enterprise 2.0

"[T]he inherent tripartite structure of a tag which potentially informs us a) about the resource being tagged, b) about the identity of the tagger and c) about the interests of the tagger, all combine to define the ternary relationship between them. When this is multiplied by ‘x’ number of tags in a given system, it opens a veritable pandora’s box of application options." - Simon Edhouse

Some words of wisdom from Anthony Bradley of Gartner:

Always choose to be “true to the community” over supporting the interests of a sponsor. Even though money comes from a sponsor. The power comes from the community. Without the community there is no power to attract sponsors. Think of it this way:

• If you lose a sponsor but keep the community, you will get another sponsor.
• If you keep the sponsor but then lose the community, you will lose all sponsors (including the one you tried to keep)

The same philosophy applies to all social media implementations. Being “true to the community” is paramount.

An excellent advice from Anthony Bradley of Gartner on Piloting Social Media:

“The most successful implementations I’ve seen don’t “pilot,” they execute on a planned increment. When you go to the community with a social media solution, go for real. So how do you mitigate risk? Mitigate risk with a carefully scoped purpose. Minimize the initial business purpose pursued but pursue that purpose with all the execution discipline it requires.”

"Innovation is distinct from improvement in that it causes society to reorganize. It is distinct from problem solving and is perhaps more rigorously seen as new problem creation." (Group Partners)

Carol Rozwell of Gartner wrote in her blog:

Innovating is a little easier if we look for the opportunity in change rather than the threat.

The opportunity that Carol alludes to, of course, comes from the new problems created by innovation.
