Throwing Sheep in the Boardroom

This wiki has been created as a collaborative platform to help build on our analysis of issues identified in Throwing Sheep in the Boardroom. The book scopes out a broad analytical framework and offers conceptual tools to help understand the Web 2.0 revolution. We also provide numerous examples that illustrate the book’s main themes. We now hope to use this wiki to build on our analysis by examining in more concrete and practical terms some of the salient issues raised in the book.
We hope you will contribute your own knowledge and share your own experiences on this wiki to add insights into the issues identified in this wiki. And, of course, if you believe that other issues merit their own wiki, we encourage you to start a new page based on your selected theme or issue.

We have started with 10 proposed issues that we hope will benefit from your knowledge and experience. We plan to add more issues in the coming weeks and months. In keeping with the Web 2.0 spirit of mass collaboration – or “wisdom of crowds” – we strongly believe that the shared experiences and knowledge of as many people as possible will enhance our understanding of, and provide insights into, the themes we have presented in the book. A logical next step for us is to “drill down” by examining specific issues and drawing out lessons from real-life situations.
