Social software in organizations: so much to gain!

George Siemens points to a very interesting post on the weblog by Ross Dawson. I've seen Wilfred Rubens refer to this post by Ross also.
I particularly like the comment that Siemens makes: "Organizations (..) are generally too unaware of
themselves and their strengths and expertise. Social software can
greatly aid the "coming to know oneself" that most larger corporations
need...but too often, hierarchy and information secrecy reduce it's
effectiveness."
Yes, indeed: so much information that doesn't flow, well it flows, but only to certain persons in certain meetings... I see what he means!
