Since our first interview with Dr. Frank Schoenefeld was in German, we have asked him another four questions about his ideas regarding Enterprise 2.0 and its implementation.

Interview with Dr. Frank Schoenefeld of T-Systems MMS (in German!)

What to do if you are stuck having to facilitate sharing amongst a large group of institutions?

So hopefully it’s clear at this point that I am a big believer in everyone, no matter what their role in an organization, developing their own personal learning network/environment. But the reality is, you and I are going to get asked for years to come to help groups who say they want to share. So what do we do. Well, if you can, my advice is to provision as little tech as possible and urge an approach that focuses on the sharing and the network creation first. But if you must provide a single “platform,” my advice is to focus on providing one with these three simple pieces:

• a simple way to find out who else is out there (profile, even just a directory)
• some simple channels to communicate: email lists/addresses, threaded discussions
• a simple way to publish content

That’s it. Maybe a synchronous tool. If the need and desire to share is real, these basic means (which really, they already have access to, but sometimes you need to build them a new one, after all we all like to feel special sometimes) are ALL THEY NEED TO SHARE. You see, at the end of the day, that’s all any of us, who started building our personal learning networks with, say, blogs, actually had. And it worked. It works every day. - SWL

As sharing is one of the most important principles for Enterprise 2.0 initiatives to work this article gives some remarkable insight on it.

Much discussion was about breaking down the corporate silos to further adoptions of social media tools to improve overall communication. But to quote Paula Thornton – “there is an issue greater than adoption at play here: hesitation to recognize the breadth and depth of adaptation that needs to occur across the entire enterprise and every aspect of the business model.”

Knowledge Work between virtualized apps and social applications ...

I believe that people who don’t see what Google Wave is for are simply looking at it from the wrong angle. Wave is not a social tool. It’s not Twitter, it’s not GTalk, it’s not Facebook. It was never designed to appeal to the crowds of geeks who are currently trying it out.

Wave is built for the corporate environment. It’s a tool for getting work done. And as far as those go, it’s an excellent tool, even at this very early stage.

It will probably take years before Wave fully penetrates large corporations and replaces the email systems everyone is used to. But it solves so many thorny problems with email that it might well manage to do so, where so many other tentative “email fixes” have failed.

Thomas Pfeiffer lädt zum Test eines sozialen Social Media Monitoring Ansatzes ein - Twingly - der jetzt auch sogenannte Channels anbietet.

"Ein Channel ist zunächst nichts anderes als ein Such-Abonnement auf einen bestimmten Begriff (oder mehrere davon) für die Blog- und Microblogsuche. Angereichert werden die Suchergebnisse in den Channels durch zusätzliche Quellen (rss-Feeds z.B. von Blogs), die der Channel-Administrator selbstständig hinzufügen kann."

Hmm, erinnert mich ein bisschen an Socialmedian und Twine, andererseits ist zumindest ersteres nicht mehr am Markt sondern in Xing "aufgegangen"
