Yourdan's deck on 2.0

I've been reading some of your posts Susan and look forward to seeing more interaction with your audience. I'm new to BSGConcours and am looking forward to working with you and others on this topic. I come from the "traditional IT" route but my interests are in OD so the Next Generation Enterprise, Web 2.0 and all that will be required of enterprises to actually leverage these technologies is of great interest to me.
I believe the way millenials accomplish things is very different than the approaches we use with our current workforce and see that companies wil need to make major adjustments to attain their goals. At my previous company (a Fortune 100 company) we used wiki's with our application development teams very successfully. We also were able to get a large portion of "early adopters" to use IM, however, many executives still rely on emails. The scourge of endless email strings is one of the biggest productivity inhibitors in companies today. The prospect of implementing web 2.0 collaboration environments in a large company is a daunting one. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this topic.
Incidentally, I'm in the PhD program of the largest virtual graduate university in the country: Fielding
Even though they're virtual, the online collaboration environment could use an upgrade to 2.0 technologies, so as a start I've been encouraging my colleagues to blog at Blogger or Wordpress. One of my study groups has a private blog where we share our experiences and notes about the faculty and coursework - it serves as a psuedo-wiki.
