Enterprise 2.0 Technologies Can Help Your Organization Better Compete in Today’s Market
Are you gearing up to implement the new wave of Social Computer applications in an effective, productive, and non-disruptive way within your organization? Enterprise 2.0 will help you and your organization begin to map a clear path through the hype.
Enterprise 2.0, defined by industry leaders such as Harvard’s Andrew McAfee, represents the next coming wave social computing applications and can be defined as freeform, emergent, social Web applications that can bring the power and effectiveness of Web 2.0 techniques to life inside your organization. Just when IT is being held increasingly accountable for business-focused results, Enterprise 2.0 can give IT the potent new tools for end-users success. Enterprise 2.0 enables organizations to apply general-purpose collaborative tools in innovative new ways to solve both long-term and just-in-time business problems more cost-effectively.
– Gartner
Social computing technologies such as blogs and wikis are just the beginning of the story. Enterprise 2.0 has the potential to unleash the power of network effects, mass participation, and emergent business solutions. The result is the capture of organizational knowledge in a more public, discoverable fashion via an enterprise search, which is enabled by the link structure of Enterprise 2.0 Web applications. This is just one of several beneficial outcomes.
Winning with Enterprise 2.0 requires a clear understanding of the critical success factors. As rewarding as Enterprise 2.0 has the potential to be, there are several technical and organizational challenges that exist and can effectively bar some organizations from accessing its potential if not properly managed. Adopters of Enterprise 2.0 techniques must define internal Enterprise 2.0 standards, oversee compliance to industry and governmental regulations, protect the privacy of participants, and secure the organization’s information, all while successfully encouraging workers to move to these new tools.
Ultimately, the core challenge for an Enterprise 2.0 initiative is to transform the culture of an organization to use fewer non-social software tools, openly sharing more business information, and be knowledgeable about and effective in consuming worker-generated content. This must all be accomplished while still maintaining minimal disruption to business activities.
