Enterprise 2.0 - a workplace revolution?

My experience with working in government agencies previously was a eye-opener. Everyone was relaxed, happy and takes things at their own stride or their own sweet time. There is no rush to complete anything or accomplish much. It almost seems like working in the government sector is almost like a lifestyle, mindset or a kind of personal belief. Employees at my current client is similar in this way too. It used to be a government agency and it got privatised many years ago but work habits are still very much the same as the government sector. (I am not saying all government agencies are like that. The above is just my experience and I might be very wrong in some cases)

Enterprise 2.0 is a ideology that requires a fair amount of proactive human participation. It would work very well when everyone is willing to share knowledge, contribute to the online community and do their part well at work. But in the case of the above, how would enterprise 2.0 work? Even with enterprise 2.0 installed and implemented at the work place, the technology might make life better for employees and increase efficiency by a small margin but the promises that Enterprise 2.0 would never be achieved. The more I think about enterprise 2.0, the more I think it is a workplace revolution.

Anyone has any thoughts on this topic? I would like to discuss this further.

Thanks!
