The Collaborative Enterprise A QUIZ An Age-old Challenge  The Evolution of Information Communication Infrastructure  The Dawn of “Emergent Collaboration” and Enterprise 2.0 The Saba Collaboration Suite – What is it?  Making the Case for Enterprise Social Software  Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter
QUICK QUIZ: Would you say that it is easier to find knowledge: On the web, or  Within your Organisation?
The Collaborative Enterprise  Recent study shows 71 percent agree that it’s easier to locate “knowledge” on the Web than it is to find it on internal systems. AIIM Industry Watch on Collaboration and Enterprise 2.0
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter The Collaborative Enterprise  Why?
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter The Collaborative Enterprise  Why?  Too many places to look  	And the information is often out of date     So people give up   And go forward with the wrong info  	Or begin to reinvent the wheel  Or try to ask others, but… 	 They don’t know who to ask  And when they do...  	 Experts are too busy or don’t want to share  And when they do share…  	 Information gets exchanged & lost in emails  And the process begins all over again
The Value of Collaboration
The Collaborative Enterprise  So, how do we get there?

The Collaborative Enterprise  So, back to the challenge…  Recent study shows 71 percent agree that it’s easier to locate “knowledge” on the Web than it is to find it on internal systems. AIIM Industry Watch on Collaboration and Enterprise 2.0
The Collaborative Enterprise  With Enterprise Social Software Silos are eliminated – everyone has a unified view of all of their content across Groups  	Anyone can contribute new content  Network connections act to both surface and filter info  And the community governs the content,  identifying content that is out of policy or out of date  		Intranet repositories stay current  			Experts are easy to find  Relevant information is automatically surfaced in context  	Quality information is preserved  		rather than forever lost in email  Transparency prevails  	Teams and experts collaborate effectively  		 and get the social recognition they deserve

Building the Case for Enterprise Social Software  Benefits for Executives
ROI = Risk of Ignoring The imperative for business leaders is clear: falling behind in creating internal and external networks could be a critical mistake.  Executives need to push their Organisations toward becoming fully networked enterprises.  ~ McKinsey Quarterly “The rise of the networked enterprise”, December 2010
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter Connecting People to Expertise 	If only HP knew what HP knows,  we would be three times as profitable. ~ Lew Platt, Former CEO of HP -
Connecting People to Expertise =  Answers! Experts! Content!
Cost Avoidance thru Real-time Virtual Collaboration  	The IRS… has saved $228 million (1/4 of a billion) in total over the nine years of the project.  ~ Gartner Case Study: How Real-Time Collaboration Helped the IRS Cut Costs and Improve Productivity  Gartner Case Study: How Real-Time Collaboration Helped the IRS Cut Costs and Improve Productivity
Transparency Powers Better Decision Making   	Transparency enables better decision making  	~ Oscar Berg, Consultant at Acando -
Rapid Innovation! Tapping into Better Ideas, Faster 	None of us is as smart as all of us. ~ Ken Blanchard -
Adaptive, Agile Organisations When employees have collaboration tools that are easy to use and allow on-demand interactions, a company experiences two fundamental changes: the business can ‘sense and respond’ more quickly and the quality of business decisions improves. ~ Bob Preston. Chief Collaboration Officer, Polycom -
Adaptive, Agile Organisations Companies that widely harnessed social software took on average 11 hours to bring a response team together for a key business threat, while industry average companies took 105 hours and laggards 113. ~ Aberdeen Group Aberdeen Study: Embrace Social Software and Improve Business Performance
Adaptive, Agile Organisations Best-in-class companies saw a 36 percent decrease in time to enact key business changes based on customer feedback, while laggards experienced a 17 percent increase ~ Aberdeen Group Aberdeen Study: Embrace Social Software and Improve Business Performance
Building the Case for Enterprise Social Software  Benefits for HR & Learning Leaders
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter Attract & Retain the Best Talent Del Ross, VP of US Sales and Marketing for IHG (@delross) February 2011 post on Twitter.com by Del Ross
Rapid On-boarding  All sales managers know the problem…we’ve spent months recruiting, interviewing and hiring the right person. The great hire has started, all of a sudden management is complaining: Why aren’t they producing sales?  ~ Jeffrey Stanley, Director of Sales Excellence, AT&T Mobility Partners in Excellence Blog Post
Rapid On-boarding  	A lot of people TALK about rapid on-boarding… well, I experienced it thanks to Saba Live!  ~ Milind Pansare, Sr. Director, Product Marketing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOiQLgjRzJ0
Improved Employee Engagement = Higher Profits  	Engaged employees are a leading indicator of business outcomes – including customer engagement –  and are the keys to a differentiated and defensible competitive advantage.  ~ Gallup Organisation Bill Hoffman & Teresa Tschida, “Engaged Employees Equal Engaged Customers “
Improved Employee Engagement = Higher Profits  	Research reveals that the companies most adept at engaging their employees are significantly outperforming companies that are not.  The earnings per share (EPS) growth rate of top quartile companies was 2.6 times that of the below-average Organisations.  ~ Gallup Organisation Bill Hoffman & Teresa Tschida, “Engaged Employees Equal Engaged Customers “
Improved Teamwork  Do you want a collection of brilliant minds or a brilliant collection of minds?  ~ R. Meredith Belbin www.belbin.com/
Improved Teamwork  Most teams aren't teams at all but merely collections of individual relationships with the boss. Each individual vying with the others for power, prestige and position. ~ Douglas McGregor, MIT Sloan -
Building the Case for Enterprise Social Software  Benefits for Marketing & Customer Care Professional
Improve Customer Engagement = Customer Satisfaction & References  Saba Live has greatly improved how we can connect with Customers, and we get direct and candid feedback.”   	~ Alice Harkin, Director, Customer Marketing  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOiQLgjRzJ0
Improve Customer Engagement = Customer Satisfaction & References  94% of customers trust “word-of-mouth” recommendations while only 14% trust advertisements. 	~ Forrester Research  -
Building the Case for Enterprise Social Software  Benefits for the Legal Department
Risk Management  Our legal department loves the  blog, because it is basically a written-down, backed-up, permanent time-stamped version of the scientist’s notebook.  ~ Marissa Mayer, VP of Search Product & User Experience, Google  -
Saba Live Community Governance
Why Saba People Systems vs. Disconnected Collaboration?
The Power of People Systems  Goal Alignment: “to empower people in an unaligned organisation can be counterproductive”.  Peter Senge, The Fifth Discipline Innovation & Problem Solving: problem solving capacity of the organization is improved through better access to knowledge and expertise.  McHugh, Groves and Alker, The Learning Organization. Managing learning: what do we learn from a learning organization?  Rapid Learning: There is a competitive advantage for an organization whose workforce can learn quicker than the workforce of other organizations.  Learning organizations typically have excellent knowledge management structures, allowing creation, acquisition, dissemination & implementation of this knowledge in the organization Wang & Ahmed, The Learning Organization: a critical review.  Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter
The Collaborative EnterpriseShared Vision & Goals are Critical  “Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”  - Andrew Carnegie “A demanding performance challenge tends to create a team.”  Katzenbach & Smith All winning teams are goal-oriented. Teams like these win consistently because everyone connected with them concentrates on specific objectives. They go about their business with blinders on; nothing will distract them from achieving their aims.  Lou Holtz, former Notre Dame football coach Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter
The Collaborative Enterprise  Moving from Learning to a Learning Organization  A learning organization is the term given to a company that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself.   Pedler, M., Burgogyne, J. and Boydell, T. 1997. The Learning Company: A strategy for sustainable development. 2nd Ed. London; McGraw-Hill. To create a competitive advantage, companies need to learn faster than their competitors and to develop a customer responsive culture  O’Keeffe, T. 2002. Organizational Learning: a new perspective. Journal of European Industrial Training, 26 (2), pp. 130-141.  Organizations need to produce creative solutions using the knowledge and skills of all within the organization, which requires co-operation between individuals and groups and free and reliable communication.  Learning organizations tend to have flat, decentralized organizational structures Argyris, C. 1999. On Organizational Learning. 2nd Ed. Oxford: Blackwell Publishing.
