Practice ... On Purpose

I think this ...

And they encourage multiple parallel small-scale experiments using these tools, in the context of addressing specific organizational problems, so that participating organizations can actually become leaders in the use of new technologies and ideas, instead of just abstractly understanding their potential.

is basically the same, conceptually, as this ...

Enterprise 2.0 and Implementation

Just start practicing with this stuff ! It is not going away, and I suspect strongly that the presence of web services and social software will only intensify. Practicing is good, and the productivity landscape it addresses will from now on involve more and more of the "sociology" engendered by personal cognitive and working styles interacting with others and with the larger integrated systems of an organization.

So, it's a safe bet that it will take practice, and learning what works for a given context and different groups of networked people.

Choose one or several purposeful pilot projects. Don't fret endlessly about getting it right. Get good advice, make good common sense decisions, and learn from the practice.

I'm willing to bet that a substantial number of organizations either try too hard to "get it right" right out of the box, or get really frustrated by the impacts of blogs and wikis on leadership and management styles and the organizational culture, or will experience regular waves of discomfort with the relative non-linearity of the dynamics of blogs, wikis and mashups.

Just practice. You will have the rest of the future to get it right, and the future keeps changing faster than we do.
