Smart organisations want to make the most of their people. Five year’s ago Vodafone’s CEO recognised that their SharePoint based Intranet had too much one way communication, no real social element, was hard to use and things were difficult to find. His aim was to cut costs, share knowledge and help his people find experts to answer questions internally without having to go outside of the organisation. Vodafone could see the social media sharing culture that was going on in the wider world and they wanted to bring that style of culture inside the company. I sat down with Stanley Awuku, Vodafone’s Internal Digital Experience Manager, and one of the speakers at our upcoming Enterprise Digital Summit, to hear more about their story.

Communities of Practice [CoPs] are are viewed as an excellent way to discover, share and keep key knowledge in the organization -- especially critical tacit/informal knowledge that is hard to document and retrieve. When management decides to implement CoPs they usually take an approach similar to drawing the organization chart -- they start slotting people into groups/communities where they "should be." This method is rarely successful because it ignores the many relationships, knowledge exchanges, and information flows that have already emerged around any capability, skill, interest, or process in an organization.

So great advances often combine both elements: Close collaboration and the opportunity to stumble across people who have access to useful knowledge through second and third degree links.

If managers want employees to feel their ideas can be heard and listened to, there’s a lot to be said for an ESN.Microblogs and Ideas Portals provide colleagues with a space to express their ideas, and for these to be discussed by their peers. Of course, not all of these ideas and discussions will end up being used, but of those which do have legs, ESN can help them run.

By allowing employees to participate in a work-sponsored internal social networking site (SNS), a company can improve morale and reduce turnover, according to a case study coauthored by Hope Koch, associate professor of Information Systems; Dorothy Leidner, the Ferguson Professor of Information Systems and director of the PhD Program in Information Systems; and Ester Gonzalez, a graduate of Baylor's PhD Program in Information Systems who now teaches at Washington State University. The study "Bridging The Work/Social Divide: The Emotional Response To Organizational Social Networking Sites" was published in the European Journal of Information Systems.

Best practice is to make social business a multi stakeholder project – IT, HR, IC, Legal but also the rest of the business, from Customer Service, to Sales, Marketing and Innovation. It is a transition that should be owned by the entire organisation. The organisational culture and processes have to be championed by the top management together with the senior stakeholders representing core areas. Even if their culture is not necessarily the most mature, their needs of efficiency, productivity and cost saving are big. Similar goals make collaborating across geographical boundaries and organisational silos a priority.
A key part of the Seek > Sense > Share framework for PKM is to find new ways to explain things, or add value to existing information.

A tartalomgyűjtés és tartalomgondozás csak egy ideális világban szól az információk legjavának megtalálásáról. (A média világa pedig távolról sem az.) Honnan tudhatjuk, hogy a kínált tartalom valóban a legjobbak közé tartozik, az ajánlás mögött nincs valamilyen üzleti érdek? Hogyan győződhetünk meg arról, hogy a hivatkozott forrás nem lopott anyagot tartalmaz?

Mr Stepper believed that companywide social technologies, if embraced, could help employees communicate more openly about their work, expand their professional networks and improve their quality of life. It had become apparent that opportunities to communicate and connect using social platforms outside of work far exceeded what was possible at the bank. He believed that expanding communication at work using similar social technologies would benefit employees and the company.
Mr Stepper knew that launching the new “myDB” platform would be only the beginning—he would also have to work to change a culture that shared information primarily on a “need-to-know” basis and make open communication acceptable.

Each organisation is different, but what makes some better than others? Products, technology or even strategies can be copied over time. But one thing that is very hard to copy, and is a key success factor, is talented people. It’s up to companies to see how they can bring the best out of their people. Employee engagement is the answer. Many studies have shown that companies with an engaged workforce are outperforming those without one.

A közösségi együttműködést bankhoz is lehet hasonlítani: minél többet invesztálunk, annál többet kapunk vissza.
