Euan Semple, former KM Director for BBC, and propoent of Web 2.0 tools, has been the subject of several recent blogs posts for his take on the easy way to do Enterprise 2.0:
From Dan’s blog post:
“Enterprise 2.0 is not just the idea of employing blogs, wikis, collective intelligence, social networking, tagging, RSS, AJAX, presence and other technologies and Web-related concepts in a corporate setting. It connecting with the younger workforce that grew up on the Web and the older workforce who grew into the Web, understanding the powers of collaboration, communication, flattened hierarchies and knowledge access brought by the Internet.
Semple boils it down to three principles: Do nothing, get out of the way and keep the energy levels up. He encourages companies to unleash and engage with the people energized to explore Web 2.0 tools and to open the way for them to do so inside the firewall (get out of the way) as a path to benefiting from Enterprise 2.0. It’s the getting out of the way part that will give CIOs and IT departments headaches. “
