Thought I’d follow up to yesterday’s note about organizations shifting to Web 2.0 technologies (often called Enterprise 2.0). As this note so elegantly puts it, it’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Eventually, Enterprise 2.0 will be a reality in your organization, and it’s better to start thinking and planning for that than sticking your head in the sand.
I think the biggest obstacle, as I pointed out yesterday, is getting over the fear of wasting time and resources on potentially low-return projects. But on the other hand, it’s possible these projects turn into a major boon for an organization. You never know till you try, and you might as well start trying.
