Putting ‘social’ into perspective

• “Collaboration” is nothing new

• Volume of information grows exponentially

• Access to that information becomes easier and cheaper

• Systems move from transactional to‘systems of engagement’



Systems of record becoming systems of engagement

* John Mancini – AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management)



What do we mean by ‘social’ collaboration?

• Social collaboration inside the company ≠ “Facebook for the Corporation!”

• Instead, social collaboration IS:

• New modes of communication

• More real-time collaboration

• Pull vs. Push (‘Subscribe to content’)

• Implicit and explicit knowledge – both content and content providers

• Breaking down traditional silos within the corporation



Why have these platforms become so powerful?

• Globalization – business expansion, outsourcing, etc.

• Mergers & Acquisitions impacting ‘corporate culture’ and knowledge transfer

• Speed to market

• The “consumerization of IT” – ‘power to the people’

• Siloed business units

• Knowledge retention issues

• Mobile work force

• Collaboration or communication is more natural and fluid (conversation threads, micro-blogging, tagging content)

• Access to knowledge is made easier through expert search, robust user profiles and communities of practice

• Silos break down as employees begin to collaborate with people they may never have met before

• Employees become more engaged in helping one another solve problems and innovate solutions

• Mobile access to internal collaboration systems leverage the concepts of Facebook or Twitter in their simplicity and power (profiles, communities, activity streams, micro-blogging, etc.)

Challenges Opportunities



Some real world examples

• Corporate recruiters come together to share requirements & candidates

• Lines of business across the country share best practices, updates on new government regulations and rulings, and presentation materials

• Software application users come together and help one another with problem-solving solutions, sample sites and information on product upgrades and features



Why are internal social platforms so powerful?

• Internal social platforms break down silos quickly

• They level the playing field, flatting traditional corporate hierarchies

• “Expertise” bubbles up quickly

• People feel engaged and connected, leading to better productivity and willingness to help solve a problem



Key takeaways

• Internal social collaboration is not necessarily about creating “Facebook” for the company. It’s more about:• Creating systems of engagement• Breaking down traditional silos and barriers to communication• Encouraging collaboration and communication

• When considering an internal social collaboration platform:• Understand where the communication pain points are in your company• Ensure both bottom-up and top-down participation• Identify use cases or business processes that could be enhanced• Critical mass matters! Social for 20 is not like social for 200,000
