Moving Beyond the Knowledge Base to the Social Knowledge ExchangeBlue Economy Agency
In today’s world, effective knowledge sharing within an organization helps to attract talent, to build revenue and to inspire innovation, all of which lead to competitive advantage. Historically, the dissemination of information has happened through a system of content platforms and static document sharing, often via email. Those old paradigms no longer apply in the real-time socially connected world of today. Leveraging social platforms to tap the collective mindshare of the organization is not only important, it's mission critical for success.
These slides from our recent webinar with ClimateWorks and Forrester Research demonstrate how innovation is pushing the boundaries of knowledge management and moving us into the era of the Social Knowledge Exchange.
Kate Leggett, Forrester’s leading expert analyst on knowledge management will lead the conversation and provide industry trends and insights on the future of the Social Knowledge Exchange. We'll also hear from Sarah Nichols, Director of Knowledge Management for ClimateWorks, a foundation dedicated to supporting public policies that prevent dangerous climate change, and learn how ClimateWorks uses its social intranet to:
Create a central services portal that connects its global network of non-profits
Connect systems of record to systems of engagement
Develop innovative UX search and content discovery mechanisms
Apply best practices to increase intranet adoption and usage.
Social Transformation: Accelerating Industry at the Pace of SocialBlue Economy Agency
The integration of the enterprise is upon us. Social technologies have brought upon us a new era of distributed knowledge with people at their center.
While social software has been growing in use among knowledge workers, it is rarely cited as a benefit to traditional industry. Yet, using today's modern E2.0 technologies - we are witnessing a technological renaissance that promises to bring new life to many embattled industry sectors.

Social Technology
by Marti A. Hearst
We are in the midst of extraordinary
change in how people interact with one
another and with information. A
combination of advances in technology
and change in people's expectations is
altering the way products are sold,
scientific problems are solved, software
is written, elections are conducted, and
government is run.
People are social animals, and as Shirky
notes, we now have tools that are
flexible enough to match our in-built
social capabilities. Things can get
done that weren't possible before
because the right expertise, the missing
information, or a large enough group of
people can now be gathered together at
low cost.
These developments open a number of
interesting questions for NSF and CISE.
What are the key research problems? How
should these developments change how
research is conducted? How can the
intersection of social science and
technology research be aided or
improved? And how should this effect
how NSF researchers get involved with
relevant government efforts, including
transparent government, emergency
response, and citizen science?
In this talk I attempt to summarize
and put some structure around some of
these developments.
This presentation describes the radical changes taking place in today's large corporation. A special emphasis is given toward the role HR can play in driving leadership and organizational change. Case study material is also presented.
Enterprise IT is facing enormous change with changing user expectations, SaaS/PaaS based software delivery models and technologies such as mobile devices, big data and enterprise 2.0. This workshop will take the CIOs and IT Leaders to a participative journey of imagineering Enterprise IT of the future, with its unique challenges and payoffs.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, gave the Holmes Distinguished Lecture at Colorado State University on April 13, 2018. He discussed the research the Center conducted with Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center about the future of the internet and the way digital technologies will spread to become the “internet of everywhere” and “artificial intelligence” everywhere. He also explored the ways in which experts say this will create improvements in people’s lives and the new challenges – including privacy, digital divides, anti-social behavior and stress tests for how human social and political systems adapt.

First Firecat Friday presentation: tools, best practices and design insights we've put to work for organizations of all sizes to help groups and teams work on projects, share ideas, keep track of files, stay on top of tasks -- while feeling like a team.
Enterprises always look for ways to help employees collaborate with each other more effectively that leads to faster and higher-quality work, which, in turn, drives increased productivity. Though most enterprises keep employee collaboration on top of their corporate agenda, they still lag behind to drive that force to its optimum level! Using traditional approaches for attaining high productivity and innovation among employees are no more beneficial and effective in fast-technology pace and people oriented work space environments.
Reducing information asymmetry with Enterprise 2.0 Jeroen Derynck
Enterprise 2.0 enables organizations to become more social and collaborative.... Deploying the right tools is the small step - creating a culture of openess is the real challenge
How can companies use their internal communities of practice to collaborate, innovate and grow?
This paper explores the elements of internal on-line community success, and provides examples of how Schneider-Electric addresses this challenge.
Leveraging social media across the organizationHermes F
In today’s socially driven digital landscape, the enterprise must adapt to leverage the social capitol and knowledge of its employees. Change is not instant and companies will need to deploy various solutions to meet its employees’ businesses needs. The true power of social media lies within unifying the various communication platforms to create and grow their knowledge base.
Leveraging
Social computing is a rapidly growing and constantly evolving technology that is aimed at increasing communication, encouraging collaboration, and enhancing productivity among people and resources. Social computing applications or Web 2.0 are built on a range of advanced and supporting technologies that enhance collective action and interaction which currently dominates the Web (Parameswaran & Whinston 2007).
Social computing applications are categorized into social media, social bookmarking, and social networks categories as identified by the continuing Web 2.0 trend (Schwartz et al. 2009; Amer-Yahia, 2009). Each of these categories has been embodied by various social software and web sites. Some of the best-known and equally famous social web sites that dominate the web are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Delicious, and LinkedIn.

ITS 833 – INFORMATION GOVERNANCE
Chapter 13 Information Governance for Social Media
Dr. Sandra J. Reeves
[email protected] J. Reeves 2018

This chapter deals with Information Governance for Social Media. You see in the lower left corner the logo for the website where I acquired the theme for the Power Point slide. I chose to use more of a “cartoon” view with the two people in the lower right corner getting acquainted for two reasons. First, it is almost comedic the kinds of ridiculous things that people will post on social media sites, and second the cartoon depicts two people “getting acquainted”, which is also what happens often on social media. Going back to the first comment, not only will people make complete and utter fools of themselves on social media, they demonstrate their lack of common sense and reasoning. In addition, some people commit criminal acts and then boast about it on social media. Social media is used frequently in child custody cases to demonstrate when a parent has used such poor judgment that it does not serve in the best interest of their children for them to have custody and control over those children. Having said that, there are appropriate and positive uses for social media.

Making the Most Out of Your Company's Expertisetibbr
In the professional services industry, expertise is one of your most valuable resources. Yet it's often fragmented and distributed haphazardly around your whole organization.

HLB Mann Judd, the fast growing, dynamic network of professional accounting firms and business advisors, is no exception to this rule. They recognized that endless email chains and phone-tag aren't the best way to communicate and share information. So they turned to an Enterprise Social Network because the research firm, McKinsey Global Institute, estimated that an ESN can streamline the internal search for experts and information by 35 percent.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays

How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

2. When collaboration meets community:
How enterprise social networking is transforming business
Twenty-five years ago, email was the big collaboration buzzword. The transformative technology
made it easier for people to work together—and still does today. But, as business technologist
Richard Rashty recalls, “Unknown to us practitioners, silos were being formed. If you were not
on an email thread, you were out of the conversation.”
The same can be said of intranets and other collaborative technologies. “Just being able to
collaborate on documents, projects, send large attachments and instantly communicate,”
Rashty continues, “did not fundamentally transform the enterprise to leverage the ‘Collective
Intelligence’ of organizations.”
Enter LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites.
Here was collaboration’s missing piece—the social aspect—made possible through public profiles,
lists of connections and the ability to interact with people in context. People using their personal
social networks wanted to have the same experience at work, but that challenged IT’s demands
for privacy, security and compliance.
The next logical step is what we have today: secure social networking platforms built for the
enterprise. Most analysts agree that these tools will be pervasive in just a few short years, and
companies will join in or start losing market share.
The old way of doing things, according to Rashty, limits “your company’s ability to innovate and
adapt to changing business conditions.” An integrated social network removes roadblocks and
cuts corporate red tape. “Align the technology with business models fostering employee and
customer empowerment, and an organization’s culture can become its greatest asset,” Rashty said.
Today’s enterprise social networking tools break through old paradigms by virtue of their all-inclusive
and asynchronous nature. The suite of new tools—including microblogs and activity streams—
go beyond basic online collaboration in the following ways:
1
3. 1 Enterprise social networking enables faster innovation
A community space, makes company initiatives more transparent and open to contributions
from every corner. Everyone in an organization—even customers and suppliers—fosters innovation
and continuous improvement.
Social gives employees faster access to knowledge. Rather than sending an email to a limited
group of people, they can openly broadcast a question and get quality responses from colleagues
—often instantaneously. This helps to solve problems and drive innovation. Blogs and wikis around
specific subjects also help connect employees to subject-matter experts, uniting them with a
shared purpose.
2 Enterprise social networking creates better group dynamics
Social networking tools let managers pull together employees to work on projects, with a greater
sense of visibility and teamwork. Documents and updates are more easily shared. Subject-focused
blogs and microblogs keep people on task across multiple time zones. And combined with voice
over IP, these tools reduce travel and telecommunication costs.
3 Enterprise social networking puts power in knowledge
Knowledge management has always been difficult because memories fade and people move on.
But with social networking tools, almost everything can be stored, searched and cross-referenced
—preserving the collective wisdom of the organization. Formerly static, sidebar and forgotten
communications become searchable dialogues that can be referenced and refreshed. And better
decisions are made based on this shared information.
Conclusion
Social networking is here to stay in the enterprise. Organizations that are embracing these tools—
nearly half of all companies by most estimates—have seen dramatic improvements in factors like
time to market, employee morale and innovation. Businesses that put off the inevitable will miss
opportunities to become more agile and effective, with potentially costly results.
