The Learning Layer Takes Aspects of Enterprise 2.0 a Step Further <span class="“> – Annotated
“Here is an interesting idea that has been well articulated in a new book, The Learning Layer by Steven Flinn. I recently had a chance to speak with Steve about this marriage of aspects of Web 2.0 and artificial intelligence (aka adaptive systems) that can have useful applications within the enterprise.”
-
use of personalized responses based on user behavior has been pervasive on the consumer Web through such things as Amazon’s recommendations. However, this technology has been applied much less within the enterprise
-
Not only are personalized recommendations provided to individual users based on their behavior and the behavior of others, but the system feeds these recommendations back to itself to continuously adapt on an automated basis

The approach can be applied to work flow and here it gets even more interesting in my opinion. Just as old school knowledge management created more direct business value when aligned to business processes, I see the same thing happening here

So-Called “Digital Natives” Not Media Savvy, New Study Shows <span class="“> – Annotated
“That may not be true, as it turns out. A new study coming out of Northwestern University, discovered that college students have a decided lack of Web savvy, especially when it comes to search engines and the ability to determine the credibility of search results. Apparently, the students favor search engine rankings above all other factors. The only thing that matters is that something is the top search result, not that it’s legit. “
-
Only 10% of the students made mention of the site’s author or that author’s credentials while completing tasks.
-
, only a third of the students used Wikipedia to search for answers when given particular tasks.
-

What is new about enterprise 2.0?
“When looking at the case studies and the product offering, it is not always clear “what is different and what is new†about Enterprise 2.0.
In the study proposal, we came up with the following table. Is it accurate? Is it complete? Is it clear enough to distinguish Enterprise 2.0?”

“Last year at the World Business Forum, when Gary called open source one of the greatest management innovations of the 21st century, there was some serious high-fiving going on amongst us open source business types.

-
Thus the MIX gives every progressive management innovator the chance to share a little and learn a lot
