Euan prooved a sense for just perfect timing with this post: “Most companies who try to do Enterprise 2.0 will fail“, while Sharepoint got whipped in realtime on Twitter (anyway, I am trying to invite a representative of the MOSS team for the next Stuttgart Wiki Wednesday – we’ll have our very own first hand experience then).

And while following up Bertrand Duperrin (read his post for a tale of organizational pathologies told by the CIA) and Stewart Mader (“Why Does the CIA Keep Top Secret Intelligence in a Wiki?“) I searched and found these two videos of the guys involved in the CIA’s Intellipedia effort (read Enterprise 2.0: CIA’s Secret Intellipedia Has Universal Relevance found via Oscar Berg), first see their presentation video at E2.0 and then the interview (via David Spark):

As senior technical officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency and chief of its requirements and research group, Lewis Shepherd has promoted and observed a remarkable transformation that’s occurring inside the U.S. intelligence community as analysts begin to embrace Web 2.0 practices. There’s a long way to go. But already thousands of analysts are contributing to Intellipedia, an internal system based on the same software that powers Wikipedia. And a vibrant internal blogging culture has evolved too.

In this conversation, Jon Udell and Lewis Shepherd discuss the origins, progress, and future of these initiatives. They also discuss broader IT efforts within the Department of Defense: service-oriented architecture, consolidation and virtualization, and the relationship between informal Web 2.0 and formal “Web 3.0″ approaches to the semantic Web.
