At Enterprise 2.0 Boston Conference this week I attended a discussion about the details of the Open Enterprise research by Oliver Marks and Stowe Boyd. While listening to folks talk about their insights into making e20 work, someone asked about stories of failure - where people are really struggling with e20 in their organization. It’s natural that those who feel their efforts have really gained ground want to share the story. Not as likely to hear from those who are frustrated in their efforts.
So I thought I might share some of challenges and lessons learned after nearly a year at Johnson & Johnson attempting to build collaboration, community and e20 for a virtual organization of about 1000 Global Procurement professionals.
