Catching Up … Social Software And The Enterprise

September 5, 2006 in Main Page | No comments

I originally started this blog (and my wirearchy site) because of my conviction that hyperlinks subvert hierarchy (as David Weinberger has pointed out repeatedly, whether that is always a good thing is another question entirely) and that organizational structures and processes still firmly implanted throughout the corporate world were rapidly approaching obsolescence.

And, in my infrequent moments of possible wisdom, I realized (and have even written about) the probability that there would be massive resistance, and that real change would be slow. Many many others have recognized this, and added to the realization that changes to structures and cultures relating to the industrial age and industrial worldviews about efficiency and productivity would be hard-won and in large part slow in coming. A relatively recent (January 2006) article in The Economist titled The New Organization seemed to back up my (and others) point of view.
