Enterprise 2.0: A simplistic diagram
Posted on | July 27, 2009 | 1 Comment
Despite it only being Monday morning, my first full week as an independent web analyst and consultant is already looking positive. So far this morning I have confirmed a consultancy contract that will see me become a multi-millionaire (unfortunately in South Korean won rather than British pounds), and sent off an article I was asked to write on the topic of enterprise 2.0. Not only do I enjoy writing (although you wouldn’t always realise it), but articles can provide both a useful method of supplementing a consultant’s income, and advertising his competencies.
Writing on enterprise 2.0 was one of the few occassions I found myself tempted to include a diagram. I didn’t for two reasons: 1) the diagram would have necessarily been an over-simplification; 2) I don’t have an artistic bone in my body. Nonetheless if I had decided to include a diagram it would have looked something like this:
Organisations need to decide the extent they want to use the technologies to create a more open organisation, and the entent they want employees to have freedom to use the technologies as they wish. However somewhere between traditional knowledge management software and the ideals of enterprise 2.0 is a line that if crossed will damage an enterprise. Where this line lies will be different for each organisation. The most successful oranginations will be those that can get as close to the line as possible without crossing it.
