Encouraging Signs

I’m seeing a lot of momentum behind Enterprise 2.0 in my corporate life and have been encouraged by a few recent events therein. The first involved a workshop we did with a person who’s title was “Head of Emerging Technologies and Solutions”, for, lets just say, a very large and important company, and reports directly to the “C” level. During the workshop HE TOLD US about blogs, wikis, podcasts and gave a great demo of Lotus Connections. Wow. Never before have I talked to a potential client about Enterprise 2.0 who knew more about it than I did.

The second event was less significant, but there is another large company employs person who’s title is “Catalyst of Magic”? No joke. And this person also reports directly to the “C” level and is active in evangelizing Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 internally.

I must say these are encouraging signs that the larger corporations get it.

    Jeremy! You must DISH on that “Catalyst of Magic” contact. That is precious. I could use that is sooooo many ways! Perhaps you would kindly ask this person to contact me? Remember– blogging is sharing. ;-)

    Hey Susan,

    Unfortunately I actually don’t know who she is. A colleague of mine had contact with her (or at least with someone who knows her) for some internal engagement.
