Just when IT is being hel d increasingly accountable for\n business-focused results\, Enterprise 2.0 can give IT the potent new tools for\n end-users to apply general -purpose collaborative tools in innovative new ways\n to solve both lo ng-term and just-in-time business problems more cost-effectively.\n\n Technologies such as blogs and wikis are just the beginning of the sto ry\n however. Enterprise 2.0 has the potential to unleash the power o f network\n effects\, mass participation\, and emergent business solut ions. The resulting\n capture of organizational knowledge in a more p ublic\, discoverable fashion via\n enterprise search enabled by the li nk structure of Enterprise 2.0 Web apps is\n just one of several poten tially beneficial outcomes. IT departments can then\n become the enab ler of these emergent solutions by allowing controlled access\n and re use of existing IT resources and platforms.\n\n Being successful with Enterprise 2.0 requires a clear understanding of the\n critical succes s factors. Because\, as rewarding as Enterprise 2.0 has the\n potenti al to be\, technical and organizational challenges exist in accessing\ n its potential. For example\, adopters of Enterprise 2.0 techniques must define\n internal Enterprise 2.0 standards\, oversee compliance t o industry and\n governmental regulations\, protect the privacy of par ticipants\, and secure the\n organization's information while successf ully encouraging workers to move to\n these new tools.\n\n Ultimately\ , the core challenge for an Enterprise 2.0 initiative is to\n transfor m the culture of their organization to use fewer private software tool s\, openly\n sharing more business information\, and be knowledgeable about and effective in\n consuming worker-generated content \, all the while maintaining minimal\n disruption to business activities.\n\n Yo u will leave Exploring Enterprise 2.0 with the knowledge and skills yo u need\n to begin an Enterprise 2.0 initiative within your organizatio n.
