" People buying social software want to make sure their employees will use it. They want to understand the best way to phase-in enterprise social networking and work with employees to post and share information.
These questions are logical because they are almost always coming from their past experiences with existing portals and intranets that may not have had the ROI and usage expected of them. Therefore, many prospective buyers of Enterprise Social tools want to really map out adoption best practices, with a heavy emphasis on driving people to actively participate, and measure and track that activity, i.e. posting messages."
-
Unlike many intranets where the information is static or out of date, the true value of enterprise social comes from having your entire company engaged in real-time collaboration anywhere they happen to be.
-
Of course people who share their knowledge and experiences by posting are critical, but a passive user who is quickly and easily engaged through social business gets tremendous value out of the platform even if they don’t post.
"It is not uncommon to think that knowing is something that goes on in the brain. Yet the evidence that it is really so is not quite clear. Some scientists have expressed doubts. The mind, they have argued, is not a thing to which a place can be allocated. Intellectual life is essentially social and interactive, they say. Life is carried on through communication between people. These researchers claim that interactions are not secondary by-products of thinking. They are the primary sites of that activity."
-
People should know what the live, future-creating ideas are and how to take part in the conversation in a value-adding way. This is independent of what people do, or the organizational unit they belong to.
-
The management task is to understand (1) what is being discussed, (2) the quality of that conversation, and (3) whether there is movement forward or people are running in circles. Are people stuck?

In Brazil, where paternalism and the family business fiefdom still flourish, I am president of a manufacturing company that treats its 800 employees like responsible adults. Most of them –including factory workers – set their own working hours. All have access to the company books. The vast majority vote on many important corporate decisions. Everyone gets paid by the month, regardless of job description, and more than 150 of our management people set their own salaries and bonuses.

"Yet, though C-level involvement is one of the single most effective ways to gain approval for the needed resources, functional cohesion, and organizational priority, it's also a good recipe for bottling up internal social media in a manner that ends up moving it through the traditional IT project machine. This oft-careworn process is usually a well-established -- and largely well-intentioned -- "sausage maker" for repeatably fielding new IT solutions in a linear and highly structured fashion (though it's showing serious signs of age.)"
-
The nature of open-ended in this discussion is vital and nuanced. Social media finally thrived, most arguably through the rise of RSS, which created a sort of "Unix pipe" for the social world. This allowed the fragmented conversations of blogs to be perceived externally as single albeit decentralized conversations

"Dans l’exercice de communication qu’entreprennent les entreprises sur le web il existe bien entendu les initiatives de digital marketing sur les produits et services qu’elles délivrent, mais il y a aussi l’ensemble de la démarche de communication corporate tels que l’e-reputation, le marketing RH et la marque employeur. Si aujourd’hui il n’y a plus rien d’original à entreprendre cette démarche sur le web, il y a quelques éléments clés qui vont permettre des approches innovantes et assurer une performance plus importante et durable."

Cette confiance digitale se construit dans le temps, au fil des interactions entre l’entreprise et les différents interlocuteurs virtuels.

Le second élément est de créer une relation de profondeur avec les membres du réseau. La relation de profondeur est basée sur le niveau d’interaction entre les différentes parties prenantes. Il faut faire participer, faire interagir les parties prenantes pour créer de la valeur

"Employees are a key element in social business. As a company starts to activate and officially sanction its employees to publish social media and use social technology, the details of managing the participation of a diverse workforce get tricky quickly."
-
Management almost never wants non-exempt (e.g. hourly) workers to get paid overtime for participating in social media – say an internal community or answering support issues on Twitter while representing the brand.
-
Most of the people I know who are involved in social media are of the white-collar salaried variety. Many of them participate in order to gain a competitive edge in their work. But what happens when the rest of the company gets involved? In particular, when the participation happens for corporate benefit and being social becomes part of the job…how should employers reward this value creation?

"Most knowledge repositories focus on the role of knowledgecreators. In this paper, by contrast, we examined the work of Lurkers in an enterprise file-sharing service, and we compared
their lurking behaviors to the lurking behaviors of users who uploaded files (Uploaders), and users who contributed metadata about files (Contributors)."
"At the New MR Virtual Festival, Diane Hessan of Communispace said one of the most frequently asked questions she gets is, “What are the critical successful factors for a community?” Having built over 400 of them, Diane says, “We have probably made more community mistakes than anyone in the world!” Based on those experiences, and on extensive research on research that Communispace has done, Diane has identified 8 myths about successful research communities"
-
Myth: Communities can be valuable for almost any decision. There is a myth that you can just ask members about anything, figure out what they are saying, and move forward
-
Technology is important: you have to have a rich feature set; you need an ability to run with subsets; to profile community members, but engagement is the most important thing.

"The "real" Enterprise 2.0 is not a technology or marketing plan, but the reinvention of the enterprise itself. It's a rethinking of the structure, process, culture and even, in some cases, the very purpose of the enterprise.
With technology erasing barriers to participation and communication, we're seeing a change in the nature of how we go about running an organization."

This means that your ability to recognize where and when your information is valuable, and being recognized as a reliable source confers more status.

"In short, intranet 2.0 is very similar to a social intranet, but you can have 2.0 tools and not have a social intranet. Intranet 2.0 is simply a vague label (just as vague as the Web 2.0) applied to the collection of social media tools being used on the corporate intranet."
-
For the record, intranet 2.0 (note the consistent use of a non-capitalized “intranet”) merely describes, albeit vaguely, an intranet that features 2.0 or social media tools. Intranet 2.0 applications can include all of the fine social media we’ve come to love and overuse:
-
I defined the social intranet last week with the release of The Social Intranet white paper:
An intranet that features multiple social media tools for most or all employees to use as collaboration vehicles for sharing knowledge with other employees. A social intranet may feature blogs, wikis, discussion forums, social networking, or a combination of these or any other Web 2.0 (intranet 2.0) tool with at least some or limited exposure (optional) from the main intranet or portal home page.
"While some companies, notably Netflix (the just renewed the Netflix Prize) and Emporis (real estate data), have built their own crowdsourcing capabilities internally, this is not something most companies are experienced with or prepared to do themselves. It also often doesn't make sense to build a crowdsourcing environment in-house unless the work to be done is strategic to the business. For these organizations there are now commercial services available which have all the necessary ingredients to begin using them right away to crowdsource."
-

-
While Internet startups have had considerable success with crowdsourcing over the last few years, including with its more serious cousin peer production, it's only recently that they've focused on creating the tools and communities that can be readily consumed by enterprises.

"Peter Drucker est le premier à définir le Knowledge Worker en 1929. L’excellent David Weinberger (un des terroristes du Cluetrain Manifesto) peut bien dire qu’il s’agit là d’une définition pompeuse, elle n’en reste pas moins prodigieusement visionnaire. Toute sa théorie sur les organisations du XXème siècle est articulée autour de ce travailleur de la connaissance."
-
Cette notion de management participatif est aussi au coeur de la reflexion de Peter Drucker :
Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions or that only senior executives’ decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.

"I am a strong believer that organizations, should focus and facilitate the use of these tools in order to maximize organizational benefits. To drive value, I've often referred to the engagement factors and in this post I wanted to focus on ons of the factors, "Motivation".
How do we address motivation? Do we adopt the "build it and they will come" approach? No. But what about Wikipedia? it seems like complete "self-organization" has made it successful. But consider that only 1% of the people who visit Wikipedia actually contribute content. That's alright with a population set of the world, but 1% of your company may not be enough and if you have specific objectives you may need to motivate others to participate"

In fact, bigger incentives causes worse results for cognitive tasks.

Fun, as a design principle shouldn't be overlooked as it impacts the application design from look and feel, through context, content and process. It also should be addressed when designing events leveraging social computing technologies
“Enterprise 2.0 is about applications where business value is determined through the contributions of participants.”
Significant changes are taking place in management and especially project management today. We hear that organizations, like the New York Times, Tribune Co., Ernst & Young switched from the so-called top-down management style to bottom-up management. Others, including some of the world’s biggest corporations, such as Toyota and IBM, implemented bottom-up management style elements in some of their departments. The popularity of the bottom-up approach to management is growing. In spite of this fact, the discussions about the two major approaches are still hot. Why have organizations become so anxious about changing their management style? If we compare the two management approaches, the answer to this question will be clear.
-
. Team members are invited to participate in every step of the management process. The decision on a course of action is taken by the whole team. Bottom-up style allows managers to communicate goals and value, e.g. through milestone planning. Then team members are encouraged to develop personal to-do lists with the steps necessary to reach the milestones on their own.
-
These methods include are Enterprise 2.0 technologies – wikis, blogs, social networks, collaboration tools, etc. They come into organizations and change the original way of executing projects. They turn traditional project management into Project Management 2.0 and bring new patterns of collaboration, which are based on collective intelligence. Collective intelligence is a collection of valuable knowledge from different fields that each project team member is an expert in. This knowledge is now successfully collected and shared shared in a flexible, collaborative environment brought by second-generation project management software. The project manager is the one to conduct the work of his team and choose the right direction for the project development, based on the information received from the individual employees.
We examined the activity of a random sample of 300,000 Twitter users in May 2009 to find out how people are using the service. We then compared our findings to activity on other social networks and online content production venues. Our findings are very surprising.
Whereas, existing organisational teams wanting to form a community are a bit harder as the team already has a structure and dynamic, instead of it being born in the community.
They like having order and one community being the definitive hub for a topic, but the problem is that this community is too big, and people don’t always feel comfortable participating in such a big circle.
Smaller communities are better as people trust their peers and feel confident to participate, plus they have a similar shared context, so community activity is to your calibre…soon it becomes your favourite coffee shop to hang out and talk with your favourites friends about your favourite topic.
-
1. Usually the lead wants to build a community for their people (a one stop shop of conversations and documents for their business unit). So we build a community for hundreds of people, and structure it by region or topic or sub-teams etc.
-
2. Another idea, much to the chagrin of the lead, is to have many communities, as now there will be more places to visit to find information, but that’s OK because we can perhaps aggregate or be able to batch communities together and search multiple communities in one go.
