Using Yammer & SharePoint Intranets to Drive Employee Engagement
The document discusses driving employee engagement through the use of Yammer and enterprise social networks (ESNs). It provides an overview of Yammer and how it can be used to break down communication silos. The keynote then outlines a three step process for user adoption and engagement: get in, get engaged, and get advanced. It emphasizes the importance of planning for cloud infrastructure, running social strategy workshops, focusing on early adopters, and bringing IT and end users together through communities and steering teams.
