I responded to Tom Davenport article on Why Enterprise 2.0 Won't Transform Organizations.
Tom, imply that knowledge sharing in enterprise will not evolve with Web 2.0 technologies.

As I am convinced it will, here is my response:
Tom,

I believe Enterprise 2.0 will be a big thing. It will take a significant amount of time, it may not be the next one, but it will.

Like a lot of technology it will change its name as it evolve and mature. The current E2.0 tools are in their second generation within 2 years you will have the third. Once the increase of productivity is proven and the tools/software integrated in the enterprises process and organization, a real evolution in enterprise will begin.

Take our small company, we are part of a new type of business that have fully integrated web 2.0 technologies.

Its started with the marketing, using blogs, forums, web 2.0 sites to build up awareness. Then we started integrating in house a Wiki, RSS Agregator, bookmarking software, web based email and groupware. Followed by Jabber instant messaging and Asterisk Voip PBX.

What happened next was a big thing, a significant evolution in our company. Inspired by MySQL organizational model we closed our head quarter office in Los Angeles where we had all our employees.

The company exploded in multiple small offices all over the world, Los Angeles, London, Bangalore, Paris.

Since then we have triple our profits and increased our growth.

Instant Message, wiki, voip, intranet and email make the backbone of our knowledge exchange.

All our applications are web based. Email, groupware, CRM, helpdesk, project management, CMS, intranet, accounting, invoicing, wiki, rss agregator, bookmarks, blogs.

Those technology enabled us to reorganized the company much more efficiently.

Enterprise 2.0 contribute to the global flattening.

As companies like ours grow and take advantages of Web 2.0 technologies to increase productivity, profit and employee satisfaction new organizational charts will defined, new management rules created, knowledge sharing optimized.

That what will make Enterprise 2.0 the future big thing.

I don't see big companies do what we did next week but I see it as a sure evolution that will affect the enterprise world overtime.
