3. Premise
• Social computing is an effective new model
for meeting business objectives
• Can enhance productivity, drive
innovation, cut costs, and more
• Integral to the modern workplace today
• However, social computing is a new
discipline that combines freeform yet
strategic business activity with Web 2.0
technology
• Most organizations today have a low level
of capability around this new discipline

4. The Questions
• How can we adopt Enterprise 2.0 most
effectively?
• What have we learned so far?
• How do we get the upsides without
potential downsides?
• Can we identify best practices or are
organizations too different to do this?
5. How do we best
transform our work
processes for
the 21st century?
6. Challenges to Transitioning
to Social Business Models
• Innovator’s Dilemma
• “How do we disrupt ourselves
before our competition does?”
• Not-Invented Here
• Overly fearful of failure
• Deeply ingrained classical business culture
• Low level of 2.0 literacy
7. Pent up change is building on the
edge of organizations and must be
recognized and dealt with

Types of
Enterprise 2.0
10. Key area where traditional
process models often struggle
• Don’t respond to change quickly enough
• Poorly aligned with current business reality
• Lack of focus on driving consumption (or network
effects)
• Too centralized and/or isolated
• Expensive and resource-intensive
• Overengineered in the wrong places. Excessively
constraining.
11. At the Very Least, an
E2.0 Methodology Must:
A) Address active business concerns (downsides)
B) Focus on delivering business value
C) Help an organization acquire social computing
competency
12. Applying the
“Web 2.0 effect” at work
• Enterprise 2.0
– Globally visible, persistent collaboration
• Employees, partners, and even customers
• Leaves behind highly reusable knowledge
– Uses wikis, blogs, social networks, and other
Web 2.0 applications to enable low-barrier
collaboration across the enterprise
– Puts workers into central focus as contributors
– Case studies of early adoption consistently
verifying significant levels of productivity and
innovation
Enterprise 2.0 systems adapt
to the environment, rather
than requiring the
environment to adapt to it.

14. Perceived Benefits Of Enterprise 2.0
• Increased knowledge retention
• More adoption and actual use of knowledge
management tools
• Better solutions that fit local business problems
(via emergent structure and processes)
• Increased transparency
• Less duplication of effort
• Higher levels of productivity
15. Understanding
Why E2.0 is
Different
• Maturation of techniques
that leverage how people
work best
• Realization of the power
of emergent solutions
over pre-defined solutions
• Nearly zero-barriers to use
• And more...
21. Because the enterprise is not the Web
• We want to replicate the
positive aspects of Web 2.0
platforms in the enterprise
• But our infrastructure is
usually not very Web-like,
creating significant
impedance and diluted
results
• Requires augmentation and
adaptation to reproduce the
same or similar results

• Social networks focus on
enabling interaction and
conversation.
• Collaborative networks are
focused on groups accessing
and organizing data into
actionable formats that enable
decision making, collaboration
and reuse
Social vs. Collaborative Use of
Enterprise 2.0
23. Adoption Strategies
• Gain and Enlist Top Down Support and
Overcome Turf Issues In Advance
• Align Enterprise 2.0 Strategy to Business
Strategy (Find A Problem To Solve)
• Align Enterprise 2.0 Applications to Key
Business Goals and Processes
• Develop a Simple, Clear Business Case
• Provide Strong Leadership for the Enterprise
2.0 Function(s)
• Design Measures Aligned to Business Processes
24. Adoption Strategies Pt. 2
• Listen to the Users, Involve Them in the
Design
• Simplify the Access and Production of
Knowledge
• Develop a Clear Communication Plan to
Promote the Effort
• Involve all the Key Stakeholders, Eventually
• Integrate all forms of Communication and
Documentation)
• Develop a Clear Motivation Plan that Aligns
with Current Incentive Plans
25. Community Management
• Guiding, administering, supporting, and
mentoring social groups
• Helps organizations achieve specific
objectives with Enterprise 2.0
• Has proven invaluable at organizations
with significant success:
• Stories: SAP, CIA Intellipedia
• Now believed to be “essential” to E2.0

27. Breakdown of an E2.0 Effort
• Enterprise 2.0 efforts appear to consume resources
in roughly the following proportion:
• Tools: 15%
• Integration, Customization: 25%
• Community Management: 25%
• IT Support: 15%
• Project/Change Management: 20%
• Your Mileage Will Vary
28. Community Management, Cont’d
• Critical Success Factor: The quality
of the community management
team will directly determine the
success of an Enterprise 2.0 effort
• Locating it has been a challenge
for many (IT, HR, customer
service, portal team, ECM team,
project team, even marketing)
• Enlist volunteers from the
community as well as dedicated
workers
29. Understanding the Local Culture
• Different types of cultures in most
organizations:
– Team
– Community
– Network
• Each cultural environment can enable or
stifle collaboration and communication
30. Enabling Change at the Three
Cultural Levels
• Team
• Community
• Network

33. Determining the ROI of
Enterprise 2.0
• Project costs tend to be
lower than classical IT
efforts (Example: Transunion, $50K to reap
$2M+)
• ROI is hard to measure
because of cause and
effect chains
• But when I is low, R is
easier to reach
35. More Enlightened Agile Process
Highly iterative, more feedback loops, learning
from experience before completing the effort

Enterprise 2.0

4 Pilot
5 Roll-Out

Business Opportunities, Business Case, Risks, Silos, Priorities, Budget
Create strategy, Communicate Plan, Set Expectations, Develop Policies,

Understand and Address Competencies, Determine
Stakeholder’s Needs/Concerns, Understand Grassroot Initiatives
Create Social Computing Environment, Build Capabilities,
Capture Lessons Learned, Build Critical Mass
Expand Audience and Reach, Incorporate Lessons Learned
Community Management, Guide-Direct-Moderate (but don’t over control)

37. The Perpetual Beta Era
• Products are never finished
• Users drive most of the
innovation and change
– Including new features and
testing
• Products co-evolve and
change every day
• Most organizations aren’t
here yet, but the Web is
increasingly

43. Evaluation Questions
• Does the Enterprise 2.0 method or framework:
• Embody waterfall or agile (iterative)? (Latter is
better)
• Encourage the key aspects and enablers of Enterprise
2.0 (FLATNESSES)
• Focus on the lifecycle and community management
issues beyond rollout
• Manage risk and concerns
• Put culture change and adoption issues on (at least)
the same level of importance as tools and
technologies
53. Conclusions
• We are still at a low level of maturity when it
comes to Enterprise 2.0 strategy and methods
• Existing frameworks often miss many key
Enterprise 2.0 elements today
• Adapting the best parts you think you need is
often the most effective strategy
• Improvements are coming but a “Unified Process”
for Enterprise 2.0 is unlikely anytime soon
