To run through the core areas of value and of risk, the issue of risk is more prominent in executives’ minds than the business benefits. And because the risks are not clearly understood, these tend to be inflated and given more impact than they should be. But many of the risks, which can be very real, are also on the business side, not just on the technology side. I think there’s a minority of issues that are purely technological around implementation of the tools. "There are, very crudely, three categories of information: proprietary, which you maintain inside your organization; there’s some that you share with trusted business partners, clients, suppliers or alliance members; and there information that you actively disseminate to the public at large. And it’s not always immediately clear into which category information falls."

  • In many ways, it won’t be. That’s one of the things that’s not well understood. That fact is that most, if not all the issues related to these technologies, are addressed by existing policies. In some cases, though, those policies have not been developed with the detail in which the issues from these new technologies are fully addressed.
  • I think some forms of pilots are appropriate. You set up pilots likely to succeed, likely to add value, that allow you to move on to a broader scope. But you must also have a very high tolerance for failure or that pilots are not succeeding as planned.

    • Hall: If your company is developing a policy for wikis, blogs and other Web. 2.0 tools, how would that policy be any different than the policy you have for instant messaging, e-mail, that sort of thing?
