Social Glass

Apologies for the lack of posts lately.  Things have been pretty hectic at work (plus I’m moving into a new house, so that adds to it).  I thought I might briefly comment on my efforts to bring Enterprise 2.0 to my organization (or at least a part of it).  It’s interesting playing the role of client - where Enterprise 2.0 vendors want to engage with us to deploy the sofware - and consultant - the arduous task I and a band of few have of convincing others that “legacy CMS is bad and Enterprise 2.0 is good”.

I’ve found that many others within the organization have already taken strides to deploy mini enterprise 2.0 ecosystems.  When I speak with them (my allies) I feel emboldened by the possibilities and the amount of brain power that is pushing our efforts.

With the others (lets just call them non-allies), the approach has been to ensure the value proposition is properly manifested, that there’s an understanding that we want to share knowledge, innovate, and make the organization better as a whole.  The funny thing is this stuff just makes sense.  And when people get it, they push it, and that builds momentum.
