Enterprise 1.0 versus 2.0

While the differences between Enterprise 1.0 and 2.0 are grey at best, we can attempt to draw some segmentation by reviewing the high level characteristics.  The following table provides a side by side comparison of these technologies.

Enterprise 1.0 Characteristics Enterprise 2.0 Characteristics
Static Content Dynamic Content
Producer Based Information Participatory Based Information
Messages Pushed to Consumer Messages Pulled by Consumer
Institutional Control Individual Enabled
Top Down Implementation Bottom Up Implementation
Users Search and Browse Users Publish and Subscribe
Transactional Based Interactions Relationship Based Interactions
Goal of Mass Adoption Goal of Niche Adoption
Taxonomy Folksonomy

In the Web 1.0 environment, information was largely static and controlled by a few resources.  Specifically, the individual or organization that produced this information pushed information to the end user by either controlling the access or limiting the feedback options.  Web 2.0 turns that model around and create a far greater dynamic environment where each consumer has the ability to contribute to the overall value of the information itself.  Instead of searching and browsing topics, Web 2.0 users are allowed to publish and subscribe to the content which results is a more bottom up implementation.

Sounds like real "lean" organizations are going to be the enterprises 2.0 of the future.

Looking forward to the coming changes that are presently lying under the surface of what we see in daily business right now.

Is there a right time to come up? I would say, there always is some hole to step out of the waters of "daily business" to create a truely sustainable customer driven economy.

Let's take the steps together:-)
