Hi Helen, Most corporate Web 2.0 / Enterprise 2.0 projects suffer in fact from a lack of design expertise, usability consideration and a generally technology-centric approach emerging from the classic role of organisational IT. But there are a few cases now available where projects realised and addressed that problem, using external expertise, style guides and portal framework approaches.
A few links for you : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_2.0 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/a_web_2_0_tour_ http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/the-challenge-of http://intranetmaturity.com/ http://www.prescientdigital.com/articles/enterprise-2-0-vs-intranet-2.0 http://www.microsoft.com/business/peopleready/innovation/insight/infoworkplace.mspx (plug) http://www.guenther.cx/index.php/a.Interactive+Identity I think most of them can serve you as "Portal" for further interesting topics on that subject. Try also looking for some IT related subjects like SOA, Portals, NetWeaver / SharePoint / WebSphere etc., there is a lot of hidden insight regarding usability and design issues because they do not always use "IxD language". Mashups for example are often called composite applications in that environment, meaning nearly the same thing.
