Enterprise Web 2.0: barriers and answers

Rod Boothby has written a blog post that provides answers to Enterprise 2.0 barriers (which were listed by Jerry Bowles). To quote:

In the end, the adoption of Enterprise Web 2.0 technology is an issue of both risk and reward. Risk management is about balancing the risks with the business benefits. Enterprise IT is slowing the adoption of Web 2.0 because they are only familiar with the risk side of the equation. Isolated from the profit centers, enterprise IT only thinks about how things could go wrong, and then comes up with the logical answer of NO.

I'm not sure I agree with much of these discussions, as they are very technology-centric, and don't reflect a good understanding of staff motivations and work practices. Still, it's good t see the debate happening around where intranets (etc) should be going next...
