Many of our readers have asked us confidentially about strategies to gain Enterprise 2.0 acceptance in the corporation. While every company is different (refer to Moore’s Crossing the Chasm), there are some that more difficult than others. I asked Larry Hawes of Gilbane to help us respond to the requests by answering a few of our questions. He agreed. As more and more companies are exploring Enterprise 2.0 ...
Despite a lackluster economy Enterprise 2.0 has emerged stronger and better prepared for 2010. In fact, most Enterprise 2.0 solution providers saw increased year over year revenue growth. Yet Enterprise 2.0 ROI value is still in question and vendors are not equipped to counter the arguments. Expect vendors to close that gap in 2010. <Click to Enlarge> Sources: Adoption 2.0 – State of Enterprise 2.0 Q4 ...
Admit it you screwed up. They finally caught up to you. One or two times and it may have been forgivable. But twelve people? Are there more? You once were admired for your style, your performance, your polish. You were the star of the show. But now the past has caught up with you. Maybe it's time for a new approach. A reinvention. Can this teach us anything? Maybe you’ve ...
We can’t be everyone’s friend. Dennis Howlett has written another anti-Enterprise 2.0 whopper calling the subject vague and wrapped up in marketing spin. And he’s right. He surfaces a lot of great points that we in the industry need to take note. Although we’d all like to treat him as the enemy I suggest we look to him as the industry’s Devils Advocate. Not the Al Pacino version in the movie with the same title, ...
It’s been quite an event at the Enterprise 2.0 conference this week. Plenty to share with non-attendees. Dr. Wave of Google Wave fame made an appearance, based on customer feedback Enterprise 2.0 is not a crock, and claims that when the recession is over we’ll be working differently due to Enterprise 2.0 solutions. I’ve also had some great discussions with conference attendees over the future of the space. One of the ...
Most executives and managers digest multiple streams of information on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. Tying this information together quickly and acting on it is challenging and the end result is usually an executive or manager that is reacting instead of being proactive. One reason is that the majority of those executives do not have access to real time dashboards. They primarily rely on historical ...
You may have noticed Google’s new search suggestion feature that purportedly makes search recommendations based on what people are searching. I decided to capture a few of the more interesting ones related to our space. There you have it. Now you see what the crowd is thinking. Are you surprised by the results? Thoughts? Other related searches you’ve made with ...
Yesterday was just another busy day. But it wasn’t. For some reason, the Nobel Peace Foundation decided that Brand Obama was the person most responsible for peace in 2009. Whether you like the direction the Obama administration is heading or not, awarding prizes for peace that may or may not happen is plain silly.

Most of us are anticipating the release of Google Wave Beta to the 100,000 or so non-developers on September 30th. I’ve highlighted my concerns on Google Wave in the enterprise, yet I am still very interested in the extensions being built on top of the Wave platform that have potential enterprise utilization. Of the 66 Robots that I reviewed, some looked promising but I also spotted some questionable Robots that didn’t appear to add ...
