In 2011, the US hit a milestone — more than half of all adults visit social networking sites at least once a month. But when it comes to using social-networking technologies inside organizations, many business leaders are at a loss to understand what value can be created from Facebook-like status updates within the enterprise. Some organizations have deployed social-networking features with an initial enthusiastic reception, only to see these early efforts wither to just a few stalwart participants. The problem: Most companies approach enterprise social networks as a technology deployment and fail to understand that the new relationships created by enterprise social networks are the source for value creation. In this first of two reports, Altimeter looks at four ways enterprise social networks create value for organizations.
Frank Leistner, Chief Knowledge Officer at SASYes, this is a great report. I really like the way it takes those human aspects under consideration and does not stop at the technology. The driver and motivation aspects are so central, and it seems that you were able to surface through your questions. Some of this is similar to other earlier KM initiatives I think, a reason why some other KM initiatives have failed was what I usually call 'initiative support'. But people often think with Social Media they now have a tool that is so easy, that it is really a self-runner (which is wrong of course). … and to go with Erik's, idea if you open an office in Zürich, Switzerland , please let me know :-) (masterknowledgeflow.ch)1 year ago

Steve Murthey, Social Media Capability Architect at Accenture InteractiveGreat report, Charlene. From what we're seeing out there, the results of the survey are not surprising. And, it’s not the fault of the platforms. We’re finding that the most common barrier to Social Collaboration adoption is the company’s existing culture and behavior. Companies aren’t implementing the non-technical foundations for success. Far too many are using a tools-focused, 'build it and they will come' approach to enterprise SoCo, like many had for Social Media.
They need to include building blocks like strategic context and business objectives, organization and governance, process infusion, culture and behavior change, and content management – some of which can be extensive undertakings in themselves.1 year ago
