12. MCKINSEY: PAYOFFS
We found statistically significant correlations
between self-reported corporate-performance
metrics & certain business processes that
networked enterprises use …. [T]hese organizations
use social tools to scan external environments.
Second, they use them to match employees to
tasks: internal wikis & social networks help project
leaders to identify employees with the most
appropriate skills & to assign these employees to
the projects for which they are best suited.
