Web 2.0 has changed the world from hierarchies and teams ...

What is Social Software, what is a social network? http://youtube.com/watch?v=6a_KF7TYKVc

Because 1.3 BILLION people use the Internet today...

And they all use it in the same way, everybody is participating The web has become ´organic´ and is owned by ´us´

And ´demographic´pressure is increasing By 2016, the number of individuals aged 60-64 in Australia is expected to almost double Source: Beazley, et. al, Continuity Management, Mackay, Alan. “Mature Age Workers: Sustaining Out Future Labor Force.” An Ageless Workforce - Opportunities for Business' Symposium Conference Paper. August 27, 2003. www.ageing.health.gov.au/ofoa/wllplan/aawpapers.htm , Time to act quickly on aging.” The Japan Times Online. August 23, 2002 www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?ed20020823a1.htm , A. Paulli, “Pension systems and gradual retirement in Italy”, September 2000, p.17 , 19% of the entire American workforce holding executive , administrative and managerial positions will retire in the next five years In the year 2000, there were more people receiving pensions in Italy than people working (22 versus 21 million) ‏ Within the next seven years, 33 million people in Japan (26% of the population) will be over 65 years old

Many more interesting examples and thoughts in this report: Web 2.0 and the Corporation, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

The Water Cooler Is Now On The Web “ KPMG set up an alumni network, signing up around 10,000 former and current employees. On the right-hand side, each member has a profile box, just like on Facebook, which they update with photos, information about their job or home life, and a list of contacts. Each member builds a contact list by searching on the service for people who are already signed up or eligible to join. KPMG credits the network with helping it hire 137 former employees, or around 14% of the company's total hires , since the service started, up from 72 people in the three months prior” September 2007

Social Networking: A Time Waster Or The Next Big Thing In Collaboration? “ Hinting at the potential of social networking at work, thousands of employees of Shell Oil, Procter & Gamble, and General Electric have Facebook accounts. A Facebook network of Citigroup employees--only those with Citigroup e-mail accounts can join--has 1,870 users. Procter & Gamble employees use Facebook to keep interns in touch and share information with co-workers” September, 2007

Social Networking: A Time Waster Or The Next Big Thing In Collaboration? “ An InformationWeek Research survey earlier this year found that social networks were used by 48% of companies responding . Uses include viral marketing, recruiting, peer networking, and even emergency coordination and communications” September 2007
