• The enterprise implications of Google Wave | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com

  Dion analyzes why Google Wave might be of importance to Enetrprise 2.0 people - and argues that it’s very fitting to our concept of FLATNESSES.

  I fully agree and am definitely looking forward to kicking the tires of Google Wave.

  Snip “Google has launched many communication services since its inception yet none of these have had such obvious business utility or attempted to reinvent the collaborative process from the ground-up.”

• Why is Google Wave a tsunami?

  blogged about Google Wave, with a humble effort to explain what makes Google Wave important from my perspective.

  It’s like they say that the toys of today are the tools of tomorrow, but there are of course more elaborate arguments included

• Working in Groups

  @rosspw writes up on some of the “Tips for Working Successfully in a Group” - remember Randy Pausch.

  A bit of wisdom for those of us involved in helping teams collaborate more efficiently … I liked it for its focus on getting “collaboration infrastructure” right as a start

• Google Wave: What Might Email Look Like If It Were Invented Today? - O’Reilly Radar

  Tim gives a good rundown of Google Wave - as always more action is happening in the comments. There’s a discusiion touching bases on many accounts (Think Ray Ozzie’s Grrove, Jon Udell’s Practical Internet Groupware and more), what it all means to Facebook, Friendfeed and whatever (personally I think that it’s more of a threat to Facebook and not so much to the lifestreaming idea of Friendfeed)

  So, given that that the toys of today are the (enterprise) tools of tomorrow, what do we make of this as Enterprise 2.0 people?

• The year of the shift to Enterprise 2.0 | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com

  Dion writes a concise analysis of the developments we will see in 2009 for Enterprise 2.0 - a good list, tons of studies referenced and some additional highlighting in the text.

  • Intriguing new just-released reports now show that between a third and one half of businesses either already are or will be employing so-called Enterprise 2.0 tools in the workplace (blogs, wikis, and social networking/messaging) in 2009.
  • The data also show that security concerns remain high, access is actually fairly low, compliance with mainstream enterprise data practices is poor, and some workers aren’t planning to get anywhere near them.
  • Nearly one in two businesses will make use of Enterprise 2.0 software in 2009.
  • Forrester
  • actual employee access to the said tools is fairly low
  • Business use of social networking has rough parity with personal use, while a quarter of people are not planning to use the tools at all.
  • TMCnet and IntelliCom Analytics
  • consistent business use of the social networking tools tools across organizations of all sizes and around the globe, ranging from 35% to almost half,
  • Also, some workers are determined to be disengaged, with about 25% reporting no plans to use social networks, period.
  • Concerns about the security issues with social computing is high, around 80%.
  • Pretexting and phishing are now widely regarded as a serious threat
  • At least 50 percent of organizations will use wikis as important work collaboration toos in 2009.
  • Society for Information Management’s Advanced Practices Council (APC)
  • Management of content types like SMS/text messages, blogs and wikis are largely off the corporate radar in 75% of organizations
  • AIIM State of ECM Report for 2009
  • A major change has taken place in many organizations over the last year and so there is imbalance and uncertain about how to best use the resources at hand.
  • Using the right tool for the job while at the same time understanding that the Enterprise 2.0 tools change the very nature of the job is going to be essential for achieving good outcomes in virtually every organization.
  • Blogs, wikis, and activity streams (those event lists in apps like Facebook and Twitter that tell you what’s happening in near real-time)
  • The intrinsic design of these tools creates much more of a usable, accessible information ecosystem than traditional tools. These traditional tools can create powerful, local information flows but little build-up of value over time or collective intelligence. In other words, the new social tools change enterprise knowledge flow by making it more social, more open and public, discoverable, and ultimately, the most leverageable.
  • When should social tools be used for getting work done and when should the older, traditional tools be used that keep information submerged and unusable by the rest of the organization.
  • Hint: The create the most value for the organization (and themselves), workers should generally default to social tools unless the information is highly sensitive.

• Google Wave

  Snip “Google Wave is a new communication service previewed today at Google I/O. “A wave is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.”
