Enterprise 2.0: As said by one of the innovators

We spend a lot of time on this blog talking about Google. Most of the time, it’s about Google. Now, we get to talk with Google. Erick Schmidt sat down with the New York Times and discussed the topic of how technology in the workplace is changing so fast and how companies are evolving to make it work for them. In this article, he discusses these five downfalls of having instant information:

1) No falsehood can last.
2) People expect an immediate answer.
3) You can measure everything.
4) Managers will need a new way to listen to the information and uncover the gems.
5) Managers have to obtain everyone else’s good information, and avoid sinking in the vast sea of words

This may be difficult now, but as the next generation moves up, they have always worked with technology. How will the help with the adaption of these tools?
