First, again thank you for the mention, and for being open minded enough to suggest people download and read the report themselves. As for the anomaly in the data - high degree of criticality yet most do not really know succinctly what it is - glad you noticed. We too were amazed by this. The report offers many other data points and much analysis, providing some explanations for this. Succinctly put, there appears to be much buss around the concept, and because of the ease with which some of this functionality can be played with (e.g. a wiki here a blog there), many are experimenting with E20 components, but very few organizations have yet to embark on an enterprise strategic approach to leveraging Enterprise 2.0. (OK - maybe that wasn't so succinct.) This is why most organizations that attempted an ROI on their E20 initiatives did not succeed. All is not rosy. I hope the report offers a 360 degree view to all this. That was our intention. The short blurb you read, and commented on, doe stake some of this out of context. Again thanks for noticing. Niall:

I believe if you dive into the 80+ pages of the report, you'll see that while people may not know Enterprise 2.0 from a "system level" standpoint, they understand many of the components. It's very similar to Web 2.0 - definitions are all over the place for Web 2.0, and yet that doesn't stop people from saying "we need to do Web 2.0!" That doesn't mean it's the BEST approach to decision making, but that's another discussion. Jump back to the early days of the Web - and the clamor to get on the web, many times, for no good reason, and with a much higher cost than was sane. Arguably, a fair number of companies STILL don't get Web 1.0 (even though they would claim otherwise), but they certainly believe it's important if not critical to their business. I believe that we have helped to elevate the discussion just a tad here. It's early days all around, but the movement for Enterprise 2.0 is definitely afoot. That said, have at it folks - the research itself is free, as is the webinar tomorrow. Might be a bumpy ride, but I think we're all onto something here. Niall - thanks for the link to our research.
