Enterprise 2.0 the "next small thing"?

Interesting post on the Fastforward blog reporting on Tom Davenport and Andrew McAfee's disagreement over the scale of impact that Enterprise 2.0 will have.

I think it's true that some organisations are simply not well suited to using these kinds of tools, or at least not yet - but for those that are ready, and have the culture to support it, they can't fail to see the benefits. And frankly, if I worked in an organisation that was happy to empower its employees in this way, I don't think I'd want to then go backwards and work for someone else that didn't.

I also agree with the comments that the next generation of managers, who've grown up using these types of technology, will take these ways of working for granted. My recent experience of working with people who are still at university is that they've no fear at all of new tools, they just want to know 'how can I use this to make my life easier?' - and if there isn't a way, then they'll invent one.
