We have a pretty robust set of enterprise2.0 apps and a large community of users. However, the consultants have not been the early adopters (although they're coming around). After many iterations of my presentation, there are four ideas that I hope my audience remembers:<br><br>1) Go try out what we have at our disposal. Start a blog, comment on others' blogs, bookmark sites, tag people, check out the wikis, meet people in other organizations and geographies who have interesting things to say and who might give you insight, help you build upon an idea, be more effective in your consulting. Do not talk to your client about this stuff in the abstract!<br><br>2) Any discussion about investing in enterprise2.0 must be tied to business value. What are the client's pain points and how can the technologies help them improve speed, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, improve employee morale? If value is not clear, the conversation is a non-starter. I recommend the use of scenarios to help companies figure it out. Also, I believe companies that do figure this out will have a leg up on their competition.<br><br>3) Adoption will not be easy. I talk about past technological frontiers and how when we first encountered them we had no idea how they would turn out. The continuum of leaders, followers, and naysayers were all there...and look we're still laughing at the email printers. So, just as we had people teaching people how to program their voicemail, use a mouse, and set up folders in their in-box, we're going to need to help people use the web2.0 stuff too. It may be intuitive for the kids and the enthusiasts, but for a lot of really intelligent people their brains click off when confronted with yet another new thing.<br><br>4)Finally, you're right, heavy handed approaches are not the way to drive adoption! But in all honesty, half the battle is awareness. Despite 10's if not 100's of thousands of people using these technologies at my company, I'm continually amazed to still find people say, \"now, what exactly is a (fill in the blank with your favorite 2.0 app)?<br><br>Your post has given me a number of new things to think about, and it validates some of my ideas...I just wish you'd written it a couple of days earlier.

At the end of six weeks, a number of things had happened.  The librarians had taken over the tools and made them their own in terms of look and feel and features.  They had figured out many interesting and powerful applications for them.  Now a year later, this program has been cloned at over 20 libraries.

The closest analog we have to E2.0 is knowledge management--another set of tools and processes designed to stimulate sharing and collaboration across enterprises. What we've learned there is that, with a few notable exceptions, adoption is a *huge* issue. That's because the incentives to collaborate (reputation enhancement, pats on the back, the warm glow of sharing what you know) do not typically outweigh the personal costs (loss of privileged knowledge status, increase in unwanted phone calls, etc.)<br>So is E2.0 sufficiently different from knowledge management that it will avoid KM's fate? The E2.0 technology doesn't do anything to reduce the personal costs of collaboration. But it does deliver certain personal benefits that knowledge management never could: reduced email levels, enhanced findability of critical content, automatic backup of critical files, etc. Will these benefits allow E2.0 to clear the adoption bar that knowledge management so ungracefully crashed into?

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5486756" class="dsq-comment-message">Andrew - your post is timely, I just created a presentation called, "Navigating the Web2.0 Frontier: helping organizations and their people adopt new technology." My talk is targeted at consultants at my company. We have a pretty robust set of enterprise2.0 apps and a large community of users. However, the consultants have not been the early adopters (although they\'re coming around). After many iterations of my presentation, there are four ideas that I hope my audience remembers:<br><br>1) Go try out what we have at our disposal. Start a blog, comment on others\' blogs, bookmark sites, tag people, check out the wikis, meet people in other organizations and geographies who have interesting things to say and who might give you insight, help you build upon an idea, be more effective in your consulting. Do not talk to your client about this stuff in the abstract!<br><br>2) Any discussion about investing in enterprise2.0 must be tied to business value. What are the client\'s pain points and how can the technologies help them improve speed, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, improve employee morale? If value is not clear, the conversation is a non-starter. I recommend the use of scenarios to help companies figure it out. Also, I believe companies that do figure this out will have a leg up on their competition.<br><br>3) Adoption will not be easy. I talk about past technological frontiers and how when we first encountered them we had no idea how they would turn out. The continuum of leaders, followers, and naysayers were all there...and look we\'re still laughing at the email printers. So, just as we had people teaching people how to program their voicemail, use a mouse, and set up folders in their in-box, we\'re going to need to help people use the web2.0 stuff too. It may be intuitive for the kids and the enthusiasts, but for a lot of really intelligent people their brains click off when confronted with yet another new thing.<br><br>4)Finally, you\'re right, heavy handed approaches are not the way to drive adoption! But in all honesty, half the battle is awareness. Despite 10\'s if not 100\'s of thousands of people using these technologies at my company, I\'m continually amazed to still find people say, "now, what exactly is a (fill in the blank with your favorite 2.0 app)?<br><br>Your post has given me a number of new things to think about, and it validates some of my ideas...I just wish you\'d written it a couple of days earlier. Cheers!</div>\

I suspect adoption will be varied across suite of E2.0 concepts and this will be directly related to measurable business value. <br><br>Wiki\'s for example may have a higher adoption rate because of their strong measurable tie in to business value.  Blogs on the other hand make several organizations nervous because of legal implications, confidentiality, "un-productiveness", etc...  The E2.0 suite of tools will look different then W2.0, as organizations morph the concepts and tailor them to business needs.  To suggest that internal corporate blogging is inevitable may be true, but to what extent?  For example, personal websites became popular in W1.0 as a means of expression.  I suspect we would have seen the same empty quarter picture here with recent grads & techno-savvy individuals building their personal sites.  It didn\'t translate directly into the enterprise. Internal sites are often goverened, not personal, branded, etc...  Even policies on access to the Internet varies across companies. Will this happen to blogs? Will we govern them and lose the value of transparency?  Is it restricted technology?  <br><br>How we persue adoption has direct implications on what we adopt.  I don\'t see it being the same across all organizations, and therefore as a practitoner, these early years are key to setting up the framework adoption upon which we will grow in the next 5 years.</div>\

Yes there will be those for whom it will never work and those for whom it will work only a little but for the rest there is huge and exciting potential. All those of us involved in this space can do is make it happen more easily and possibly slightly faster and IMHO the way to do that is being understated, patient and persistent.<br><br>Perhaps rather facetiously I just <a href="http://theobvious.typepad.com/blog/2007/03/enterprise_20.html" rel="nofollow">wrote on my blog</a> - "It struck me as funny to turn something into a thing when it doesn\'t need to be and to then make that thing seem harder than it needs to be!"</div>\

The closest analog we have to E2.0 is knowledge management--another set of tools and processes designed to stimulate sharing and collaboration across enterprises. What we\'ve learned there is that, with a few notable exceptions, adoption is a *huge* issue. That\'s because the incentives to collaborate (reputation enhancement, pats on the back, the warm glow of sharing what you know) do not typically outweigh the personal costs (loss of privileged knowledge status, increase in unwanted phone calls, etc.)<br>So is E2.0 sufficiently different from knowledge management that it will avoid KM\'s fate? The E2.0 technology doesn\'t do anything to reduce the personal costs of collaboration. But it does deliver certain personal benefits that knowledge management never could: reduced email levels, enhanced findability of critical content, automatic backup of critical files, etc. Will these benefits allow E2.0 to clear the adoption bar that knowledge management so ungracefully crashed into? I suspect the answer is that it will for some enterprises, but not for others. And I suspect the outcome will have more to do with how the enterprise works than with the age or flickr habits of its workers.</div>\

Regardless of how useful it is (even if ten-fold), it is far from given that widespread adoption will happen and certainly not automatic. <br><br>In your post, you point out that users will vote with their feet and adopt only those technologies that make the most sense for them and that are easy to use. I would go one step further - in a corporate environment (unlike for the Internet at large), there are forces that will actually *obstruct* the rapid adoption of cutting-edge technologies - very often, the IT departments of large companies fall in this category. <br><br>The reasons are not particularly sinister - the problem is that the risk-reward profile for the IT group is often quite different (and in conflict) with that of the Enterprise at large; they have little to gain, and a great deal to lose, by encouraging early adoption of risky new technologies, even if those technologies could provide an overall competitive advantage in the medium term.<br><br>I recently posted a graph of these differing risk profiles here, on the Software Abstractions blog:<br><a href="http://blog.softwareabstractions.com/the_software_abstractions/2007/02/web_25_the_soci_1.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.softwareabstractions.com/the_softwa...</a></div>\

And like language learning, I have found the best way to gain adoption is immersion.  In a program that I developed for the American Library Association, 50 librarians were given a complete web 2.0 tool set (blogs, wikis, podcasting, and a directory) and were asked to immerse themselves in the tools and through that immersion develop applications for them. At the end of six weeks, a number of things had happened.  The librarians had taken over the tools and made them their own in terms of look and feel and features.  They had figured out many interesting and powerful applications for them.  Now a year later, this program has been cloned at over 20 libraries.  It has a very 2.0 structure and seems to be a powerful way to gain adoption.  Rather than "build it and they will come," the motto should be "Give us the tools and we will finish the job."

This is supported by figures from a Global Intranet Study I conducted in June - August 2006 with just over one hundred companies around the world.
