I agree with Terry that this is more about ...Hi GG,<br />I agree with Terry that this is more about changes in power structures due to information sharing, than about OD.<br />A related thought is that, (as I've tweeted), the most topical example that comes to my mind, is the current discomfiture around 'Minister Twitter' in the political party in power.anupama ramanahttp://www.twitter.com/anuki25noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623132.post-1155212349831207762006-08-10T17:49:00.000+05:302006-08-10T17:49:00.000+05:30www.goldenbeggar.comA new web 2.0 companywww.goldenbeggar.com<BR/>A new web 2.0 companyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623132.post-1152653147113463552006-07-12T02:55:00.000+05:302006-07-12T02:55:00.000+05:30Gautam,Saw this post referenced on Successful Blog...Gautam,<BR/>Saw this post referenced on Successful Blogs by Liz Strauss. I posted a comment on her blog about how Web 2.0 is making possible connections like this--I would have never heard of you 5 years ago. While WEB 2.0 offers great promise, I believe a lot of U.S. companies are way behind in using the technology to open up communication within their organizations. Blame much of this on the fear of IT departments related to security, etc. <BR/><BR/>Also I think control issues play into this with some senior and mid level managers fearing the loss of control over information which equates to power (if you control the information) in many organizations. Trust is also a big issue or the lack there of, around deploying new technology. <BR/><BR/>As with anything, using OD technology or tools can be helpful, however there is no magic fairy dust. We can offer assistance with our understanding of OD and technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623132.post-1152535527476628562006-07-10T18:15:00.000+05:302006-07-10T18:15:00.000+05:30Hey GG,I just blogged about this yesterday:http://...Hey GG,<BR/>I just blogged about this yesterday:<BR/><BR/>http://learningvoyager.blogspot.com/2006/07/if-you-want-innovation-empower-people.html<BR/><BR/>We must be on the same wavelength!<BR/><BR/>I am intrigued by the linkage to OD because, as I see it, most OD folks wouldn't know a blog or a wiki from a sewing machine. Hopefully that will change...<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>TerryTerrence Seamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474689673406427999noreply@blogger.com
