Colonizing the Outer Rings : Andrew McAfee’s Blog

  • The conclusion I’ve arrived at recently is easy to state: Enterprise 2.0 is most valuable at the outer rings of the target.
  • I say this for two main reasons. First, prior to the arrival of ESSPs the IT toolkit available at the outer rings was both small and ineffective.

Social Strategy Talk: Participation and Open data :: Blog :: Headshift

  • We face problems that governments alone cannot fix - problems that are rooted in network behaviour and whose solutions also lie in network thinking - and we also face issues of fragmentation, identity and belonging in a rapidly, and unevenly globalising world. But also, right here and now, we face the issue of ever increasing expectations of public services, combined with rapidly dwindling funds.

Enterprise 2.0 is a Crock: Discuss : Andrew McAfee’s Blog

  • If you’re a manager within a stable hierarchy and you get wind of a movement that aims to eliminate management and hierarchy (and stability!), you’re almost certainly going to oppose it.
  • And it’s wrong because it’s, well, wrong. On two counts. First, management, hierarchy, routine, and bureaucracy have their faults, but none of them qualify as mala in se – things that are bad in and of themselves. Organizations should probably have less of each of them rather than more, but that doesn’t mean that they should have none.

A Defining Moment : Andrew McAfee’s Blog

    • Enterprise 2.0 is the use of emergent social software platforms within companies, or between companies and their partners or customers.


      Social software enables people to rendezvous, connect or collaborate through computer-mediated communication and to form online communities. (Wikipedia’s definition).


      Platforms are digital environments in which contributions and interactions are globally visible and persistent over time.


      Emergent means that the software is freeform, and that it contains mechanisms to let the patterns and structure inherent in people’s interactions become visible over time.


      Freeform means that the software is most or all of the following:


      • Optional
      • Free of up-front workflow
      • Egalitarian, or indifferent to formal organizational identities
      • Accepting of many types of data
