Hi Jon - great post !

I completely agree with Clay Shirky that the "really radical changes become apparent when the work turns to finding or creating something new, something really different, when the direction is aimed directly at stimulating and supporting innovation".

In a previous consulting engagement I used a slide titled "Emergence, connection visibility, knowledge flows"

As E2.0 accelerates enterprises move more towards "emergence" dictated by social construction of just-in-time knowledge from ongoing flows of dynamic information between people and social capital in the network.

I think we'll see ‘connection visibility’ becoming more important in 'smarter enterprises' that use social network analysis to show the intersection of influence networks and knowledge flow pathways to better illustrate how real work gets done using informal networks (collaborative, P2P, non-hierarchical). NOTE: This will complement not replace the hierarchy.

The objective is to better manage human connectivity as a critical resource that allows informal networks to help channel the real flow of information and influence for increased organizational agility in support of strategic initiatives and value creation.
