Definition of Enterprise 2.0

“Enterprise 2.0 is the strategic integration of Web 2.0 collaboration technologies

into an enterprise's intranet, extranet and business processes.”


Com


“A social structure in which technology puts power in communities, not institutions.”Forrester

“Social Networking refers to systems that support the gathering, representation, processing, use, and dissemination of information that is distributed across social collectivities such as teams, communities, organizations, and markets. Moreover, the information is not "anonymous" but is significant precisely because it is linked to people, who are in turn linked to other people.” Wikipedia

“Enterprise social Networking solutions break down into individuals, groups, content, and the relationships among those three.”NewsGator

Social Networking with Twitter• Using a web page to demonstrate Twitter is like using a

web interface to demonstrate email. For many people. a dedicated desktop client helps clarify the value the of Twitter because they can show the results of custom searches.

• I’ve found that Twhirl, Tweetdeck, and Seesmic Desktop are all useful for demos and ongoing use of Twitter.

Facebook

*Facebook is built for better communication within Facebook. It’s easy to stay in contact with your network without jumping to outside email apps* Directly email anyone, even if you aren’t connected to them* Thousands of customizable apps, allowing recommendations, 2nd degree of separation, CRM like features, business cards


Com


Facebook

*Facebook is excellent in blog integration, photo sharing and tagging, video sharing, and groups. Facebook integrates well with Flickr & YouTube*Viral messaging features, which is great for spreading the word *500 million members and growing…fast. It’s 5x the size of LinkedIN

1st Wave 2nd Wave 3rd Wave: Social Networking

Evolution of Collaboration inside the firewall

“Social Networking is not a fad. Nor is it something that will pass you or your company by. Gradually, Social Networking will impact almost every role, at every kind of company, in all parts of the world. Firms

should approach Social Networking as an ongoing learning process, using some of the best practices of firms that have successfully taken the first steps.”1

Key Business Drivers


Com


Business Case for Social Computing Employees want to know each other

– Team members want to put a face with a name.

– Social profiles not only allow team members to know each other’s face, they also allow them to learn about shared interests.

– Understanding and knowing your team members builds trust and can lead to synergies and productive team work.


Com


• The business world is now becoming more interconnected and organizations that want to succeed in this new environment need to become more connected as well.

• Key questions we need to ask ourselves to be successful:

1. How can we work together better in teams in this new world?

2. How can we improve “effective” communication by connecting people to other people inside and outside our company?

3. How can we manage the flood of unstructured information that’s overflowing our inboxes?

Social Computing At Work

Where Are We Headed?3 Key Trends To Watch

• Trend #1: End users will continue to experiment with collaboration and social computing tools within the enterprise.

– If the tools aren’t available behind the firewall, consumer versions are being brought in, with associated issues of security and compliance.

– IT organizations will try to regain control by implementing enterprise collaboration strategies.

• Trend #2: Software as a service continues to build momentum.– Organizations are seriously consider cloud computing as an alternative

to building in-house infrastructure.

• Trend #3: Within 10 years, 80 percent of the work performed by employees will be collaborative rather than people working alone.

– Teams that work together are more frequently working in different locations and even during different hours of the day.

– The people now entering the work force are highly collaborative and community-centric.

• Is there a benefit? Companies often don’t know how to measure the ROI of collaboration.

• Why? They don’t know where to look! Collaboration doesn't often yield immediate and obvious benefits like when companies see when a new business application (i.e. ERP, CRM) boosts productivity.

• But…Research shows the direct & indirect benefits of collaboration may actually exceed the gains in efficiency from traditional investments in IT.

Why Should I Care?Unlocking The Business Value.


Com


Three places to look when searching for the ROI:1. Look for areas in your organization where sharing

and collaboration would promote cross-pollination of information between previously “siloed” groups, cross-functional teams or disparate locations.

2. Look for manual, time consuming, complex (i.e. costly) business processes that deal with multiple people, documents and paper.

3. Look for areas of your organization where innovation and sharing ideas leads to profit.

Why Do Some Enterprise Social Computing Projects

Miss The Mark?


Com


Top 3 Reasons Why Some Enterprise Social Computing Projects Miss The Mark

1. Stakeholders don’t start with “Why?”.

2. End-users don’t fully understand “What’s in it for me?”

3. The user experience is not as “engaging” and “intuitive” as mainstream social media tools.
