I know – this story illustrates opening internal corporate communications, which could easily be achieved without Web 2 0 tools. Thanks all. :long:

if companies are already using E 1.0, then it would not be hard for them to migrate to E 2.0. business managers might be lacking experience and efficiency, but they must realize that they can get the right info at the right time. they just need to realize that E 2.0 allows them access to several collective intelligence which saves time and increases productivity

That’s a great story – and in so many organizations, that could’ve been a very powerful story of failure, with a different outcome.

Definitely agree that culture is important, as so many of the commenters have pointed out.

More explicitly though, I have data to back it up – in the AIIM Market IQ on Enterprise 2.0 ( http://www.aiim.org/enterprise20 ), we asked a battery of questions of the 441 respondents to the survey, to explicitly look at issues of knowledge-sharing cultures, incentivization, where ideas come from and who executes upon them, etc.. Those answers were used to calculate whether a respondent passed a threshold that would make their organization “knowledge-inclined.”

Based on that cut, we compared the “knowledge-inclined” group versus the general population of the survey, and found that adoption was faster, success was more likely, and that overall, Enterprise 2.0 was far more reality than in the “typical” organization.

Mind you, it’s still not the case (and won’t be for many years) that Enterprise 2.0 is a resounding success and that there is no potential for failure or cause for a cautious approach, but with a suitable environment (including yes, support from the top AS WELL AS participation from the bottom), success is much more likely.

For those who haven’t already downloaded the AIIM Market IQ on Enterprise 2.0 ( http://www.aiim.org/enterprise20 ) – it’s a free download, so have at it. Over 1,000 people have downloaded it thus far.

We’ll also be presenting a much abbreviated set of findings at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston in June, and for anyone who will be at the conference, I’d love to meet up in person and discuss this topic at length.

Cheers,
Dan

i agree that there has to be a culture change for enterprises to use web2.0. I read a recent article that today’s enterprises aren’t even realizing the full power of collaboration tools using technologies like facebook. The article goes on to say that facebook and many other social media sites are implementing collaborative features much faster then enterprises can even review some of the “older” functions like blogs, Wikis ….sorry…but i cannot remember where i read the article.

In my opinion, web 2.0 is about a paradigm shift. Ultimately, enterprises cannot ignore it totally. But rather think how to control this web2.0 beast!
We know that somehow the lack of control and security is what most companies are concerned abt. If these concerns can be addressed – maybe web3.0, 4.0 , etc…then its adoption can further be rocketed.

I don’t think this scenario would have played out as positively without E2.0. A subtle but significant difference is that the “conversation” between the CEO and the low-level marketing manager located in a satellite office essentially took place in front of the entire organization. This would not have occurred in email because no underling would respond to every person in an organization (or even be allowed). With an open door policy the conversation would most likely be private, if even attempted (due the geographic separation). The public nature of the conversation changed everything. Such a medium has the potential to break down silos in large organizations, preserve knowledge better, encourage participation and perspective, and allow management to “factor in news from the periphery” (Only the Paranoid Survive, p. 110) among other things.

However, I think this story worked so well because there were only a few management blogs and probably only a few responses. The “new” factor probably caught more eyes than usual and there weren’t as many postings to sift through, resulting in less noise and more meat.

The actual benefits will depend on people at all levels of the organization doing more sharing than whatever they are doing now.
