En veille sur les tendances et les besoins émergents des entreprises, la société Aastra a lancé une enquête en partenariat avec NotezIT, demandant aux cadres dirigeants des entreprises françaises de tous secteurs et toutes tailles confondus «Êtes-vous un collaborateur 2.0 ?». Cette enquête, publiée le 26 avril 2012, montre que si les dirigeants sont séduits, ils sont encore réticents au changement entrainés par ces outils 2.0. "

  • Ainsi l’étude d’Aastra montre que les entreprises privilégient l’intégration d’outils 2.0 orientés vers la productivité et la collaboration. En revanche, la notion d’e-réputation, pourtant vitale pour les entreprises, ne semble pas être entrée dans les mœurs ni dans les priorités stratégiques des sociétés.
  • En effet l’étude montre une fréquence d’utilisation quotidienne assez élevée pour les services 2.0 tels que les mails personnels (83 %), les services Wikis / blogs (34 %), LinkedIn / Viadeo (31 %) puis Facebook (26 %), MSN, Skype, Gtalk, (23 %), Twitter (21 %), YouTube (20 %).

"The world has been chapping our collective hides about metrics for social business. Customers want them, and not without reason. Our typical answers (ROI is irrelevant, What’s the ROI of your mother, it depends on the business problem) have some merit, but in the end, we still need to demonstrate the efficacy of social approaches to business challenges. Probably.

In reality we have very little to prove the worth of the Social Enterprise. We have some academic studies, we have some anecdotal evidence a few (very few) published use cases where metrics are involved, and we have a whole lot of “it makes sense, we feel it working”. The reason adoption has gone as far as fast as it has, is not about ROI. Rather, its because of a) the extent to which the old models are failing and b) the extent to which many people deeply resonate with the new models."

  • Predicting the ROI of any enterprise investment can be tricky. At my company, we have a whole team of people, called “Value Engineering” that dedicate their time to calculating these things. But when the topic is social business or enterprise 2.0, the challenge is much, much bigger. The reason is that the objective is to qualitatively change how work is done – how we view challenges and how we make progress.
  • Since these concepts have only been adopted slowly, and over only the last 3 to 5 years, we lack experience in understanding what these emergent outcomes should be (though we have plenty of theories about it), how to detect these outcomes, what is required to achieve them (though again, lots of theory), and, most importantly, in what time frames we should expect to see these outcomes

"It’s a pretty simple equation at the end of the day. When businesses decide to invest in technology, they are hoping to ultimately get more value back than they put in. The time windows for such investment are generally 2 years, more or less. This was recently validated for me as I helped judge the entries for the 2012 CIO 100 Awards. I was surprised that many companies expect 100% ROI in rather short periods of time, often in just sixth month for efforts that may have taken years to implement. Whether this is generally unrealistic or actually achievable is besides the point."

  • These days the talk in enterprise circles is about the next generation of IT, specifically what it is, why it’s valuable, and how to get there. This new wave of IT is generally accepted to revolve around smart mobile, cloud computing, big data, consumerization, and most germane this to discussion: social.

  • Social technology may not promise ROI in a conventional business sense, but the benefits can be culturally and logistically inherent, according to a recent report from Celent.
  • Some insurers, recognizing the value of sharing and openness across very large organizations, are engaging in the adoption of programs seeking a change in culture via communication networks. Based on the experience of these insurers, Celent lists five key benefits of social platforms: timeliness, visibility, discovery, sharing and crossing of boundaries.

"Last Friday I had the pleasure to deliver a keynote presentation to the McKinsey BTO team in Frankfurt.

The keynote focused on two topics:

1. How to measure the Return on Investment (RoI) by measuring the re-use of content during sales and project delivery and correlate it with the CRM Win/Lose Rate and Project Margin.

2. How to build a Social Value system - by evaluating the Social Value of users, content and metadata in social network and communities and create targeted value models to answer the question "What's in it for me" (WIIFM)."

  • Flexibility, not strategic goals - Having a strategy and an objective for implementing an internal social network is important, but flexibility is more important.  By their very nature, social networks evolve and adapt and find their own reasons-to-be.

"
Over the past few weeks I have participated in a suite of webinars and talks about online communities and their growing role in functional areas such as customer care. I have listened to, and debated with, countless community management specialists about community management best practices. I’ve heard a lot about keeping business strategy and community management aligned. There’s no question this is a critical success factor for social business — but the issue is whether or not this responsibility is part of the charter for the online community manager role."

  • Placing responsibility for business strategy on the community manager will ruin many a promising online community, with lasting negative consequences for the business, the brand and, most of all, community members and customers
  • Let’s look at the role of online community strategy. It starts at the highest level, based on the organization’s mission and vision, and then proceeds to the business goals and business processes for the community itself. It is a line-of-business function led by an executive stakeholder responsible for strategic alignment based on the goals, metrics, measures and ROI.

"“Can business processes and social media co-exist?” – This was one of the first big questions on day 2 of the Enterprise 2.0 Summit asked by Bertrand Duperrin from Nextmodernity and that question lead to a very interesting discussion of the role of social tools in the world of Business Process Management (BPM) – something that links nicely back to the theme from day 1 of harnessing the conversations taking place in the organization. Traditional BPM lack a proper feedback loop to ensure proper organizational learning, but if you intelligently integrate social tools, this gap may be filled."

  • If you just add a social layer inside the processes, you may find yourself creating ‘social silos’ effectively working against the purpose you are trying to accomplish
  • If we are to succeed with more ‘social’ business processes, we simply MUST get out there and involve people – all people.

"Dans le cas de l’entreprise sociale (ou Web 2.0) comme dans le cas de l’entreprise intranet dans les années 90, c’est très difficile d’aligner les chiffres quand les stratégies totalement nouvelles avec des outils technologiques tout aussi nouveaux sont introduits et génèrent en plus des changements organisationnels majeurs. Il faut du temps avant de pouvoir compter sur des études de cas sérieuses et bien documentées."

"Now that initiatives have been in market, any reasonable business manager would expect to see program results. However, quantified results in social business and brands willing to stand behind them are difficult to find. But the truth is out there…and here are 101 examples of social business return on investment, roughly 60% revenue generation and 40% cost reduction. Each example lists brand, activity, and source + year."

"Measuring ROI on social software is an elusive topic, so it’s wonderful when I find projects that have managed to quantify it in some way. The following story focuses on a particular task, that of social tagging.

The Enterprise Tagging Service in IBM aims to provide an alternative approach to helping people find information compared to traditional search engines. Search based on keyword analysis often relies on a taxonomy that is rigid due to the way the software performs its structural analysis of web pages, identifying and classifying the keywords. Social tagging allows people to add human semantics to keywords that they define that sometimes can amount to finding a resource faster based on what people think is relevant. "

  • The ETS team instituted a survey to ask users howthis tool helped them. What they found was amazing when you look at itin context: the average person saved 12 seconds, across the 286000+searches performed through ETS each week. This sums up to 955 hourssaved each week across the company. In terms of cost savings, itamounts to a rough estimate of $4.6 million a year, in terms ofproductivity gain. The reusability of this page widget also resulted in$2.4 million in cost avoidance (reimplementing this for eachsite).
