Abstract: Web 2.0 has had its impact on business, our products, our services, and most importantly, our people. More participative, transparent behaviors and processes have enabled change in how we communicate with each other about our business. Employees and clients alike see business value in enterprise social software adoption. It can help inspire innovation, build relationships and accelerate business results across the globe. Find out from two organizations how Web 2.0 is transforming their business. IBM discusses how it is transforming its own business beyond “early adopter” communities, across roles and locations, and inside and outside the firewall. Teach For America now engages its wide network of teaching corps members and alumni, staff, donors, and employer and graduate school partners to expand educational opportunities for all children.

Gaining value from the social network
A social network is a network of people
But it is not about the people themselves …
value is in the relationship – and the reciprocal activity of giving and receiving
The value is in the weak ties
“ enterprises are looking at how they can harness the hierarchy-flattening, information-sharing, teambuilding power of social networks ” (Deloitte)
Finding expertise in the network
Social paths help broaden reach
Visualization aids understanding
Example: Value to sellers Find Expertise Develop Relationships Discover Existing Knowledge Share Information Value to Seller Business Impact High-Performing Team Attributes Seller Activities Team members seek ideas/expertise from people external to the team Diverse perspectives valued Denser social networks Team members work together to ensure the client is successful Team communicates well on client activities/issues and how to respond Know where to look for expertise and aid Establish long term networks of expertise Discover and reuse existing knowledge, or expertise Become a network resource; collaborate on more deals Improve productivity; focus on client success Build relationships to experts and resources Increase efficiency through knowledge reuse Reinforce value of Team IBM
Study finding: Members of high performing teams use social software more than low performing Sales Performance database Low- Performing High- Performing Social SW Users Non Users $ $ Social SW Users Non Users Low-perfoming SW sales teams High-perfoming SW sales teams $

Fostering collaboration in IBM
Identify use cases, best practices and tools – by role, by task
Make it easy to get started
Share tools, enablement materials, best practices
Generate “buzz”
Share the vision
Communicate success stories
Tap key influencers as early adopters
Grassroots evangelism
Driving adoption of social software
“ Volunteer Army” of Social Software Ambassadors IBMers helping other IBMers
Create and implement training programs as well as ad-hoc support
Recruit and Enable BlueIQ Ambassadors (600+ worldwide)
Reverse mentoring of senior leaders
Share metrics and Success Stories
Reward contributions
Live Sessions On-Demand Self-paced Community Driven Integrated with Existing Tools
Lessons learned in enterprise social software adoption
What Works:
Lead with use cases and success stories – by role, by task
Modular enablement – mix and match – lightweight and in multiple formats
Volunteer ambassadors who are motivated by passion & validation
Reward systems – formal, informal, fun
Multiple approaches to experiencing social software
Injecting social software into existing tooling as well as using new
Emphasizing all levels of participation
What Does Not Work:
Leading with tools discussion – instead relate to user tasks
Evangelizing without context – instead use use cases and success stories by role
Living in the echo chamber – recognize what's not “obvious” knowledge to the audience
Forgetting there's no clean slate – approach must accommodate multiplicity
