Enterprise 2.0 is about the use of Web 2.0 technologies (like social technologies and media, blogs, wikis, etc.) at the enterprise level. It is about communication, collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Fundamentally, Enterprise 2.0 is about "breaking barriers" within and across companies, and this is a journey that is just beginning. It is great to see financial firms--traditionally maximal-control organizations due to culture and regulations -- to consider openness initiatives and to have a strong conviction that this is "the future". Another great example of the power of IT to transform all aspects of business and to create the future!
The great presentation spawned a lively discussion about Enterprise 2.0 in Financial firms and related obstacles (e.g. legal department...), cost-allocation issues, and opportunities.
As usual, the meeting of the Fordham CIO Roundtable took place at Fordham's Lincoln Center location (Lowenstein Hall, 113 W. 60th Street). Participants include many CIOs and IT execs and managers from the greater NY area and faculty members of the Information and Communication Systems (ICS) area of Fordham U. Business Schools. The CIO Roundtable is co-ordinated by Professor Aditya Saharia and it meets once per month.
