Success of Web 2.0 on the internet
On the internet people commonly blog, participate in communities, generate content on video, photo, power-point sharing applications.
They browse and write blogs, they read and write wikis.
They publish and subscribe to feeds using rss, and share documents and information on groupwares.
Those social web applications that are used by the general public on the internet are known under the name “Web 2.0”.
Use of Web 2.0 behind the firewall?
The same design philosophies, technologies, approaches, interface rules will vastly impact the way enterprises are managing knowledge and information
Specific Web 2.0 and social computing tools that have been adapted for enterprise use include:
– Hypertext and unstructured search tools
– Weblogs for authoring and storytelling.
– Wikis for authoring and linking – Social bookmarking for tagging and
building folksonomy. – RSS Newsreaders for signaling

Life since Google:
Search, don’t organize
Keywords are preferred over navigation
Recent studies reveal: Less than 50% of employees find what they are looking
for intranet Almost 90% of people find what they need on internet

Google: link based popularity = voting mechanism
Ratio: (Human) links are indication of relevancy & quality Links are contextual and add value to structure
Validity Very relevant on internet: huge population and variation;
truth by numbers Challenge on today’s intranet: few people control content
and masses can not interact… YET
Less than 50% of employees find what they are looking for intranet Almost 90% of people find what they need on internet Coincidence?

Blogs & wikis prove:
People like to write and contribute
Challenge:
But even lower echelons in chain have value:
voting, evaluation, commenting, …
many small make one big

Most popular wish from employees:
BETTER CONTENT ORGANIZATION
New trend = tagging = adding keywords
Taxonomy = content categorization by (few) experts Folksonomy = dynamic categorization by many folks
Focus on usage and consumption, not organization Allows knowledge usage pattern visualization Classify content according to relevance

Email was great innovator; now often considered as spam Higher exposure to more relevant information could lead to
information overload how to fight it?
Solutions
1. Single line emails telling that a page has changed
not super clever…
2. RSS = Really Simple Syndication
Get notified of something you want to see
at the moment you’re ready to see it
25
What should YOU do?
26
Modern management
As modern manager, your role is not to control resourcesbut to stimulate resources
Not:– TAG THAT!– BLOG THIS!– SYNDICATE THAT!– BOOKMARK THIS!
But:– “If you build it, they will use it”– Offer them a platform that will benefit them– Offer them technology to provide solutions to unknown problems
27
Success factors
1Receptive Culture
Cultivate new collaboration processes
2Common platform
One large wiki instead of multiple disconnected ones
3Informal rollout
Underpromise, overdeliverPilot projects
Loose guidelines
4Managerial support
Lead by exampleSeed information consumption
28
Risks
1Doesn’t catch on
You need at least a good mix of
2Unintended use
Use it in stable information focussedcompanies with potential for “drive”
