I’m a research fanatic, I just love learning new concepts and getting a free education over blogs. Some of you I am sure enjoy learning as well. That’s why I wanted to bring to your attention a series of excellent blog posts on Enterprise 2.0 in the last few weeks. Reading these blogs is like taking a class in Enterprise 2.0; it’s interesting to see what each of these experts are saying about this area.
Dr. Andrew McAfee, Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School is credited with coining the term Enterprise 2.0 in article published in the Spring 2006 edition of Sloan Management Review. Here is a short summary of his article. Dr. McAfee also is the first HBS professor to launch a blog, where he regularly discusses Enterprise 2.0 as an evolving framework within organizations. His blog consistently delivers excellent content and is worth adding to your RSS Reader.
Ross Mayfield is chairman, president and co-founder of SocialText and writes an interesting blog on Enterprise 2.0. His offer of an Enterprise 2.0 Essentials Kit is generous as there reports from Gartner, Macehiter, Radicati, IDC, Chapter 9 from Wikinomics and links to archived webinars, in addition to case studies.
Ross Dawson, who is CEO of Advanced Human Technologies, author, and researcher of Enterprise 2.0 adoption and trends, has recently proposed a governance framework he’s looking for feedback on. An Enterprise 2.0 Governance Framework – looking for input! is definitely worth checking out and contributing your opinions to. Ross’ blog is worth checking out here.
There are several other blogs covering Enterprise 2.0, including one of my favorite, which is O’Reilly Radar, which is written by a team of writers and occasionally discusses this topic. There’s also Dion Hinchcliffe of ZDNet who also does an excellent blog which is entirely dedicated to Enterprise 2.0. If you’re interested in this area be sure to check out his blog. There’s an Enterprise 2.0 Conference coming up June 9 -12 in Boston, and the site thankfully provides copies of last years’ presentations without opt-in. There is some great content in those presentations.
I’ve not mentioned every single source found on Enterprise 2.0 yet I just wanted to bring these to your attention as they have given me a decent beginning education on this topic, which is fascinating to see progress so rapidly this year.
