There is no enterprise and here comes everybody.
Akin to: There is no spoon…we’re all part of the matrix.
We have to rethink everything we know about Enterprises and the barrier between what’s inside the wall and outside the wall is being disintermediated by individuals taking ownership of their identities.
Thanks for the comment Paula!
I am a big fan of the matrix movie, I have seen it over a dozen times. I am known in this area for bending spoons and other various objects.
I’m all about removing barriers, especially the self constructed ones.
Transparency is great, but individuals & organizations need to protect their intellectual capital, private information, and work product.
I would not share my social security number, tax records, my client’s work product, banking information, & other various private information in the social media space. Would you? I would not want to filter through extra information of others, just to get what I need.
The “wall” is not necessarily a firewall. As human beings, we all have walls. Most of us have comfort zone walls. I have social zones that I enter in order to share what is necessary at the time. I usually do not communicate & interact with my colleagues in the same ways I communicate & interact with a lover. Everything seems to have a time & place, just like Enterprise 2.0 and Social Media.
Enterprise 2.0 is more about improving internal communications and collaboration in order to meet business objectives. Social Media from a business perspective is more about managing public perceptions and brand awareness.
Those 5 differences are so dead on. That is something that we need to highlight in the explanation of what people probably want, vs. what they think they want when it comes to Government 2.0.
Hi Geek Girl Supreme (Andera)
Thanks for adding your insights!
I believe we talked a little bit about this at Government 2.0 Camp #Gov20Camp in Washington DC. There were so many people at Gov20Camp & with all the tweets and other twitter activity, it’s difficult to still match conversations with faces. We also talked about gathering more information from great thinkers around the world though the internet by using blogs, wikis, & other collaboration spaces.
People at http://www.government20club.org are doing a great job with this for a lot of people that are already aware of some needs in Government 2.0. I hope our efforts help connect more people to existing efforts.
I’m glad you mentioned Government 2.0. I am passionate about helping government agencies improve communications and collaboration. I believe you also have a passion for Gov 2.0. I’m so excited that Organizations and Government Agencies are embracing web technology and agree that there is a need to help sort the onslaught of information.
I hope to engage a wide range of people, so we can share a wide range of perspectives. Your link is also available in the resource section of the article. I met Andrew McAfee several months ago, I like his insights about Enterprise 2.0 too. I purposely avoided a detailed description of Enterprise 2.0 because I hope others will share their description of Enterprise 2.0 and how they feel about Enterprise 2.0 compared to Social Media.
[...] government followers, and social media folks. In a previous post we covered some points on the difference between Enterprise 2.0 and Social Media. Today I would like to share some amazing things our government agencies and warfighters are doing [...]
