This has also been important for organizations implementing SOA. SOA represents a transformation in the way the organization operates by bringing the IT department closer to lines of business. Executive sponsorship is crucial, as seen from many successful SOA implementations. Further, internal politics is often a major contributor to difficulties with SOA, especially as services and resources are now shared. I’d guess much of this translates to Enterprise 2.0 as well. Maybe companies having implemented SOA have IT departments and people that are more positive to these new 2.0 tools?
