Adopting Web 2.0 for business value Understanding the business imperatives Changing the way we work Driving business value: innovation, relationships, results
Gaining value from the social network A social network is a network of people But it is not about the people themselves …  value is in the  relationship  – and the reciprocal activity of giving and receiving The value is in the weak ties “ enterprises are looking at how they can harness the hierarchy-flattening, information-sharing, teambuilding power of social networks ”  (Deloitte)
Finding expertise in the network
Social paths help broaden reach
Visualization aids understanding
Example: Value to sellers Find Expertise Develop Relationships Discover Existing Knowledge Share Information Value to Seller Business Impact High-Performing Team Attributes Seller  Activities Team members seek ideas/expertise from people external to the team Diverse perspectives valued Denser social  networks Team members work together to ensure the client is successful Team communicates well on client activities/issues and how to respond Know where to look for expertise and aid Establish long term networks of expertise Discover and reuse existing knowledge, or expertise Become a network resource; collaborate on more deals Improve productivity; focus on client success Build relationships to experts and resources Increase efficiency through knowledge reuse Reinforce value of Team IBM
Study finding: Members of high performing teams use social software more than low performing  Sales Performance database Low- Performing High- Performing Social SW Users Non Users $ $ Social SW Users Non Users Low-perfoming  SW sales teams High-perfoming  SW sales teams $
Summary: Value to the business Business opportunity Value from openness and transparency Surfacing skills and knowledge  Global execution Organizational effectiveness The best skills on the job Process revealed Productivity and performance Employee flexibility Location  Growth opportunities
Fostering collaboration in IBM Identify use cases, best practices and tools – by role, by task Make it easy to get started Share tools, enablement materials, best practices Generate “buzz” Share the vision Communicate success stories Tap key influencers as early adopters Grassroots evangelism

Lessons learned in enterprise  social software adoption What Works: Lead with  use cases and success stories  – by role, by task Modular enablement  – mix and match – lightweight and in multiple formats Volunteer ambassadors  who are motivated by passion & validation Reward systems  – formal, informal, fun Multiple approaches  to experiencing social software Injecting social software into existing tooling as well as using new Emphasizing all levels of participation  What Does Not Work: Leading with tools discussion – instead relate to user tasks Evangelizing without context –  instead use use cases and success stories by role Living in the echo chamber – recognize what's not “obvious” knowledge to the audience Forgetting there's no clean slate – approach must accommodate multiplicity

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Abstract: Web 2.0 has had its impact on business, our products, our services, and most importantly, our people. More participative, transparent behaviors and processes have enabled change in how we communicate with each other about our business. Employees and clients alike see business value in enterprise social software adoption. It can help inspire innovation, build relationships and accelerate business results across the globe. Find out from two organizations how Web 2.0 is transforming their business. IBM discusses how it is transforming its own business beyond “early adopter” communities, across roles and locations, and inside and outside the firewall. Teach For America now engages its wide network of teaching corps members and alumni, staff, donors, and employer and graduate school partners to expand educational opportunities for all children.
