I agree totally with you that one of the greatest potentials of 2.0 is to leapfrog bad cultures (that I've found are often reinforced for totally unknown, anti-success reasons — that is, they exist based on baseless 'lore' that so many are so willing to defend to the death, even if it takes the business down with them).

But the implementation of 2.0 (I'm not specifically talking technologies, but the whole of it all — a transition), is only successful by considering certain dimensions of 'culture'. Some of that culture are 'behaviors' specific to a certain industry; others are preferences and tendencies common in one company vs. another.

The culture is the 'context' in which 2.0 has to survive and flourish. Not knowing what the critical success factors for adoption might be, is a huge risk to take on (not suggesting that many have succeeded without it — their cultures likely were good 'fits' for what was done).

A cultural failure: http://twurl.nl/lsnt8c The footnote to this is, Tom and I graduated from High School together and worked together — He the Student Body President, I the Chief Justice of the Student Government/Court.

His unwillingness to understand the impact of the 'culture' on success was a symptom of this.

2.0 does not require the full depth of 'change management' as a discipline — but there are good practices from this discipline, related to culture that can be leveraged. In design, they're called 'constraints'; in economics, heuristics.
