Indeed at the very first meeting I tried to argue along the lines of "web 2.0 freak show", but it turned out way too scary in the end. So the helter-skelter ride is my metaphor today, read "Enterprise 2.0 is no ripe and boring place to be in, rather we're going to see bends and quirkyness, but those that can stand the wild ride willl experience some fun". Fun in enterprisey-terms is of course something like "reap the benefits by experimenting and learning quickly" and then kick your competitors b*** ;) Jenny, I am refraining from employing the bandwagon metaphor too much – it sounds too much like “follow the fad of the day” – so I prefer the rollercoaster image.

What I can't tell from the slides and interests me is where do you land on "Enterprise 2.0: Bandwagon or Rollercoaster?" or is it both perhaps?
