Beyond "enterprise 2.0": age of the builders

"It seems to me that English (or Chinese) are going to be replaced as the must know language. Tomorrow, we need to learn to talk to the machine. Technology skills will be basic skills for the future blue-collar or white-collar worker."

When a platform like Google Wave is adopted, the difficult thing will be to adapt to bots, to make them more friendly, and then to develop new ones, adapted to real needs
As a matter of fact, we already have bots all around us, we just did not know they were bots until someone (Google) called them by their names

- We will be slowly entering a new era, the «I have to automate it era».
- we’ll go from solving problems to designing systems that solve problems
- Tomorrow, we need to learn to talk to the machine.
- But slowly, in some enterprises, Enterprise 2.0 is gaining speed. In these workplaces, people are still users, but they need to get ready to continuously master new usages. Not learn them once or twice. Continuously change usages
- If they succeed, the next challenge is to become contributors
- When these corporate collaboration platforms are widely spread, we are going to become builders.
- Training is the answer today to people obsolescence. Not enough. Because not everyone can be trained at the same pace, and training is still an industrial process, based on a mechanical view of the corporation. Adoption of collaboration platforms should also lead towards changing our mindset as organisation and value are concerned.
- Contributors build value differently. They are helping the corporation built another key system : if we assume the IT network was built for users, now we needed the knowledge network for contributors.
- What about builders ? We have builders all over in our corporations : leaders, researchers, managers, ... But they are still in the minority side of the company.
- When collaboration platforms are adopted, more and more people will be considered as builders, because building will be expeced of them
- Users are left with a difficult choice : become a contributor or go be a user to any other, lesser, corporation; similarly, contributors are left with the choice to become builders or go contribute some-place else. Even builders, once they have put all they had in a bot, will have to learn to build bots for something different or go build solutions to other, lesser corporations.
- Or maybe not most value will come from productivity ... maybe, as some companies already do, people development will become the central process of the corporatio
- Corporations are not bots. They are machines from hell. Whatever is expected of them, they do. Today, leaders expect quaterly earnings from corporations, at whatever cost. It will be good to challenge this short term vision.
- At this point, one thing is clear to me: leaders are needed to define what the corporation needs to become. Otherwise, the disparity in household income that we consider high today, will have just been the beginning of a sad story.

5 Impressive Real-Life Google Wave Use Cases

"Should you happen to be one of those people, we’ve got a number of different resources that you can use to get up to speed with Google Wave. This time around, however, we wanted to look at how people are actually using it now. From process modelling and customer service, to project collaboration, annotation, and gaming, the examples listed here highlight the power of the newborn medium, and in part, showcase what we can expect as the platform matures."

Will social media kill off the intranet in years to come?

The majority of our readers believe the impact of Facebook-style social networks with elements of file and photo sharing, microblogging or status updates, phlogging (phone blogging), vlogging (video blogging), and instant messaging to name a few applications, will mean the end of the traditional intranet as we know it, but equally see the intranet evolve to incorporate large pockets of social networking.

But the reason we need to change the way we communicate is not just due to technological advancements, the principal driver is human evolution.

intranet socialnetworks intranet2.0 generationy googlewave privacy regulation

As Russell Pearson, communicator and intranet specialist says, there is now a need to realign to meet employee, not application or department needs.
Pearson, however goes further and believes that the advent of Google Wave, a new communications and collaboration platform that is currently in early testing, as well as social networks being accessible on each other’s platforms, will “accelerate the process of embedding online conversations”.

- “The problem is about privacy and secrets in organization. The intranet is a closed space, exactly the opposite of social media. Nobody will allow employees to share their internal information so there will be always a frontier between social media and intranets.

Enterprise 2.0 Software: Commoditization before Monetization | Pretzel Logic - Enterprise 2.0

So the real question for me is: Are we on the path to super sonic commoditazion in the Enterprise 2.0 market before even a single vendor has truly broken out & dominated the space?

The next wave of differentiation amongst Enterprise 2.0 providers was going to be based on content creation as well as smart aggregation, fueled by micro-messaging, integration, aggregation, activity streams and the concept of the real time enterprise
Or we will in fact start to see competition based on which software vendor can help organizations move into an Enterprise 2.0 design by focusing on specific business processes.

My Notes and Thoughts on Google Wave Video Demo

I think this integration and the development of more focused capabilities that sit on top of Wave will be key to its success. As I mentioned earlier, I think that the completely open Wave will get some use as a novelty and even as a collaboration platform. However, it is too open ended for many work applications, as people will not want to recreate the functionality and features. It can potentially serve as a meeting point for applications. On the other hand, people might want to shape application themselves and not be forced to follow the structure of existing applications.
