The Enterprise 2.0 Workers’ Dream
Workers know where to put information
They are invited to add value to others’ work
They can find stuff, and get back to it when they need
They are invited to work jointly with others, even beyond the structure of the reporting hierarchy
They can observe the activity of others to learn more about the workings of the company
They use the right tools, effectively, and in accordance to policies
