Welcome to the weekend!
As we continue to talk about enterprise collaboration and Enterprise 2.0 this week, you might find it shocking but not every organization is cut for E2.0. By looking at attitudes, behavior and corporate culture one might be able to assess whether the company is ready to invest in the latest and greatest technology in Enterprise 2.0. Just because everyone is doing enterprise collaboration doesn't mean everyone is actually ready for that leap.

- The Importance of Context: Why Enterprise 2.0 Still Fails to Deliver Value. This is not a measurability problem — it stems primarily from the rampant misapplication of consumer technologies in the form of point applications.
- Enterprise Collaboration: Get Your ROI Right. Industry has a profound effect on what the approach to the ROI of collaboration tools will be at an organization.
