Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Study Good Sign for Social Computing in PLM - PLM and Profitability | Blog on Manufacturing Business Technology
o what does this mean for manufacturers? As much as I would love to jump to the conclusion that social computing is booming, I interpret this differently. I see this as:
Manufacturers are very interested in social computing
The early adopters are hard at work figuring it out
Progress has been cautious (for the most part)
My beliefs on how manufacturers will adopt social computing in product development has not changed:
Most manufacturers will start with the low-hanging fruit of improving collaboration, and most will start internally
Manufacturers will be more likely to adopt social computing techniques when they are incorporated into applications they trust such as PLM, which will protect their intellectual property (IP)
There will be significant value gained by those manufacturers that adopt social computing to improve product innovation, product development, and engineering performance

Implementing Enterprise 2.0 at Booz Allen: Part Three – Operational Impact
First, the technology was designed to reflect the way the firm worked. It an become the glue that brings people, content, and data together.
Second, it changed the concept of who owns intellectual capital. Knowledge is power transforming into the concept that sharing knowledge is power.
Third, there is also a greater sense of individual responsibility as people are better empowered to manage their identity in the firm and their career development. So the firm is now more global, and at the same time, more of a collection of empowered individuals rather than a collection of partially siloed teams.
Hello has helped bridge the geographic divide of staff located in more than100 US offices and client sites, building relationships and fostering collaboration across teams. Stronger staff relationships yield stronger clients solutions and lead to growth in business. The People Profiles discussed in the first post are one driver of this change.
The rise in importance of communities versus formal organizational structure is another key change. Building this feature has been central to transferring knowledge and expertise, generating new intellectual capital, and creating relationships supportive of cohesive project teams.
The Booz Allen experience does show that new technology can change the way people work as long as it is done right. Paradoxically, if the technology is aligned to the way people work, it is more likely to successfully change they way the work and gain their commitment to this change.
