- Why Best Practices Are Hard to Practice by Ron Ashkenas on Harvard Business Review
Quote: One of the characteristics of great companies is that they actively learn from others.

- Heretical Thinking: Enterprise 2.0 is Dead by Bob Warfield on SmoothSpan Blog
Quote: The Business Social Scene has rolled forward under the banner of the Consumerization of IT and not much else.

They’ve made it possible to visit the water cooler without leaving your desk, but that’s hardly an excuse for big ROI payoff.
