The next question: what are the most valuable web 2.0 tools an organisation can implement on their intranet? Customisable dashboard in iGoogle style where you feature the corporate tools you already use, such as your CRM system. Wiki, Forum...how would you use bookmarks? There is a bit of complexity, isn't there? Just like outside the organisation, there are probably 20% contributors and 80% consumers of the information, don’t you think?

The message is "Trains are great, buy ours," not "Come work for us." And I think that anyone who's in the market for a few trains knows very well how to get in touch with Bombardier.

Even a single tag cloud might help an organization resolve issues that contributing to employee turnover.

I hope part of your presentation includes, even if it's just a logo on your presentation, mention of OpenID, OAuth, or even better Data Portability. In my experience CEO types are scared of OpenID and OAuth because they associate user data with cash. It'd be great if you would include some soothing words that OpenID and OAuth are the means for more users, an order of a magnitude more, and that's what's important. Just a suggestion. “…What do a 19th century Italian economist who accidentally defined a pseudo-law of nature, a post World War II American statistician who is responsible for today’s dominance by Japanese car manufacturers, and the 80’s poster boy for glam rock Boy George, have to do with Web 2.0″

I guess a lot depends on the quality of your prose ;-) I like this – very ‘big picture’ thinking – however, it may be risky to take that approach with an RFP – without the face to face communication people may not take the time to listen to what you have to say.
