The 2.0 Adoption Council Podcast Series

Welcome to our Podcast Series.

Every month you’ll hear from our members and industry experts who will share their experiences and insights relative to bringing 2.0 philosophies and practices into the enterprise. As one of our members stated recently, “It is a journey in organizational transformation, not a sprint to deploy some platform or tool.” There are nuances to being successful as an “internal evangelist.” And there are many great insights from fans and friends who’ve been looking at this space for a long while. We hope to share this journey with you via our podcast series.

Our first podcast [21 minutes 29 seconds] features charter member Megan Murray. Megan discusses the unique beginnings for Booz Allen Hamilton’s social platform, HELLO.bah.com, along with where the company is today, some of the unique challenges, and what they would have done differently had they not been such an early adopter.

Click here to listen to the podcast.

Megan answers the following questions:

How did the the whole movement get started and when?
What would you have done differently if you started today?
What were the biggest misunderstandings of Enterprise 2.0 when you introduced it?
Where are you on the roadmap to full deployment?

I’m Megan Murray (@MeganMurray) with Booz Allen Hamilton. I’ve worked with the firm for 11 years as part of our Systems Resource Center, an emerging technology group focused on keeping our staff aware of the latest in just about every aspect of technology. In 2006 we stood up our first internal wiki. At the same time we began thinking about a tool for a more social network that we could develop as a working example. When a firm wide information sharing initiative arose, our team was tasked with creating our social platform, hello.bah.com. I am a community manager, and a member of the strategy team focused on development, infrastructure, and ongoing evolution of the tools and use of the site.

Our next podcast will feature Claire Flanagan (@cflanagan) from CSC.

Enterprise 2.0: The Next Narrative

susan.scrupski@dachisgroup.com (Susan Scrupski) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:57:44 +0000

Enterprise 2.0 was launched in the spring of 2006 as a result of Andrew McAfee’s case study interviews in 2005 on Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (DrKW), an investment bank in London. The story unfolded after he and his team studied the work of J.P. Rangaswami, who was then Global CIO of the bank. It’s sometimes surprising to me when I realize how much has changed since those early days.

SAP and The 2.0 Adoption Council

susan.scrupski@dachisgroup.com (Susan Scrupski) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:22:40 +0000

As part of my role helping evangelize the use of social media within SAP , I am a proud member of the 2.0 Adoption Council, a group devoted to creating and sharing best practices in Enterprise 2.0 adoption (see the “Web 2.0 in SAP” section of this site for more information about internal Web 2.0 deployments at SAP).

As explained on the council website at www.20adoptioncouncil.com, the council members are:

‘…a collection of managers in large enterprises that are charting the course for 2.0 adoption. Although we may use different platforms and tools, we all share a common enthusiasm for bringing a new way of working to our representative companies. We call ourselves “internal evangelists” and some say we have one of the most difficult, yet exciting jobs in the global marketplace.’

Un nuovo anno di Enterprise 2.0

susan.scrupski@dachisgroup.com (Susan Scrupski) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:21:59 +0000

In ormai più di tre anni di impegno in prima linea nell’arena dell’Enterprise 2.0 posso dire di aver vissuto una forte e costante evoluzione di questo dominio per quanto riguarda la sua stessa definizione, la maturità edisponibilità di strumenti, la diffusione nelle aziende, le resistenze, lemetodologie di introduzione e la consapevolezza da parte del management del suo ruolo nel futuro del business.

Nonostante questo frenetico ed a volte sorprendente percorso di evoluzione, credo fermamente che il 2010 segnerà un ulteriore cambiamento di pelle dell’Enterprise 2.0, quantomeno nelle direzioni seguenti…

Framework for 2.0 Adoption in the Enterprise.

susan.scrupski@dachisgroup.com (Susan Scrupski) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:07:34 +0000

The 2.0 Adoption Council has published a research report that I wrote for them and I want you to purchase a copy of it.

If you go now and get the report, then you don’t have to read the rest of this post, because you will already understand it. If you are still here, let me share why it is important for you to have this report.

We understand that the underlying goals of Enterprise 2.0 is to improve the workplace. And we find that the “2.0″ world offers inspiration, technologies, and insight into how to create this improvement. We see that Enterprise 2.0 is increasingly relevant to many companies in many industries, in many parts of the world. It’s not a passing fad. There’s enough solid evidence (quantitative investment data and qualitative success stories) collected over the past few years that points to Enterprise 2.0 as a growing marketplace and mainstream business activity. And yet, we still have much to learn to continue to fuel this marketplace, and many barriers to deal with along the way.
