    8. Recruitment, development and evaluation procedures provide an opportunity to review and reward collaborative working and knowledge exchange.

    Unless you can score at least six then your business is going to have to work very hard to get the best out of Enterprise 2.0 applications.
  • The 'return channel' to a request for help published on the intranet is rarely the intranet itself, but instead is a telephone call or an e-mail. This tends to inhibit connectivity. With a blog or a wiki, information can be added instantly to the web page and that is certainly an attractive feature of these web technologies.
  • 3 more annotations...
  • • Without effective search, wikis become information black holes, and search costs money even if the wiki software is a free open source application.
    • Many companies already have a range of collaboration applications, including portals, e-rooms and discussion forums, but rarely any strategy about how these are going to be linked together and managed for the good of the enterprise.
    • 1. Start with just one or two projects and be patient in ensuring that these have an impact before moving forward with more projects.
      
      
      
      
      
      2. There must be a clear business requirement and some metric that can be used to evaluate the outcomes of the pilot trials.
      
      
      
      
      
      3. Don't try and change corporate culture with technology but pick areas that are ready to try a different approach.
      
      
      
      
      
      4. Each pilot trial should have a sponsor at a level senior enough to push on with the project against the inevitable sceptical comments.
      
      
      
      
      
      5. Publicise all the outcomes as widely as possible across the business.
      
      
      
      
      
      6. Be prepared for failure and learn from it.
      
      
      
      
      
      7. Be prepared for success by having the next set of projects already mapped out.

  There is a lot of interest at the present time in the role that Enterprise 2.0 web applications can play in enhancing business performance. A recent global survey by McKinsey indicated that after an initial period of promise and trial, companies are now c

  All the evidence points to a number of critical success factors in capitalising on Enterprise 2.0 applications. These include:
  
  1. Start with just one or two projects and be patient in ensuring that these have an impact before moving forward with more projects.
  
  2. There must be a clear business requirement and some metric that can be used to evaluate the outcomes of the pilot trials.
  
  3. Don't try and change corporate culture with technology but pick areas that are ready to try a different approach.
  
  4. Each pilot trial should have a sponsor at a level senior enough to push on with the project against the inevitable sceptical comments.
