The CIPD have published a short, initial discussion document on 'HR's use of web 2.0 for strategic business impact' (disclosure: I bid for this work but didn't get it).
The report includes case studies provided by Pfizer, 3 government departments and T-Mobile.
I'm pleased to see that the CIPD recognises that web 2.0 provides 'the potential to change the way people interact and work' which 'offers HR a new way of making a significant contribution to an organisation's strategic and operational goals'.
However, I'm not sure the report offers much to help us do this (and to be fair, I don't think that's its objective either).

Well put, John Ingam. The social web is not a threat, it's a true opportunity for enabling leaders and employees to cooperate and join forces for creating values. However, far too many corporations are stuck up in a 'protect our business idea' mode. That's a brilliant way to slow down creativity, production and outcomes.

You're right Jon. Ask not about the technology, but what the technology can do for you. That's Marketing 101.
