1) Enterprise social tools allow dispersed work teams to stay connected and collaborate virtually through asynchronous and broadcast communication methods like Yammer and by working out loud. 2) Social tools improve knowledge management by enabling rapid access to expertise and information from coworkers through questions and sharing of resources, as opposed to traditional systems that are difficult to search. 3) While social tools can grow organically, planning and governance are important to achieve business goals and ensure rules and leadership guide appropriate use.

Editor's Notes
- There are many obstacles that get in the way of ‘frictionless collaboration’
- Our environment is fragmented: we keep stuff on the C or X drive, in email, in SharePoint and now, in Yammer
- What tool do I use – should I create a blog or a wiki in SharePoint, or use Yammer Yammer can store files, what do I do about that?
- I’m excited about the change that is just ahead. Microsoft is creating an environment of much more ‘frictionless’ collab
- Is this what we’re talking about for enterprise social? NO: This is personal social, and as far as companies are involved it falls under part of digital marketing The part in common is that we are using virtual networks of people to share information How do ENTERPRISES use these social tools?
- A brand, an organization is engaging with their customers on social media
- Sell you something directly
- Engage more fully with their product
- But… engagement is really a synonym for “getting you to buy more, at some point”
- Finding potential candidates to hire… Finding who’s who at your target customers LinkedIn excels at these tasks
- It’s been six months since these two friends met up… How’s the conversation go? Hey man, how are you? Good, good! You? Oh yeah, good – Busy! Yeah, me too – really busy! So, what’s new? Awe, not much, how about you? You know, same old same-old…
- I’ve learned an interesting lesson from being part of the SharePoint community and being on Facebook. Many of us are on FB, but I think this experience is a bit different from most people… I have a fairly large community of people who I consider to be friends, but whom I only see occasionally. Some I see 5, 6 times a year, others only once or twice, and some even less often.
- That I was working on a project in Vancouver Who I spent time with at SharePoint Saturday New York That my daughter graduated from University
- Seb, you’re looking good! You were out for a good 10 days there with that cold… Yeah, feeling ton’s better. Hey, I see you’ve been travelling to Vancouver a whole lot. Do you like it? I was thinking of heading out there on a vacation with the family… Congrats on your daughter’s grad – you must be proud… and hey, your eye looks great, can’t tell you had that problem We have a foundation for conversation that picks up from FB as if it never left off…
- Why does facebook add so much value to these situations? AND: How does this apply to the enterprise?
- We are not physically close to each other
- Even if we’re not a continent apart, we are not necessarily close enough to see each other every day, or even every week
- We have something in-common that brings us together… It can be family, it can be military unit, it can be sports club… but we have something. For me, it’s the SharePoint community
- We care about each other and about what’s happening in the lives of others.
- So, that’s Facebook… the question is how do similar tools translate to the enterprise?
- I work on a team where people are located across the country from each other, or are on-site at clients In your org it can be different reasons: different branches. Departments in other provinces or countries Or even just a large building where you don’t actually interact face-to-face that much
- Solving problems for customers (or balancing the books, or making sales, or whatever your cause may be)
- We work together – we want to succeed and we are engaged with each other (or, at least, we want to be)
- Being dispersed, yet needing to work together in some ways presents a problem… a problem that’s’ not addressed by email and instant message Let’s look at our modes of communication
- Email – Narrow: Discussions are lost, no one else has visibility Lync – Narrow: same as email (but immediate and synchronous Webinar/Conf call: Broad reach, but usually mostly one-way Social – Tools like yammer allow for asynchronous, broad communication The thing that’s new that social tools bring is to broaden communication. The stuff you post is highly visible, searchable, and available to be interacted with… But the tools to enable this are just TECHNOLOGY It leads to a new way of working.
- Implementing a new technology will not, alone, provide value. There needs to be a cultural shift in the way people work together.
- It’s called “Working out Loud”
- Definition of WOL is that your work is visible to others – they can see what you’ve done and how you’ve done it. In many ways, SharePoint enables this side of things The bigger, trickier, culture changing component is narrating your work. The essential ingredient is “In order to help others”. It’s not about your lunch, or what you think of your boss. It’s info that can potentially help another person
- Making your work visible - Fundamental Making your work better – others see it and provide feedback Leading with generosity – Contribute, it’s not about self promotion Building a social network – Expand your interactions beyond peers and immediate reports/supervisors Making it all purposeful – Having a goal in mind helps prevent this from becoming a time-suck
- Bring the team together virtually… We know what we’re all working on. We can offer help when needed We feel comfortable asking for help The boss is aware of her team, and doesn’t require as much status update work
- Before my next story, I want to take a detour into Microsoft’s messaging about the social enterprise
- Jack Welch: If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.
- You have a difficult problem to solve
- With your team, and individually, you come up with some really great ideas…
- Compile and deliver an awesome result
- And, it gets files for future reference and re-use
- I mean… it goes into a KM system of some type
- We’ll come back to this at the end.
- Another quick detour from the stories…
- Is it facebook for the enterprise
- It LOOKS pretty darn close!
- There are companies that have been virally infected with the free version of Yammer. It just grew on its own, and it has been successful. But this is not the same as enterprise success. Downside: “Don’t mention Yammer” story
- SharePoint and Yammer are better together SharePoint is good at document management with metadata and workflow and policy and permissions And SharePoint has contact lists and calendars and task lists Yammer doesn’t do any of that SharePoint is not great at discussions, forums, microblogging, easy communication
- Realize it’s a cyclical process, not a destination. Careful planning and planning to execute is important Capacity to DELIVER new ideas on rapid cycles ENGAGE people at multiple levels
- From, pretty good, but with obstacles. To “Frictionless” collaboration
