What kills startups
Most closures, however -- even those that do not end in bankruptcy -- are the result of unforeseen circumstances. It seems that Murphy's Law affects entrepreneurs disproportionately. Often, these disasters could have been avoided if company management had paid more heed to the principles of risk management.

Can Enterprise 2.0 Afford to be Boring?
It is critically important that Enterprise 2.0 tools get adopted by the risk takers and in-the-line-of-fire people actually driving the business. If we speculate that 20% of the employees are responsible for 80% of the results, we need that proportion reflected in online activity. The people who don’t pull their punches. The ones who dare to call a spade a spade. The ones who know how to tell the truth without unnecessary collateral damage. Without them, the revolution that Enterprise 2.0 thinking is capable of triggering will not happen.

Recognize the Risk of Enterprise 2.0
Despite this view of organizations just waiting for Enterprise 2.0, most have done business profitably for years without them. How much courage does it take for someone to start an internal blog when their management see little or no value? Would you ask 5 levels above you permission to post a few ideas or your own? Do you have the onions to step out into a field of conversation that could determine your next career step; up or down?

Potential Pitfalls in Enterprise 2.0
First of all, let me recap some of the key fundamentals of Enterprise 2.0 - social networking with friends, colleagues and business partners, collaboration on job specific tasks (possibly on the same platform), sharing and trusting people in the network. So what are the potential problems people might face?

Information Management Is Broken, But the Fix Is Coming
We’ve heard the clichés: “Information is our greatest asset”; “We live in an information economy”; “Information is the lifeblood of our organization.” Sadly, what used to be all about collaboration and user productivity is now, in many organizations, about protecting against lawsuits.
The reasons are clear: Courts have upheld that all electronic information is discoverable, meaning virtually everything in an organization can be used in a lawsuit. Risk management is now a higher priority than user productivity.

Fear Factor in the Workplace - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com
What really disturbs surviving employees about downsizings is that they cannot control or rationalize the events. If I have a co-worker who frequently arrives late and does low quality work, I can rationalize her layoff by saying to myself, “She didn’t carry her weight and deserved to be let go.” If, instead, my co-worker seems to work as hard and as well as I do and then, through no fault of her own, happens to be the victim of a “reduction in force,” I cannot rationalize that. More important, I fear that I cannot control my situation: in the first scenario, I have a sense of control over my fate by continuing to do high-quality work. In the second scenario, working hard or working well doesn’t seem to help me retain my job.

Innovate on Purpose: The innovation paradox
The innovation paradox is that the more your firm pays attention to innovation, the less likely it will be to be successful at innovation. That's because, like any other foreign organism, the culture and bureaucracy of your organization identifies an external intruder that has not aligned itself with the organization and function of the rest of the body, and tries to force the innovation program or capability to adopt the decision making processes, risk tolerances, timeframes, perspectives and "best practices" that are part and parcel of the rest of the organization.

Tale of Two Tunnels: Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 :: Personal InfoCloud
The reality is the tools need selling their use, value derived from them, the conceptual models around what they do, and easing fears. Adoption rates grow far beyond the teen percentages in organizations that take time guiding people about the use of the tools and services. Those organizations that take the opportunity to continually sell the value and use for these tools they have in place get much higher adoption and continued engagement with the tools than those who do nothing an

Effective governance unleashes the creative potential of Web 2.0 in the business - Trends in the Living Networks
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."

Do You Experiment at Work?
The problem is that most business managers hate experiments. They want guaranteed returns. Predictable profits. Introducing uncertainty works against what they're trying to do. The comedy is that whatever profits they're talking about protecting originated from the founders of the company doing a huge experiment: starting a new company.

Ready, Fire, Aim? | socialutions
The difference in applying social technologies to existing business operations is not necessarily changing what you do, i.e. communicate with stakeholders, create new value propositions etc., rather it is more about changing how you do things.
