Thank you. It's a good thing not to forget that E2.0 technologies are great, but they will never do the job alone. I believe that in the course of time more people and companies will discover that democratization is not an end in itself. It will bring positive results for the whole organization. E2.0 technologies are able to <a href="http://www.wrike.com/projectmanagement/10/08/2008/Economic-Downturn-is-Time-to-Innovate" rel="nofollow">empower people and catalyze the change in processes</a>. That's the point of E2.0. It's a good thing that more and more of us begin to understand it. Great post. Thank you.

I agree with both you and Chris - and Thomas' point. While here in Australia the economy is somewhat protected compared to the US, we are facing major market difficulties and significant reductions in IT spend. But I think all of us are seeing clients and leads progressively more interested in bringing non-IT savings across the enterprise by people like us helping out by mentoring and encouraging cultural change and helping out with implementations of free (or low cost) tools that encourage a 2.0 (stupid phrase, but we know what it means) way of working.

My feelings are that I'm going to be really busy in 2009 helping mid-sized enterprise customers align some of these social software tools with business initiatives, especially if some of them can reduce costs, can improve flexibility of operations, and can equip a company for holding themselves up a bit during the tighter times. Will MOST companies go this way? I'm thinking not. IT directors are often quite fond of what licenses they already own. It's hard to unseat enterprise players. But maybe companies who are expanding a bit, but can't risk the capital. That'd be MY target. Great post. I’m totally with you, Jevon.
