Meet up at the Duke of York to talk about the emerging role of Web2.0 in the enterprise.
"Web 2.0 (Social Software) is changing how organisations think. In place of rigid processes changed only by strategists in the company and consultants , organisations that embrace Web 2.0 can make descriptions of key processes available to anyone in the firm to comment on, update and evolve. This makes the whole of the firm more aware of what works and what is broken, and instead of processes being periodically reviewed when management can afford time, they can be reviewed on a continuous basis when the people closest to the problems see them and commit to making a difference in solution implementation. Culturally the mass-socialisation aspect (all ideas visible) creates a dialtone of being heard, allows detailed and insightful feedback, reveals interested parties and encourages energy to follow issues.
enterprises that embrace this new paradigm face a plethora of new issues. To participate demands competency in distributed leadership, technical implementation, and collaboration. To not participate surely means making the choice to be out-competed by those who do. "
If you'd like to come out and talk these sorts of ideas, come stop on by. All are welcome.
