Thanks again to Steve Wylie for inviting us to keynote a second time, to Susan Scrupski for her work and our partnership with The 2.0 Adoption Council, and to Wayne Kurtzman for the fantastic voice-over work in the intro video clip.

This represents highlights of some of the most shocking and interesting findings from the work we have been doing with The 2.0 Adoption Council, focusing, in this case, on IT Resistance, Management Resistance and User Resistance, budgets spent, and where those budgets are being allocated for Enterprise 2.0 projects at large-scale and in large enterprises (of all types represented in the council).

Interested in the companion whitepaper and further Enterprise 2.0 resources?

• Sign up for the entire bundle of related Enterprise 2.0 Resources we have created both directly based on the resarch presented at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, as well as additional resources created in the last year.

Are you experiencing similar resistance in your own organization?

How have you overcome the resistance? Top-down? Bottom-up? Internal communications? Carrot? Stick? Weigh in – we all need to uncover the best and worst practices if this market is going to take hold and grow even further.

The video from the keynote was streamed live, but appears not to have hit the archive yet – great to have had a chance to reprise our keynoting skills with a variation from our keynote in June 2008.

While we await a pointer to the captured video from November 2009, below we have provided both the intro video before we walked onstage (which went over quite well, thanks again to Wayne Kurtzman for the voice-over work), and which we’ve received a number of requests to post publicly – embed/tweet/spread as you will, and thank you to the live audience for your indulgence in running (galloping?) with the horse theme of the keynote.

And if you did not have a chance to watch the keynote live, below are the slides we had presented, highlighting some of the most shocking/intriguing of the statistics in the research work we have done with The 2.0 Adoption Council – a consortium of over 100 organizations representing the best of the best, and the largest of the Enterprise 2.0 projects that have been deployed around the world.

Without our voiceover from the conference, the findings likely beg some explanation as we had 20 minutes to hit the highlights and dive into the major issues found in IT Resistance, Management Resistance and User Resistance experienced by the 2.0 Adoption Council members in this research project.

Any questions while we await the audio/video from the show?

Comment away, and we will see what we can do to continue the conversation post-conference.

What resistance have YOU found in your organization, and how did you overcome it?
