Enterprise 2.0 elements from dion hinchcliffe’s session

FLATNESSES Freeform tools such as Blogs Wiki’s Micro-blogging Links to people or information : RSS URL/URI Easy access to enterprise 2.0 platform e.g. Open Office Lotus Symphony On-the-fly organization of data ( folksonomy ) e.g.. Digg Del.icio.us Small addressable pieces easily consumable via the web: Web parts mashups Mining patters and user activity e.g.. quickly mine through lists of thousands of pages by progressively applying tags Discoverability of information (keyword search) e.g.. Google, Share point enterprise search Non- hierarchial and transparent information exchange e.g.. Facebook, IBM Connect my site Something complex arising out of relatively simple interactions, e.g.. A document is the emergent product of a wiki; an answer is the emergent product of a prediction market. Easy pushing and consumption of changes: RSS or email notifications Alerts

Interesting Facts about Enterprise 2.0 from various sessions and discussions at the conference The Industry Enterprise 2.0 will be $4.3 billion by 2013 Enterprise 2.0 is a bottom’s up approach to driving business KM 2.0 – knowledge management 2.0 (could be considered an offshoot of Enterprise 2.0) is being predicted to be the next big thing The Trends Phone and email usage is on decline People are using and participating in wiki's more than blogs A social network is the new “water cooler” of an enterprise Social networking is being used a great deal in the prediction markets The Adoption Launching an enterprise social network requires investment in a socialization plan. The “we will build it and they will come” attitude doesn’t work. The change management is required but scary The earlier baby boomers (the earlier gen x) are finding it difficult to embrace the concept

The Industry

Enterprise 2.0 will be $4.3 billion by 2013

Enterprise 2.0 is a bottom’s up approach to driving business

KM 2.0 – knowledge management 2.0 (could be considered an offshoot of Enterprise 2.0) is being predicted to be the next big thing

The Trends

Phone and email usage is on decline

People are using and participating in wiki's more than blogs

A social network is the new “water cooler” of an enterprise

Social networking is being used a great deal in the prediction markets

The Adoption

Launching an enterprise social network requires investment in a socialization plan. The “we will build it and they will come” attitude doesn’t work.

The change management is required but scary

The earlier baby boomers (the earlier gen x) are finding it difficult to embrace the concept

Why has enterprise 2.0 not taken over the complete enterprise like a wild fire? Change is difficult and Change Management is tough There is no one size fits all Some people don’t get it We haven't learned as people how to leverage these tools in the right way Management is not sure how to make the new tools working the existing processes as lots of middle managers are not comfortable with the web or these tools Fundamentals of management have to change The range of people in the same company varies from people who grew up without a compute and then there is gen y and the neurological development of their brains are different - mainly this makes a difference in the way they different generations would use the tools or leverage the tools Maybe a lot of people are not ready for it With learning the truth comes the responsibility to something about it

Change is difficult and Change Management is tough

There is no one size fits all

Some people don’t get it

We haven't learned as people how to leverage these tools in the right way

Management is not sure how to make the new tools working the existing processes as lots of middle managers are not comfortable with the web or these tools

Fundamentals of management have to change

The range of people in the same company varies from people who grew up without a compute and then there is gen y and the neurological development of their brains are different - mainly this makes a difference in the way they different generations would use the tools or leverage the tools

Maybe a lot of people are not ready for it

With learning the truth comes the responsibility to something about it

Top Learnings Young people entering the workforce communicate with Web 2.0 tools. They want more than just email . Cloud computing is an easy way to launch a service and scale To innovate , you need to harness the wisdom of your network. First start with your staff and then move to partners and your audience. When you create a collaboration Enterprise 2.0 space, TRUST your audience. Release the desire to control. Don’t control. Even the CIA recommends this. Change management. Adoption requires evangelism and constant reminders and associating Web 2.0 tools with everything you’re doing. Allow people to engage with your company outside of your .com business address . Let them engage with your brand where they already like to go, like Facebook, MySpace, etc. Adoption of most of the social applications such as blogs, Facebook was viral while applications such as wiki’s required some push and policing from the enterprise In huge enterprise its important to have guidelines around how employees use social networking To make social networking acceptable you need to seed it and create incentive around it (Engage power users in pilot to contribute a variety of content and desired information architecture)

In huge enterprise its important to have guidelines around how employees use social networking

To make social networking acceptable you need to seed it and create incentive around it (Engage power users in pilot to contribute a variety of content and desired information architecture)

Takeaways from a DD perspective Wiki’s are a great “across time zones” collaboration tool and accepted more widely than blogs Social tools are a culture change in every company and change management is very important No policing of content posted by employees makes adoption easier (but security becomes a concern ) Wikis, blogs, micro-blogging, tagging and podcasts are not new anymore – everyone uses them There is a lot happening within Microsoft in this space SharePoint One note Office labs The enterprise 2.0 solutions help us tackle the areas of Collaboration TRUST Attracting and retaining talent And a lot more There are lots of cool tools and technologies out there (similar to what we are already thinking about) that we could learn from Hoovers Connect takes a deeper look at relationships between people within a company via outlook and webmail Micro-blogging generating status reports Small videos and podcasts enabling social learning/training

Social Project Management from Leisa Reichelt presentation ( http://www.liquidplanner.com/blog/2008/06/23/social-project-management-in-large-projects ) Small teams: a developer, a designer and a sweeper. Made up of smart, motivated people. Limited planning. Non-essential documentation and highly detailed specification are dispensed with. Sketching and agreement on fundamentals are the focus. Minimal scope: Less is more. Build less. Multi-skilled teams: Look for people with multi-disciplinary skills. Fast pace: Speed is essential to produce results within a limited budget. Rapid release: Take it out to the community quickly and ask them to participate in alpha and beta testing. Feedback: End user feedback is sought to refine the product. Responsiveness: Speed and close contact with users leads to quick reaction to feedback. Iteration: Constant change.

Wachovia’s biz rationale for deploying social networking tools Work more effectively across time and distance - Took travel budget to finance this social networking effort. Better connect and engage employees - Traditionally had company sports leagues to connect with each other. They realized the virtual relationships on social networks are as real as the relationships you create on the softball team or the company picnic. Mitigate the impact of a maturing workforce - As people get older and retire or simply leave the company, there’s a loss of knowledge assets. Social networking tools like wikis can capture that wisdom. Engage the Gen Y worker - They come to their company with engagement off the scale. Social networking is the way they communicate in their personal lives. They’ve grown up in flat worlds, playing games with people around the world. When they start experiencing friction in the workplace that doesn’t allow them to communicate in their way, they drop off their engagement. Their world is a combination of fact and opinion, plus their participation. They need a voice. They need an outlet. Position Wachovia as innovative and forward thinking Lift general employee engagement Reduce travel expenses Provide employees world-class tools with which to compete for business Support other key corporate initiatives like going paperless.
