Salut Vince!
Thanks for your feedback. My simple way of thinking of Enterprise 2.0 is:
* The application of Web 2.0 tools and approaches inside organizations (see https://www.rossdawsonblog.com/weblog/archives/2007/05/launching_the_w.html) for what I think Web 2.0 is.
* The next version of how organizations will need to work in a hyper-connected, open economy.
J’ai lu votre blog et pensees avec interet – merci! Je parle et lis Francais, mais mon orthographe est pauvre, et j’ai jamais appris ecrire les accents sur un ordinateur :-(

Thanks Vishal!
I do think it is useful to focus specifically on governance, which ultimately is a macro issue, though aspects of it are implemented at a micro level. From an executive perspective, governance underlies all large organisation activity, and defines their accountability. As such, governance is absolutely about senior executives being responsible for ensuring that business value is maximized and risk is understood, mitigated, or minimized. The way you have defined governance is both IT-focused/ highly technical, and mainly issues that are dealt with below executive level.
So, I am absolutely looking to create a *governance* framework relevant to senior management, not technology management. Perhaps I haven’t gone about it the right way, but governance is not a subset of what I am trying to create her. This needs to help senior executives who are accountable to the organization’s stakeholders deal with the emergence of Enterprise 2.0 tools and approaches.
Governance is however a term used in many ways, so perhaps I need to clarify the term within the framework.

I love your schéma, they are bright and clear and help us in our reflection. When you said entreprise 2.0 what do you have behind this word, internet+intranet+individual connection to social networks+HR 2.0 ?

Hi Ross,
This is a timely article on this topic as i have been working on a whitepaper on enterprise 2.0.
I’m nost sure whether you want to call it as Governance framework or just Enterprise 2.0 frameowrk.
Its looks to me you are putting together a framework on what Enterprise 2.0 offers. Governance is just once aspect of it or another vertical of it, like value, risks, actions.
At a mcro level governance is –
Who defines and modifies the organization’s systems?
What quality of service must be provided?
Who is responsible for service/applications development?
Who is responsible the service/applications ecosystem?
Who is allowed access to the services/applications
How are services/applications exposed to external consumers
How will success of the Enterprise2.0 be measured?
How will the inter dependencies among apss/services be managed?
I presume you might want to add another vertical and rename this Framework.
I hope this helps
