Susan Scrupski, aka @ITSInsider, has called the 2.0 Adoption Council into being. Taking a casual idea floated one morning over a cup of coffee at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston between Susan, a colleague from Alcatel and myself, and running with it, Susan has almost overnight created one of the most interesting and vibrant groups I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Here's her call to action:
Listening to customers during the conference, as well as culling the data that has been coming in from various surveys, I’ve decided the time is right to launch a community for “Internal 2.0 Evangelists.” As I’ve been a 2.0 Evangelist for the broader sector (and I thought my job was difficult), I realized the job of the internal evangelist is far, far more difficult. These folks toggle between fighting the good fight every day and then slipping uneasily into a sort of DMZ where they can peek out into the broader community for support and the rejuvenation they need to go on fighting another day. It’s often a thankless job with no clear roadmap for advancement, yet the majority of them do it because they believe in the principles of the 2.0 movement. I celebrate them!
(that's me, standing on the right of the picture on Susan's blog, and directly to my right, seated, is CSC's Sherri Hartlen-Neely)
There's a public-facing blog, a Facebook page, and a Twitter stream to follow, if you're interested. Members are using some other Enterprise 2.0 tools to communicate and collaborate amongst themselves. Here's a logo collection -- it's already outdated, notably missing my pals from SAP, EMC and many others that have already joined in the few days since Susan made this picture:
I think this is a big deal, and I think it says a lot that CSC is right out in the "leaders" quadrant, so to speak, on this issue. As a friend of mine from SAP put it, upon getting invited to join, "this members list reads like a Who's Who of Enterprise 2.0!" I'm excited by the opportunity to share knowledge with these folks, and learn from them even more, and I'm excited by the opportunity I see for CSC in this space.
