At higher risk of having good ideas

Patti Anklam collects some good links (to online "paper" media) and ponders the changing nature of creativity, stimulus and innovation in social networks. Patterns and tasks aren't new (homogenity rarely breeds new ideas, being broad loosens the focus) as are the potential structural solutions (connecting disparate networks with knowledge brokers, importing, promoting and adapting ideas, the need for boundary-spanning importing of ideas ...) - but like Paula comments it's a sort of canary to see if we're doing our internal social networking (or our hanging out on the social media scene) right.

If you have a “closed” network, where everyone pretty much knows or knows about each other. A good aspect of this connectivity is that the network can serve as a filter — multiple tweets or retweets about a topic link usually means it’s worth following — and its possible to generate a common language. However, it’s not likely that the richest source of creativity — two unlikely ideas coming together — will occur. You need (or the organization needs) to have connections outside the group. As Burt puts it (using one of my favorite phrases ever, the title of this blog), “People who live in the intersection of social worlds ‘are at higher risk of having good ideas.”

The Difference Between Hard and Hard Work

Measurement isn't hard, but it requires work - I guess this holds true for getting to know more about the RoI of Enterprise 2.0.

Snip: "If you’re still saying to me that it’s too hard, that means that you don’t have the mechanisms in place to measure well, or you don’t have a handle on what you should be measuring because your goals aren’t clear, or you don’t know where that information lives inside your company. All of those are NOT an indication that measurement is hard. They’re an indication that you have some work to do to build the foundation for measurement."

DMMK Interview with Clay Shirky (podcast)

Nicole Simon has done an interview with Clay Shirky, talking about social media as a whole but there are some Enterprise 2.0 related learnings in there as well (when Clay was at this years CeBIT webciety it was like that as well, talking about social media is **very** beneficial to Enterprise 2.0 people too).

Some snippets:
* 5 word synopsis for Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations: Group action just got easier
* relevant participation patterns
* why the product department should adopt these new tools, not marketing
* we are in the infancy of use of social tools in companies
* if old organisations will not catch up, startups will do the job for them

Again, What Is The ROI From Social media? | The Relationship Economy......

addition to the RoI discussion, playing with an alternative notion of options. I like this for its focus on adaptivity, fuzzy and evolving goals et al.\n\nSnip:\n"The value of social media is counted in options - not ROI. Social media is dynamic, not static. Therefore "Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT)" are also highly dynamic moving targets that are highly contagious in social media and cannot be foretold in the next 5 days let alone 5 years. The cardinal rule of business is to collect assets and reduce liabilities. An option is an asset and an obligation is a liability."
