The Social Enterprise
I'm a huge fan of lists. If they're read with some existing context/knowledge, they're an incredible way to trigger ideas.
So, here's a list from notes made from a talk by SocialText's Ross Mayfield (who along with Lee Bryant, lead the thinking in the 'social enterprise' area) Enterprise 1.0 to Enterprise 2.0, which I think summarise the 'social enterprise' trends I've been observing (and trying to influence) in my clients:
- document-centric to people-centric
- structured to freeform
- taxonomy to folksonomy
- folders to tagging
- knowledge management to knowledge sharing
- need-to-know to need-to-share
- one-to-many to many-to-many
- centralized to distributed
- top down to emergent
- rigid to flexible
The rest of the article requires less than a minute to read, but has a tight summary of Mayfield's views on the roles of intranets, and 'social messaging'. Also worth a skim are Mayfield's slideset on SlideShare.
