradigm has not shifted and we continue to discuss in a 1.0 fashion, top down with the expert dictating from the top.

I am a firm believer that the expert is to be on tab not on top. Being on tab means available if needed, and this sure will create system and organization change that are much more likely to succeed.

Andrew, the respect is mutual. Two reasons why I (and likely MR) want to extend the defintion

a) a bit of “those who ignore history …” – so much needs to be fixed with current state of enterprise software that the next gen cannot pretend it can just adopt the biz model, distribution channel etc.

b) Individuals matter – did not need Time magazine to make “us” Person of year. But the reality in many (most?) enterprises is sensors and devices now generate 70 to 90% of most information flow. I would like to see the growing focus on social human networking balanced with the need for a holistic approach to information flows and usage.

Look forward to more debates in the coming year.

I don’t think you should feel apologetic at all about this preference! While technologies may plan an enabling role or be a by-product of “revolutions,” reolutionary change is almost always about people (”macro engines” weren’t revolution–end user development has been). Your definition of E2.0 is interesting, IMO, because puts any given (or not yet realized!) technology into the context of what new (or newly feasible) modes of collaboration / sharing they enable…
