If you can credibly argue that a customer's increased profits will exceed the price it will pay for the software, purchasing the software should be a no brainer. Supply Chain and CRM software were sold on a similar efficiency story in the late 90's and early 2000's and, in many instances, continue to drive significant ROI for those customers who adopted them early.

Which brings me to the next big theme: adoption. Many enterprises are struggling with employee adoption of social tools. So, this prompts me to ask -- perhaps unfairly -- what about the whole idea of "emergence"? Aren't these tools so cool, so fun, so essential to modern work, that they will sweep through the enterprise in a groundswell held back only by your troglodyte executives? It turns out that many social computing efforts are actually championed by C-level executives. This led several observers at the conference to blame power-hoarding middle managers for poor adoption. Maybe that's the case in some enterprises, but as a generalization it feels trite to me.

In fact, this whole debate reminds me of all the talk circa 2004 about getting better Intranet adoption. Enterprises had invested in pricey portal systems that employees rarely bothered to visit. Intranet managers learned over time to provide useful services that ease employees' daily tasks. Often what employees really wanted was a single simple application, like an online org chart. There's a lesson there.

Looking at past economic downturns, such as the burst of the dot-com bubble, we found that top innovators continued to outperform their peers even during the tough times. | There may be an optimum level of innovation. Companies with the lowest innovation performance clearly suffered in the market. However the players that have the very highest IPS aren’t always rewarded proportionally in terms of higher TRS. So, while companies must make sure that they are well-positioned in the innovation game, it’s unclear whether being a distant leader pays off in higher TRS. We are still working on this intriguing question.

Many questioning about enterprise 2.0 these last weeks. How to make it work, how help companies to understand it, how to calculate the ROI ? So many questions that, at the end, can be summed up in only one : undestranding how these new logics can integrate into the existing and add to it. Without that, it’s obvious that either companies don’t dare either they will dare with overcautiousness and won’tbe able to get the most from their initiative, either will dare in a bad way and things will be counter-productives.

Most organizations think about technology first:

* Blogs
* Wikis
* Crowdsourcing
* Social Networking
* Telepresence
* Real-Time Collaboration software

The issue is that ROI does not appear because of other factors:

* Rewards
* Culture
* Organization Design
* Knowledge Sharing
* Content
* Achieving Adoption
* Abilities
* Systems Design

Design Thinking: Starts and ends with individuals

* Culture
* Behaviors
* Motivations
* Social Interactions

These apps aim to provide value in three ways. First, they can bridge geographical and organizational information divisions by moving conversations out of email and hallways and into shared spaces such as blogs and wikis. This way, information becomes searchable, serendipitous connections are made, and ideas pollinate in ways they couldn’t before. Communities of interest spring up around subject matter rather than organizational hierarchies. For instance, a hardware engineer in Ireland who experiments with open-source software in his spare time could link to a blog on Linux started by a software developer in Australia. Even though the hardware engineer isn’t part of the software development team, he could follow discussions and share ideas, some of which the dev team may find useful.
