"Dion Hinchcliffe has just posted State of the Enterprise 2.0. Absolutely worth reading. He reviews the lessons learned in the Enterprise 2.0 world in the past 12 months since Andrew McAfee proposed this definition. Hinchcliffe provides 7 specific lessons learned:
- Lesson #1: Enterprise 2.0 is going to happen in your organization with you or without you.
- Lesson #2: Effective Enterprise 2.0 seems to involve more than just blogs and wikis.
- Lesson #3: Enterprise 2.0 is more a state of mind than a product you can purchase.
- Lesson #4: Most businesses still need to educate their workers on the techniques and best practices of Enterprise 2.0 and social media.
- Lesson #5: The benefits of Enterprise 2.0 can be dramatic, but only builds steadily over time.
- Lesson #6: Enterprise 2.0 doesn't seem to put older IT systems out of business.
- Lesson #7: Your organization will begin to change in new ways because of Enterprise 2.0. Be ready."
But clearly, as all of us association bloggers are saying, the new ways of doing business through Enterprise 2.0 are not ones we can ignore, because it's all happening with or without us.
Associations are the oldest social networks, are they not?
We need to get to Associations 2.0.
