In a business world where change is constant, knowledge becomes an essential asset for any organization. Survival and growth require the development of solutions that will optimize collaboration and knowledge management.
Focussing on this topic we recently produced our first whitepaper. It analyses the benefits associated with the introduction of Enterprise 2.0 solutions, and positions the collaborative management of knowledge as a stable and lasting solution, especially in these times of economic tumult.

One theme persistantly comes up whenever I talk social media, either inside my workplace or outside. This is “culture change.” When talking about catalyzing adoption of social media within the enterprise, at some point, someone will predictably say something like, “the most important thing is to get the culture to change.” Framing social media adoption in these terms is basically a show-stopper, because it means you’ve trotted out a reassuring phrase that allows you to view yourself as a visionary, others as obdurate idiots, and gives you something abstract to blame when (not if) your initiative fails.

I’ve been back reading through blogs, presentations, articles, tweets and well just about every thing I can manage over the last week to resolve questions in my head as to why so many Social Media “Experts” or “Gurus” seem to think of social media as breaking down walled gardens (silos) and destroying hierarchies inherent in much of culture, business and online systems – and that this is a good thing or indeed what is actually happening?

Interesting conversation last week last week on twitter with Hutch Carpenter and Gil Yehuda about how long Enterprise 2.0 adoption takes. This question is a real concern for many enterprises and, even if there’s no mathematical formula to help them to find an answer, maybe we can gather a few elements that may explain the mechanisms that make things happen more or less quickly.

I get calls from all types of organizations seeking guidance on their path to Enterprise 2.0 success. Sometimes I’m just in awe of the great ideas and clever tactics they ask about. And sometimes I have to hide my emotion as they explain the challenge they face. I’ll share one such tidbit — of course with fake names.

The last couple of years I have had many conversations with a broad selection of mid-sized to large organizations. Some of these are customers of mine or potential customers while others are conversations I have had, but all having the similar discussion about social tools in the enterprise. What follows is a collection of snippets from those conversations regarding Microsoft SharePoint 2007, most are not publicly attributed as they were not intended to be “on the record”.

Björn is asking what the Return on Investment of Collaboration is and writes up some neat (and programmatic) questions to systematize the discussion.
Like him I notice that Enterprise 2.0 discussions fall back to the topic of ROI quite often, seen this many times before and again at the Cologne Enterprise 2.0 FORUM. So trying and exploring the subline of the upcoming Enterprise 2.0 SUMMIT (”Improving Collaborative Performance”) with these questions is a good idea. I won’t dive into all of them now, let’s look at number one first and take a first stab at why it’s collaborative performance we’re after.

A great ZDNet article from Oliver Marks on the platform behind the Knowledge Heroes.
“Knowledge Plaza is a relatively new offering in the enterprise collaboration space and offers a very sophisticated set of tools aimed primarily at knowledge workers, and whose development has been influenced by a very large international consulting company.
This product is essentially a seriously powerful and secure hub around which you can aggregate both internally created and stored content, as well as material from the entire internet, which can be tagged and contextually store.”

Most enterprises actually have a fair number of compelling options right now if they are willing to think outside the box. While some might look at the social aspects of things like Web 2.0 as marginal subjects when things get tough, nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to the deeper implications of Web 2.0 in the enterprise.

At each stage in its extraordinary development, the internet has encountered scepticism and resistance in boardrooms. Alarms have greeted each internet-based technology: would it distract employees or, worse, create unacceptable risks?
Over time, internet tools have been accommodated and have delivered huge benefits. But the same questions are now being asked about the latest generation of internet technologies, such as social networking tools.
