Our Enterprise 2.0 Panel: 90% people and 10% technology

Yesterday I was part of a panel at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference. It was titled, 90% people and 10% technology organized by Jessica Lipnack and Jeffrey Stamps of NetAge, Inc. Here is a link to my discussion, A Story on User Generated Content within the Firewall (and what does it say about implementing transparency). Here are a few summaries from participants.

Perhaps could we think that collaborative work looks like a Web2.0 attitude in everyday work. This could be implemented in respect of old and new habits of e-Working in an international environment. I could say that people attitude makes things easier to implement that's why I totally agree with 90% people and 10% technology.

To know more about collaborative work:

Hi --

Thanks for your post.

This sort of remark is a red herring. It is an old saw.

It was good to mention the big elephant-in-the-room specifically, "...the investment patterns generally still run exactly the opposite by these same people."

Please, they say, "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity."

Silly, under-financed enterprise aphorisms like, "...90% people and 10% technology..." make me wince. They are useless without specific steps to evolve the thinking, investment, methods and techniques.

Enterprise incumbents will never balance this formula until it makes economic and business sense. 'Co-evolution of Value' is the current thinking and robust methods like value networks, that master intangibles, are the current and future methods. Value networks are all open content, open source.
