How to let go of a Utopian 2.0, identify barriers and focus on positive outcomes
What great conversations we had today! I hope the conversation continues, so here are my light
(and paraphrased) blogging notes from wonderwebby at Enterprise 2.0 Executive forum.
On a Utopian 2.0
Euan Semple:
The technologies are not utopian, but they do bring visibility and
accountablility
On Letting
Go.
Nathan
Wallace : Don’t impose structure if you want people to use the technology. Let
people use it for whatever purpose. Learn to manage the flow instead.
Nathan
Wallace also talked about barriers to participation, such as the perception of
more work being created, or the risks involved. To counter resistance, he
focused on the simplicity and ease of use to employees.
Other barriers
and employee perceptions mentioned by panel members: abuse of time, integrity of
information, personal reputation, security, being prepared to take a risk.
On
Positive Outcomes.
Mentioned by various speakers: Improved collaboration, trust, ability to share, global and regional visibility, easy metrics, conversations, low cost, engagement, integration, efficiency, reduced operational costs, sustainable competitive advantage, agility, flexibility, access to knowledge and Knowledge Workers.
Summary: I'll quote Victor Rodrigues (who was talking about retaining integrity): the errors that occur are small fish in the scale of what we are trying to achieve
