Challenges to Enterprise 2.0 adoption
by Joe McKendrick
Enterprise 2.0 adoption is on the rise, with a majority of companies in a new survey planning to increase their funding of E2.0 projects. These are the results of a survey conducted by organizers of the upcoming Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston. (Details provided in a white paper available at the E2.0 site.)
The survey also found organizations are slow to change to E2.0-style thinking. The leading impediments to E2.0 include the following:
| Resistance to change | 52% |
| Difficulty in measuring ROI | 42% |
| Integrating with existing technologies . | 41% |
| Security concerns | 32% |
| Budget | 25% |
| Product knowledge | 23% |
| Tools not enterprise ready | 22% |
Note that two out of five respondents are concerned about measuring return on investment. This is a matter that’s being hotly debated amomg E2.0 proponents.
