Just look at what happens in the public since social software is in town: Wikipedia became the larget encyclopedia, millions of weblogs change the media landscape and it all leads towards democratized innovation. All the opinions and ideas expressed in Weblogs are a sign of and trigger new innovation. Additionally, there's what I call the "freedom of collaboration": leave a comment wherever you want, add a trackback, edit a Wiki page. Anyone can contribute to a network of free innovation. Take this into the corporate space and you have Enterprise 2.0: Colleagues who might have never seen each other, but read and comment on each others blogs, edit Wiki pages, etc. Transfer social media and collaborative encyclopedias into the enterprise and you'll get an environment where individuals' expertise is being valued higher, simply because it can express itself better ... which is all about democratizing innovation.
