Enterprise 2.0 and Busciety 2.0
After a brief time away I want to follow-up on a couple of items ....
Andrew Mcafee and Tom Davenport had their Enterprise 2.0 debate and they both came out winners. You can read Andrew's post about the debate or view the debate here.
The Enterprise 2.0.conference was held in June and unfortunately I could not attend and until last week, I had little time for reading or listening. However, I found a great link at the Collaborative Thinking blog that lists all of the Enterprise 2.0 keynotes and enables folks to view, listen, or read material from each keynote.As I get caught up on my reading, I have really enjoyed reading Susan Scrupski and her blog ITSinsider. One post in particular that I really enjoyed and related to was this post .... "A Year's Summary of Personal Reflection "
Here is sampling .....
"In the wink of an eye, the "get-its" got it and the resistors didn't. It was a little scary this year for me. The old schoolers wanted to cling to their power base regardless of where that power emanated from. The range of dissent covered enterprise application vendors, high-priced gurus, consultants who catered to the IT department, traditional IT analysts and editors, old school research houses and publishers, and sometimes even users who just didn't want to bother to learn something new and really weren't even protecting a power base. But as the light bulbs went off around me, and I witnessed the viral adoption of how liberating web 2.0, emergent, user-driven collaboration took off in the communities where I participated and in the blogosphere… it was exhilarating .......
For those who are "left behind," I imagine there will be gnashing of teeth when all data on the planet finally transcends up into the cloud in the final days. Not because they'll miss the data, they'll miss the community. We may be a reckless, rumpled and disorderly group, but we share a common vision about information-its ownership and the right to access it. More importantly, we're all connected in the blogosphere. "
And Susan identifies another term "Busciety 2.0" that could compete with Enterprise 2.0. By Susan's definition, Busciety 2.0 is a mashup of Business with Society. "Business is mashing up with society at a fast and furious pace as social media networking and blogging continues to blur the lines between people and their professions" to read the complete post, follow this link ..... "
Watch our Enterprise 2.0, you now have to compete with Busciety 2.0.
Hey Kevin. Thanks so much for the reference to the personal tome... I have been feeling somewhat awkward about that piece because I didn't get any comments, really, on it. I kind of let myself hang out there... Thanks for reading! I'm surprised you liked it because it wasn't especially kind to traditional IT, but you seem like a renaissance IT guy... yes?
