Social tools debate: review from Peter Anthony
February 23, 2007 – 9:54 amPeter Anthony (member of the Gurteen google group and IT director for Richemont) wrote a review of the social tools debate at the knowledge cafe recently:
On the whole, the majority agreed that the spread of Web 2.0 tools inside the organization was inevitable. It was only a matter of time. What was less clear was what would be their true benefits, what transformation they would generate. What is happening on the public web can give us some clues but it is indeed difficult to foresee exactly their impact on the workplace. Nevertheless, this is not a reason for not starting to use them, maybe just one to be cautious and not move too fast. But that’s ok, that was also the case with email back in the 90’s.
