No passion or energy for their company. • Actively Disengaged – Undermine the engaged workers. Not only Unhappy but actively undermining the work of the engaged workers. Out to damage the work!

13. Why Enterprise Social Intranets? Satisfaction levels are higher than both email and Instant messaging.

14. It’s Better… • ESNs for employee communication has been rated higher than all previous forms. (Email, intranet, emails, newsletters, distribution lists) • Quality of responses are higher when compared to email. • Reduces meetings and more. – Deloitte Study (TMT Preditions)

17. Higherarchy is the bottleneck to speed… • Organizations see a 25% boost in productivity with social technologies…

19. Deloitte predicted that by the end of 2013 90% of Fortune 500 companies will have partially or fully deployed an Enterprise Social Network 2011 ESN deployment was at 30%

20. Yammer is growing fast… Yammer - last year, registered users have increased 55% to almost 8 million (July 2013) 200,000 leading companies 85% of Fortune 500

21. What is Success? • ADOPTION: By its own nature, ESN tends to be adopted virally, spreading inside a department or a local office. Sometimes it's a fad and dies, sometimes it consolidates in the department, sometimes it contagiously expands to nearby departments. Global Adoption across the organization is the ultimate goal.PARTICIPATION INEQUALITY: well known principle in social media, usually described as the "1-9-90 rule": only 1% of users produce content, 9% interacts with it, 90% consumes it (that is, reads it). Of course this is why "readers" are often considered "active“… but what is active???

22. Social Challenges

23. Provide and Pray… • Although social technologies are employed by 70 percent of organizations… Gartner said most social collaboration initiatives fail because they follow a worst practice approach of "provide and pray", leading to a 10 percent success rate. 

24. Why Social Collaboration Fails Social collaboration initiatives that have a clear and compelling purpose from the outset tend to succeed. While this may seem obvious, the vast majority of organizations treat collaboration as a platform decision, rather than a solution to a specific business problem or a route to a desired outcome.  -- “Gartner Says the Vast Majority of Social Collaboration Initiatives Fail Due to Lack of Purpose” http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2402115?goback=.gde_3904592_member_237431818

30. No Friction… for Yammer Microsoft has changed its licensing to include Yammer Enterprise in its Office 365 Enterprise plans at no extra charge. Yammer Enterprise, which costs $3 per user per month when sold standalone, was previously bundled with Office 365 Enterprise only for customers with Enterprise Agreement volume licensing plans. Office 365 Enterprise customers will also no longer be required to buy Yammer licenses for users on external networks, Mike Grafham, Yammer's "head of customer success," told CRN in a Wednesday interview. "We're trying to reduce friction in organizations collaborating with each other," he said.
