The document discusses Microsoft's efforts to become a social enterprise by creating a shared knowledge portal called InfoPedia. It involved consolidating content from various sites and simplifying the experience for their 46,000 field sellers. The key aspects included empowering people as change leaders, developing simple processes, shifting culture to encourage sharing, using effective technologies like SharePoint, and measuring impact through adoption rates and feedback. The transformation took over a year but provided field sellers with easier access to critical information.

Community building is just like taking a walk down the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz-- if you help others get what you need, you may get what every community manager wants: a healthy and engaged community, a community that's a strategic part of the organization, not an afterthought. Evolve your community to be an organization-wide discipline, beyond a job.

What Is Social Business ? A SideraWorks BriefXVA Labs
Social business. A term that’s been steadily gaining traction at the intersection of social media’s rise and the current shift in the business world. But what does it mean?
Clarifying the term “social business” is critical to determining whether it’s something we want our companies to be, and if so, how we go about achieving that. At SideraWorks, we’ve spent a great deal of time defining social business in a way that encompasses its essence, but avoids much of the jargon that simply adds to the confusion.

Is social working for your company?
Most enterprises are driven by scorecards to know where a project
starts and where it finishes. The key challenge with a collaborative
project such as a social platform is how to share in the management
cost.
How do you know when your social is effective?
• When your share is increasing and trust in the content is rising
• When you see comments and involvement
• When productivity rises and employees are searching less and finding
more relevance
Collection and Prioritization of Requirements: There has to be a

list helps to create roadmaps and ongoing improvement plans.
Investment Allocation: This is a juggling act. Investment in new
capabilities versus sustaining the experience is a delicate balance. I
focus on allocating in capabilities that help my customers achieve their
goals.
Resource Allocation: Self Service is everyone’s business in the
organization. Clearly defining roles and responsibilities will help in
reducing chaos and confusion. At the end of the day customers lose
if the resources are not available at the time of need
.
Listen and Respond: Ask these questions: Am I listening to my
customer? What am I doing with the information? Active listening is
key to the success of Self Service. Without a listen and respond plan
all the effort becomes ineffective.
For InfoPedia, our growth rates have been a satisfying hockey stick-
shaped adoption rate.
