First, some what ifs….what if you needed to know…
• How much each department was spending on paper?
• If workers in Argentina got paid time off when they got
married?
• What type of ice-breaker exercises were successful in
Taiwan?
• A good joke to start a meeting in Poland?
• Where that presentation you saw two years ago could be
found?
• Who has done a presentation on employee social media
communication?
• The legal size desk in Tokyo?

A Recent Quote from
McKinsey
Why is This So Important?
“MGI estimates that companies can see improvements of as much
as 25 percent in knowledge worker productivity by more efficiently
and effectively communicating and finding information and
expertise, partly by uncovering the “dark matter” that would
otherwise lie buried in corporate emails. Communications on
social platforms form an easily searchable record, providing
valuable answers to questions for everyone who has access, not
just the email recipient. http://bit.ly/16rbbaS
