You are saying that diversity leads to innovation due to access to novel information, so far so good. Although I would add that complexity theory does allow us to model the evolving of patterns in a population and this shows that diverstiy of interaction itself gives rise to innovation or change. You then go on to conclude that social media tools have a part to play, inside and outside the organisation. I would basically disagree with this, and I go against the tide here. This is because I think that most social media severely constricts the interaction that takes place, at the same time as it broadens the interaction. For example, on Facebook, I can have a million friends that I have had only a one line interaction with, and they are called "friends." On Twitter I can find out lots about when someone has dinner or a shower but do I really get to know the person. It seems to me that quantity of information about quantity of people is replacing meaning made between humans. At the same time media like Facebook and Twitter can supplement other media and help people get to know each other better. But to say that social media in themselves create better relationships is like saying the telephone creates better relationships. Death threats can come down the phone as well as love notes.

I think many of us increasingly subscribe to this vision. What makes it difficult to implement though is the retooling of an intranet and the technology infrastructure to allow for these information flows. Nicely explained.
