Web 2.0 – A Revolution or Not So Much?
March 26, 2008
From a Harvard Business Review blog comes a response to an earlier post by Tom Davenport on Enterprise 2.0 and Knowledge Management. How different are the two. Is Web 2.0 within the enterprise a revolution or is it overhyped as he suggests?
I am not sure that Web 2.0 has had a chance in the enterprise environment enough to see what it can do. Opportunities to use RSS for secure data feeds, open blogging and social networks are limited to some tech companies, IBM being a good example. And how about within conservative health care organizations? Have more than small initiatives take root? Is it realistic for nurses or physicians working long hours utilizing these tools to improve medical practice while they are challenged by learning EMRs and other clinical systems?
Perhaps educational environments such as medical and nursing schools should be the place to experiment so that the graduates can bring Web 2.0 to the health care enterprise in the next few years.
