Alcatel-Lucent Social Intranet - Engage
This document summarizes a presentation about Alcatel-Lucent's transition to a social intranet called Engage. The summary is: Alcatel-Lucent transitioned from traditional top-down communications to a more open, participatory approach using Engage, a social intranet platform. Engage now has over 54,000 users collaborating in 3,300 groups. While this empowered employees, it also introduced challenges around governance, transparency, and information overload that required addressing new risks and opportunities. The CEO and management have supported Engage, seeing it make collaboration and sharing ideas easier across the company.
