Recently on the introNetworks Blog, we talked about a few ways the social enterprise can prosper. One of the items on the list recommended a flattening of the organizational hierarchy as a means of promoting co-value creation and collaboration. Continuing along those same lines, the social customer service field has been dramatically flattened in recent years as well.
