Channel Fragmentation Is Now The Norm

+
400 social networks with over 1 million users = 2 billion mobile Internet users + 100 million
aggregate audience of about 900 million next-gen smart phone users across hundreds of
device types

Have Become The De Facto Primary
Channels for Customer Engagement


So Customers Have Moved...
And Companies Have Fallen Behind

• Mobile
• Social
• New Digital Channels

• Approximately 1 Billion “Digital Natives” Have
Migrated In the Last 3 Years



Companies Know
The Problem Will
Only Get Worse

 Outdated frameworks and operational strategies often relegate discussions to
incremental ﬁxes and piecemeal approaches
 Although @ComcastCares has over 10 employees responding in new customer
engagement channels like Twitter, they can’t scale.
 A proliferation of new social networks and mobile apps are appearing at an
increased pace – organizations are falling further behind.
 The result – large amounts of waste in fragmented data, customer records,
touchpoints, and experiences – leaving companies unable to efﬁciently reach
customers, prospects, and partners.



Change Keeps Coming:
The Rise of Social and Mobile Apps

PepsiCo Digital Chief: “The majority of social interaction will happen via mobile” - Feb

The worldʼs most important channels...



What do new engagement channels really provide?

• Radical reductions in cost of
doing business (i.e. 30% reduced
support costs)

• Dramatic improvements in
customer sat scores
• Real-time response to
customer needs & critical
situations
• Access to deep pools of
innovation
• Revenue growth (increased See Case Studies Section
top-of-line sales and service
numbers)


High Impact Social Business Stories


Origin Stories for
Social Business
• Open Source Software (OSS)
•
• The Search for Steve Fossett
• Innocentive
• AOL Social Talent Pool +
Problem = Innovation

• CIA and A-Space


Whatʼs the best way to interact with someone
under 30?

• Have a mobile app on their ﬁrst
screen.
• Those under 30 rank text
messaging as their #1 form of
communicating, followed by
Facebook.
• These are the critical and future
new channels in which to have
deep marketing effectiveness.
• The primary future of marketing
will be in “large scale social
experiences.”



How Customer Engagement Is Evolving
Large Scale Social Experiences



Case Study: HBO



Where is the social business opportunity in
workforce engagement?
• Increased levels of productivity that were inaccessible until now
• Enablement of tacit interactions on a previously unknown scale
(Source: McKinsey & Company)

Enterprise 2.0 has
the potential to
increase productivity
in complex
interactions, where
previous attempts
have largely failed



The 50 Foot Collaboration Rule
• Workers are not likely to
collaborate very often if
they are more than 50 feet
apart:

Take Away:
Surmounting this
obstacle is now
• Even with traditional possible with social
electronic aids such as
telephone, e-mail, and technologies

Significant Social Business Examples
• - 50x ROI in
high value scenarios
• - 29% reduction in e-
mail volume after making
social their primary
business channel
• and Atos
Origin - Eliminating e-mail
entirely while moving to
social channels
• Gold Corp - $3.5 billion in
value generated through


• Telecommunications giant wanted workers to
be much more collaborative (driven by the From Greg Lowe, Enterprise 2.0 Lead:
CEO)
• 77,000 employees scattered across the globe
previously using primarily process-focused
tools like SharePoint
• Began experimenting with Yammer back in
2008, now over 9,300 workers using it
- Users began reporting Ibeneﬁts: a problem.'”
“Yammer saved me three days of trying to ﬁnd who should talk to about

• Spent 13 months working on formal E2.0
implementation, which rolled out earlier in
2010 on Jive Software
• Users have been mobilizing and self-
organizing, such as sales groups that have
created social groups to share best practices
and internal techniques



Human Resource Implications for Social Business
• HR is ground zero for internal and external social
media
• Example: CHROs we talk to are fielding requests from
employees to create Facebook groups to collaborate
- Primary Cause: Employees are not given basic
collab tools in most firms
- One CHRO at a large financial services firm has
received over 50 such requests in 2010 alone
• Increasingly, HR is actually getting in the driverʼs
seat
- Policies
- Guidance and Support
- Professional Development
- “Air Cover”


Social Business in the Workplace

- More innovative products and
services,
- More effective marketing and
customer care

How do we best organize for Social Business?


Cross Border Example: Social CRM



How can we have meaningful conversations
with a million customers?

Example:



The Rise of Social CRM

• Deﬁnition: Better, more effective
customer interaction that
leverages the collective
intelligence of the broader
customer community to create
signiﬁcant business value.
• Industry leaders include Lithium,
Jive, GetSatisfaction, Salesforce,
and a rapidly growing host of
other offerings
• Most Social CRM vendors are
focusing on a broader range of
interaction beyond just Q&A
• Social CRM improves customer
satisfaction, drives down costs,
and increases innovation and
growth Industry Lesson: Most SCRM
implementors will reap a ~30% cost
reduction

support users per year (over 20 million of
social support transactions a year.) Used
extensively in multiple product lines in their
SMB division.
• Long struggled to use software to compete with live
human beings (H&R Block, the previous #1 tax
preparer)
– Decided to collaborate with customers to help support their
users during an extremely time intensive yearly process: tax
season
– New process allowed anyone, either workers or customers, to
answer customer support questions in real-time
– Greatly lowered abandonment of the product and make
TurboTax the #1 product in the space for the ﬁrst time

Mobile Customer Engagement Cases



A new risk: Mobile disintermediation

• Customers want ease,
control, speed, and
results
• Offerings in a silo or
from on perspective are
becoming less appealing
• Aggegrators are actively
driving disintermediation
• Companies need to move
their thinking up a level
• Or there is a good
chance they will lose the
primary touch point with
the customer (re:
Google, Apple,
PageOnce)



What are the social business imperatives?
• Become digital natives: Invest
profoundly in understanding new social
business competencies
• Develop engaging social experiences
for your workers and customers
• Create high impact social business
solutions related to your lines of
business
• Reconcile traditional communication,
marketing, learning, and HR with social
business models New LG Mobile Concept Devices

• Experiment while not worrying about
succeeding slowly at ﬁrst
• Design your business for constant
change and growing loss of control
