"For me, Enterprise 2.0 is best thought of as a set of technologies, not as a business philosophy. In fact, I am of the mind that if you approach Enterprise 2.0 as a business philosophy — or even worse, as a new philosophy — most likely you will be led astray."

Is IT innovation important for your organization? If so, the time has come to find a way to create enough slack resources in your IT shop to buy time and brain-cycles for your employees to have the best chance to succeed at it. Sure enough, IT innovation is again a hot topic in corporate boardrooms and IT shops, and we are working hard to do our part to help you navigate it. While this issue of CBR focuses on dynamic IT capabilities, our next issue will be on the emerging topic of open innovation. In short, open innovation is the orchestration of knowledge inflows and outflows designed to speed up and improve a firm's innovation cycle (but, be patient for now, a lot more next issue.)
