What do Enterprise 2.0 and weight loss fads have in common?

First off, I'll admit the concept might be a stretch, but work with me here. Two of the hottest topics currently in debate regarding E2.0 are ROI and adoption. We agree, we disagree, we agree to disagree, and round and round we go.

And that's fine. It's healthy actually. But I think we often talk in high-level terms when it comes to E2.0, and in order to make E2.0 a business success, we need to get down to the nitty-gritty.

Business content comes from all over. Not only do companies aggregate structured and unstructured information from various sources in traditional Intranets, but also they're confronted with the handling of other content types such as blogs, microblogs, wikis, forums, micro feeds and profile pages.

The number of solutions to handle different content types is exploding. Like the name "Intranet," the names of these solutions are all over the place with little agreement on what's the right name for it.

I was talking about Enterprise 2.0 with the management team of a large publishing company a little while back, hitting all the familiar topics: ROI, risks and threats, whether Millennials really are different than older workers, and so on.

You can't rely on the authority that comes from your job title.

We all keep hearing about the incredible growth of social media Web sites like Facebook, but the real social media revolution is happening inside companies, such as Humana, Nike, Nokia, Eli Lilly and IBM.

They're changing the ways they work, as they adopt enterprise collaboration technologies.

As important as the intranet has become, it will never replace face-to-face communications. Building the bridge between the two is social communications.  

Effective internal communications (employee communications) requires an integrated strategy with a well-rounded arsenal of communication vehicles and tactics – and both the intranet and social media should figure prominently.
