Anne said that when a social network is deployed internally separate from the workflow, it does not tend to drive productivity, as employees do not engage. There needs to be a compelling reason apart from the technology to make it work. It cannot be implemented as a utility without a specific value proposition tied to work processes. I am in strong agreement here as it correlates with my own experiences with knowledge management.

  • Companies who are interested in implementing the new social networking solutions need to start by identifying a business problem. This premise is almost as old as people but it so often ignored that we need to keep raising it. Every time there is a new hot technology, it can step on its own toes if we are not careful.
