Richard von Kaufmann outlines key things managers should take into consideration when thinking about rollout social collaboration within their organizations.
13. SECURITY — A relative view
Email is inherently leaky (eg sending to a wrong person, forwarding)
Emails are like electronic postcards that can be intercepted
Email attachments can’t be retrieved & are downloaded
Collaboration spaces are invite only
Collaboration spaces are protected by SSL banking security
Collaboration space access can be denied retroactively
15. What really motivates workers?
Harvard Business Review asked 600 managers to rank these factors:
● recognition
● incentives
● interpersonal support
● support for making progress
● clear goals
17. Which one did the managers vote
least important?
support for making progress
18. Which one did 12,000 employee
diary entries highlight as the most
important?
19. Which one did 12,000 employee
diary entries highlight as the most
important?
support for making progress
21. SOCIAL IQ
Does your organization have a
flat enough hierarchy?
Is there a sufficient culture of
sharing?
Do the employees understand
how they would benefit?
24. STEERING COMMITTEE
Members should be enthusiastic about social collaboration
potential and influential within the organization
Cross-departmental — open up the silos & get buy in
25. TOOLS ARE A MEANS TO AN END
Tools must be integrated logically
into day-to-day processes.
26. STRATEGIC ROLLOUT
Never invite people to a
collaboration space that is
empty of content.
First pre-fill it with a few
pieces of relevant
information.
28. LEAD THE WAY
Admins establish the usage rules by setting the appropriate style
Large communities = general awareness Small groups = micro forum
29. PEOPLE
Employees need to be involved in
co-creating the usage solutions.
Personal social interests should
be tolerated and supported.
31. OSKE REVIEW REPORT
● Greater information sharing and
awareness building.
● Cluster board meetings are far more
productive and innovative as they can
be prepared with online communication
and document production.
● Face-to-face meetings among
community members have been
reduced significantly; this means
savings in time, money and natural
resources.
● The governance of the community is
much more easier than before; OSKE
Secretariat can contact over 200 people
without any heavy email sending, etc.
● Clusters and project participants have
been able to easily adapt the platform
for their individual projects.
