Web 2.0Web 2.0 Web 2.0 technologies allow masses of people
to connect and allow for rapid prototyping, failure, and adaptation.

Nortel Study May 2008Nortel Study May 2008 ‘The Hyperconnected: Here they Come’

hyperconnected; this will escalate to 40% The boundary between work and personal
connectivity is blurring; more than a third use SN for both
Expectation for a hyperconnected environment – it will become a condition of employment

The Cluetrain ManifestoThe Cluetrain Manifesto “Employees are getting hyperlinked even as markets are.
Companies need to listen carefully to both.
Mostly, they need to get out of the way so intranetworked employees can converse directly with internetworked markets.”
The ‘Talent Wars’
Networked knowledge workers can change employers over lunch. Your own "downsizing initiatives" taught us to ask the question: "Loyalty? What's that?"
![Page 10: Business And Social Networking For Publication](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070313/55491d0ab4c905b44c8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cluetrain ‘theses’Cluetrain ‘theses’ There are two conversations going on. One inside
the company. One with the market. In most cases, neither conversation is going very
well. Almost invariably, the cause of failure can be traced to obsolete notions of command and control.
As policy, these notions are poisonous. As tools, they are broken. Command and control are met with hostility by intranetworked knowledge workers and generate distrust in internetworked markets.
These two conversations want to talk to each other. They are speaking the same language. They recognise each other's voices.

“I'm more productive when I'm happy, and I'm happiest when I'm allowed the freedom and responsibility to get my job done in the way that best suits me. If I feel repressed then I resent it, stop caring about my job, and become a miserable clock-watching drone.”

Networked individualismNetworked individualism Empirical work in 1998 established data to counter
the dystopian argument that internet involvement was associated with social isolation
The supposed ICT-driven transformation of work to networked organisations is only partially fulfilled in practice. The organisational constraints of departmental organisation (including power) and physical proximity continued to play important roles.
