"I learned from the consultants that an efficient way to improve business processes was to get everybody who was involved in a process in the same room (if possible).Facilitated by the process leader, or external consultants, they had a workshop with the purpose to find pains and ideas on how to improve the process. These workshops were often effective, as they helped each person involved in a process to better understand the activities, needs and challenges of the other people who were involved in the same process. It helped them understand how they could help each other, and thereby how they could contribute to improving other parts of the process, and not just their own."

- They help you to improve existing processes by connecting different teams, or actually the people and their ideas, across organizational and geographical borders
- They help you to fix broken processes by allowing anyone who might have an idea for how to solve it, or even a solution ready, to get involved in the problem solving-process
- They help you ensure that the information resources you need to do your job are supplied, accessible and findable by involving everyone in the challenging tasks of information management instead of just a few select people.
If someone asks me how social software-powered communication and collaboration ties into business processes (without being specific about their processes), I can give them quite distinct answers:
"Even if you can’t measure exactly what you want, you can learn about the area with related data. You are not able to measure the exact benefit of a happy customer but you can get measures that give you evidence of the value and even magnitude. And you can get measures of the costs of dis-satisfied customers. I just mention this to be clear getting data is very useful and most organizations need to focus on gathering sensible data and using it well."
With a social infrastructure in place, a company will manage its resources with best efforts to produce intended, or expected, outcomes. In addition, the transformation will produce emergent outcomes. Doing business differently will produce different results: product breakthroughs, process improvements, and broader interpersonal connections.
