Transforming the Enterprise

My first post on the FAST Forward blog was Will Enterprise Web 2.0 totally transform enterprise knowledge management? I won’t repeat it here but there were some good comments so I thought I would alert you on what others were saying on the topic. I wrote about the large change management effort required to get most people in today’s large organizations get used the transparency of enterprise 2.0.

Jevon MacDonald pointed to a post on some of the issues in From Inside to Outside: How do new organizations work? and referred to a book with right title, Trusted Space, with Robert Patterson. enterprise 2.0

Puneet Gupta, commented on the possibilities of social bookmarking as a useful component of a knowledge management system. Tom Mandel linked to a discussion by Robert Scoble on the topic.

Indus Khaitan commented on the post, “The aspects are definitely human; it requires evangelization in from of the CIO, or the Knowledge Officer. In corporations we’re still seeing initiatives around traditional Content Management System which give us nothing more than a “static intranet”. This is because the executive leadership does not see a visible ROI around “Writable Intranet.” His comments and those of Euan Semple (see below) prompted me to write, DIY KM and Recruitment.

Euan Semple’s, post on the FAST Foreward blog, Ten questions companies SHOULD be asking themselves about Enterprise 2.0 was written from the employees who get the needed changes. He followed it up with Business as usual? about some of the obstacles to implementing enterporise 2.0.

Here was a nice review of the FAST blog from IWR. enterprise social media
