Welcome to the Social Enterprise: A Discussion of Enterprise 2.0 Applications and Concepts
Chris Dykstra, Founding Partner, Warecorp
While many companies are trying to figure out how to keep My Space and Facebook out of the workplace, some are figuring out how to use the natural organizing power of social networks to benefit their businesses. We will spend our time reviewing key Web 2.0 concepts, extending them to the enterprise, then identify and discuss emerging trends.
