Enterprise 2.0 Takeaways
Jun 13th, 2008 by Marc Baizman

I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the Enterprise 2.0 Conference this week and was able to meet with many organizations dealing with adopting these kinds of “2.0″ tools. I saw 2 common themes emerge:

  • Almost every organization is struggling with adopting and effectively using these tools.
  • Lots of these projects started in somebody’s basement (both metaphorical and literal) and grew exponentially as more people with the organization started to adopt the tools

One of the most interesting presentations was from the CIA’s “Intellipedia” team. Essentially they used the Wikipedia platform within the internal intelligence community to start sharing information better within and across the multiple government intelligence agencies.
