Enterprise 2.0 and Process Killing

I’m convinced that enterprise 2.0 doesn’t mean processes hunt in purpose to play a pure informal game but offers new opportunities to take the most of informal and non-structured assets.

What is a knowledgeworker 2.0 ?

I think there’s a kind of poeople which counts, today, much more than digital natives because they are already within the organization and sometimes are a part of top management.
