Government 2.0: early examples of social networking at work
Can the social networking wave that is emerging help bring about more responsive government organizations? The Grant Thornton report says yes, and cites some examples: In the 1990s onward, we heard plenty of discussion around “eGovernment,” and how it would put elected officials and public administrators in touch with their constituencies. Here it is, more than a decade later in the eGovernment era.

Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Research from Cecile Demailly
adoptions emerged from the data.  For example, I have seen several instances where switching to blogs in the learning platform dramatically increased results. Cecile Demailly at the French consulting firm, Early Strategies , recently completed an interesting study of enterprise 2.0 adoption.

Five key characteristics of great pilot team members
It can be particularly useful when these pilots are visible more broadly across the organization, for example for IT support issues. Strong personal networks within organizations emerge through both personality, organizational role, and work history (e.g. I recently posted an excerpt from Chapter 17 of Implementing Enterprise 2.0 titled 8 Guiding Principles for Pilot Programs: A Key for Enterprise 2.0 .

  • Emergence 3 – The Rules – A Science – Our Only Chance?
    Once before, at a time of great change – the Ending of the Ice Age – Mankind used Emergence to not only come through but to take a new place on the planet. Is not Emergence our best chance? We have so little time that if we are to face our challenges directly and use Emergence as a process, that we have to know what to do. Don’t we face the same kind of challenge today? We have to know the science and hence the predictable rules?

  • The emergence of Serendipity 2.0 and Innovation 2.0
    Examples If everyone participates and networks on a platform we could view a tag cloud and see some emerging patterns…we could view the frequent tags and realise we need to take action on something, or realise the mood at the moment. Without a participation platform and tagging content, there is no way we would have known otherwise of these emergent patterns, and what they tell us. In the past many discoveries and innovations have come by accident or by chance, rather than a team hurting their heads with too much innovation think, “no matter how much I try I just can’t think of an innovation”.

  • Emergence Part 2 – What might be the container & rules for humans?
    First of all – if the concept of Emergence is new for you – that extremely complex outcomes such as life itself, flocking by birds or winning the Netflix Prize – are not the product of a God, a Plan, a CEO but emerge from a Container (An optimal environment for that growth) and a simple Set of Rules – then here is a great short video from Nova that in 4 minutes will give you a sound introduction. [link] In my first post in this series I proposed that if we use the ideas of Emergence we might find the larger opportunity in Social Software – that

  • Emergence Part 1 – So what is really going on?
    My growing feeling is that the widespread use of Social Media might soon enable us to gain the benefit of “Emergence”. What you might ask is “Emergence”. Here is an example of how each of us as humans acquire the scale free use of language: Beyond disrupting organizations and value as we know it, what is going to be the deep result of the use of Social Media? Many of us see it as at least making organizations more effective – faster, more informed etc.

  • Are you really doing Enterprise 2.0?
    emergent approach (with sharing, learning, connections happening along the way). is a technology that allows connections, network effects and emergence that we didn’t have previously, but we all know without participation and management 2.0 is left alone and emergence can happen, but then comes in to guide and facilitate, to make sure it’s adaptive in the best possible way. The other day I posted on Knowledge flow networks and Post-KM : enterprise 2.0, facilitation and complexity , these along with an older post include how I think KM and enterprise

  • How do wikis and blogs fit together?
    A recent conversation has re-emerged at my work on How do wikis and blogs fit together ? A perfect example of this thinking is a paper by the CIA called The Wiki and the Blog: Toward a Complex Adaptive Intelligence Community . This is an example of using new flexible tools to create explicit (wikipage) and tacit (blog entries) knowledge. One way is to think of the stock and flow model, wikis have perpetually re-edited pages, whereas blogs have a stream of date-based entries just like newspaper articles. Wikipages can be seen as more definitive, whereas blog

  • Cisco as an emerging Enterprise 2.0 case example
    Image via Wikipedia The current issue of Fast Company has a cover article on Cisco and their ongoing efforts to reorganize into something that is an excellent case study of what Enterprise 2.0 may look like in an established organization. It shouldn’t be any surprise that the quintessential networking company is on the leading edge of network thinking

  • The top-down and bottom-up creation of enterprise communities, and wikis
    also give them examples of community specific help guides and examples of instructional design to help their users orient and learn to use the community…it’s crucial they have a good experience, by their needs being fulfilled. So when I think about it our communities are transparent and bottom-up in that people participate and interact their know-how, allowing for emergence, but they are not very enterprise 2.0 This is a follow-up to my Community Lessons post, and Community paradox post. Top-Down community creation

  • We are more than our job title describes, so let’s get social!
    And of course from this we are capitalising on opportunities, and there emerges an element of self organisation and autonomy. An example used is the World of Warcraft as a knowledge economy. Tags: km conversation network emergence learnin Here’s an excerpt from a one page flyer I’m doing for Communities of Practice at our work: “We like to think that people in our [firm] are more than their job title describes, we all have many talents, and we all have many needs to draw on each others talent. This is what we call ’social productivity.”

  • Wikis for exceptions and process failures
    My example was the danger of using a blog as a solution centre due to its news type nature, and rather using a wiki for an official solution centre. In that example, wikis were described as a place to house explicit information, whereas the blog was more explanatory tacit based information, perhaps containing the know-how behind the solution. Using the example above, the fact that people are taking the time to My previous blog entry was a follow up on flexible tools not being immune to being used the wrong way. Why is the blog entry important?
