The year of the shift to Enterprise 2.0
As depicted in the figure above, which lays out the spectrum of most enterprise knowledge creation and flow today, important new channels have been added to the corporate mix in recent years. Channels that are just starting to be used. Blogs, wikis, and activity streams (those event lists in apps like Facebook and Twitter that tell you what’s happening in near real-time) in particular are changing how knowledge workers express themselves and work with each other. The intrinsic design of these tools creates much more of a usable, accessible information ecosystem than traditional tools. These traditional tools can create powerful, local information flows but little build-up of value over time or collective intelligence. In other words, the new social tools change enterprise knowledge flow by making it more social, more open and public, discoverable, and ultimately, the most leverageable.
Note: I somewhat reluctantly included ECM in this list since the latest crop of ECM tools are adding much of the emergent, freeform, and social aspect that makes Enterprise 2.0 apps so distinct, powerful, and engaging. Just be warned that most off-the-shelf ECM today is not going to enable Enterprise 2.0 outcomes.
The Future Of Software-As-A-Service Technologies
Collaboration. Although its long-term future is unproven, Forrester's market data has shown SaaS collaboration to be one of the hotter areas of SaaS adoption, with the potential to significantly impact the collaboration market.
Knowledge workers behind times with collaboration
"The survey data shows a marked propensity among knowledge workers to stick with what they know for team collaboration despite the recognition of needed improvements and potentially better alternatives."
The report suggests IT departments consider a 'design for people' approach to support the way European knowledge workers want to work by building upon their current email-based workflow. The goal is to bridge the gap between structured business processes and everyday disparate collaboration habits.
