The people at the top expect everyone else to do as they say. They are not used to, or indeed welcome, the opinions of those they employ. Organisations who embrace the concept of Enterprise 2.0 fully will have to give up some of their power and enable the workforce and other stakeholders to contribute to the success of their organisation. Those who follow this path will, I believe, reap many benefits from the knowledge thus levered and maintained and, over time, will give these enlightened organisations a competitive advantage over the remaining dinosaurs.
