I was asked this question twice this morning and I shall answer it on my blog. I shall keep this very simple. My definition of Enterprise 2.0 is Communication, Sharing, Collaboration and Collective Intelligence.
Communicating is something more than emails or IMs. Its about social networks and community platforms. This is some level technical and cultural aspects of Enterprise 2.0.
Sharing is about sharing ideas, information and knowledge. This is the cultural aspect of Enterprise 2.0.
Collaboration is about coming together from disparate locations working together to create something. This is not restricted to just employees within the organisation but also (depending on the situation) customers, vendors or suppliers.
Collective intelligence is a form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals. It is when all the above is done over time, the knowledge that is transacted over the platform over time is collected as corporate knowledge.
This is my definition of Enterprise 2.0. Please let me know if you agree or disagree.
