“[the Web is bringing about]… a number of deep, long-term transformations in the culture, structure, process and economics of work. We are shifting from closed and hierarchic workplaces with rigid employment relationships to increasingly self-organized, distributed and collaborative human capital networks that draw knowledge and resources from inside and outside the firm.”

Is the Glass half-empty or half-full?
“A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It’s the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong.”
Spoken by the character Valentine Coverly in Tom Stoppard’s play Arcadia.

Barriers to effective Web Use• Biggest Barrier:
– Culture, which is rooted in the way things have been successfully done in the past.
• Easier to address:
─ Inflated expectations about the speed or degree of payoff from social media tools
─ Inadequate user support, which can lead to Early frustration with attempts to use the tools (e.g., log-in problems)
─ Overly complex tools with too many features and options (Sharepoint)
