Oliver Marks and I have launched the Open Enterprise 2009 research study (see Open Enterprise 2009: Research Study and Report, and A four minute discussion of Open Enterprise 2009). We will be working over the next six months to research the state of Web 2.0 tools, architecture and techniques in the enterprise, their adoption, application and impact.
We will be crowdsourcing some of the research agenda development through the use of Uservoice, here on this blog. The study will be based on an open research model, involving crowdsourcing of the studies major questions, the companies to be profiled, technologies to be investigated, visionaries to be contacted. Add your recommendations and vote on the suggestions of others. We will be combing through those contributions, and studying them for ideas and themes.
Along with an on-going stream of research notes, interviews, and preliminary findings, Oliver and I are planning to distill what we have learned in the form of a comprehensive report which will will make available in late summer 2009.
We will be distributing an executive summary of the report — as well as a final presentation (and perhaps an executive seminar) at the Enterprise 2.0 conference 22-25 June 2009 in Boston.
We have also agreed to an interim report at the end of March at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.
