4. Definition According to Wikipedia, “Enterprise 2.0 is the use of "Web2.0" technologies within an organization to enable or streamline business processeswhile enhancing collaboration - connecting people through the use of social-media tools. Enterprise 2.0 aims to help employees, customers and suppliers collaborate, share, and organize information.” Enterprise 2.0 uses internal and external communities. External communities or social virtual communities are people interconnected on the web and passionate by a topic or an expertise. Internalcommunitiesare groups or units working as a team and groups of people passionate about a topic or an expertise.
5. Communities What are the benefits of communities for employees, shareholders and customers?
6. Internal Communities benefits Increase Productivity: Reduce time to solve problems or issues Streamline processes Increase consistency in process among locations Reduce duplication of work Increase policy adoption Reduce Costs: Reduce projects Reduce travel and operational costs Create dynamic, more reactive and knowledgeable teams: Increase brand consistency An organizational “social fabric” is created resulting in improved employee retention and being more committed to each other and the company The community is a container for corporate memory —it greatly accelerates employee on-boarding and empowers employees and increases collaboration between groups resulting in knowledge sharing

21. “ There will be inaccuracy/garbage and it will be ineffective”

24. Implementing change requires… Time: any new experience creates a new physical brain connection, called synapse which strengthen every time we do the same experience over again. So the way we are designed requires time to embrace change. Space: during any process of change, we become focus on ourselves and allowing space will help. Support: change means going outside our comfort zone and unknown usually stresses most people. Bringing positive support will increase confidence and lower stress.
25. Ideas to help employees accept change (acceptation phase) Communicate: Communicate clear usage guidelines Provide on-going and creativeeducation to remove misunderstanding and misinformation Address all reluctancy reasons: i.e lose of power by explaining the importance of using wikis when someone is sick or busy, it free all of us. Communicate the right messaging: “Relax, we are all human” Evangelize: Support early adopters by providing them a blog to share their experiences focusing how it improves their job Enable newcomers to learn together by giving them their own blog to share initial impressions and a forum to ask questions to key veterans. Plan: Be patient and understand the “90-9-1 principle” (1% are leaders, 9% key participants and 90% consumers-only of information). Have reasonable expectations. Create security measures and name Community gardeners (in charge of managing and growing the community)
26. Ideas to help employees adopt new habits and tools (learning and usage phase) Motivate: Create polls and contests to encourage people to get involved Reward and incentive: motivate potential authors as blogging takes time and effort (blogger or blog posting of the month awards, showcasing in newsletter, win group activity…) Further enable communities of practice: setting up a blog/wiki with limited access can encourage participation from those who typically only “lurk” in a community. Publicly thank gardeners and advocates Teach: Share key lessons-learned which reduce risk taking and errors Find experts or senior job-role practitioners to peer them with other similar groups Share tips and tricks and encourage people to ask questions Not everybody like social media = show benefits Trust: Find advocates, bottom-up with top leadership involved Have users self-report their outcome, metrics and ROI Let FAQs develop organically
27. Becoming Social Enterprise: a step-by-step process Setting-up the stage. Choosing the right business goal. Launching for success.
28. Step One: Setting-up the stage Decrease resistance (address fear, objections and negativity from employees and social teams) Find investmentresources (people, tools, time) Get leadershipsupport and selectgardeners and evangelists - usually early adopters who will help build awareness using case studies to help with adoption.
29. Step Two: Define a Business goal Define a business goal with specific expectations Increase productivity? Cost saving? Share knowledge? Increase sales? Competitive research? Innovation?... Select metrics to track successes and failures Metrics are based on business goal Asking employees to self-report their ROI is a great way to let they know that social media has a direct impact on the business and is not a nice-to-have or a cool thing to do
30. Step Three: Launch for success Focus on one business unit or group at a time Introduce gardeners and evangelists officially from top down Meet regularly to review objectives and progress Let word of mouth spread internally to other units or groups Learn from first experience and expand to other business units or groups
31. Step Four: Refine and Improve On-going training is needed as new tools appear and needs evolve Keep listening to people’s needs and challenges Foster the new social culture Innovation will come naturally

Calculating influence level of each prospect and client.
39. Selling Product in Enterprise 2.0 Integrating social media into a CRM application: Improves sales qualification process and enables sales people to develop the right relationship:"Should I spend time developing a one to one relationship and invite personally this prospect to a webinar or should I put this lead into an automatic newsletter program for nurturing?“ Enables ongoing and deep qualification process with integrated alert when prospect tweets about competitors or keywords which will enable sales rep to focus his/her attention back at the right time.
