Breaking Down Barriers (to enterprise social) in the Land of Dinosaurs

 it’s about Organizational Change
Not aligned with
our culture
Too many
competing
priorities
Lack of proven business case
10
 Knowledge is power
 Command and
control
 Fear of rejection
 Fear of change
Not aligned with
our culture
11
 Flavor of the month
 Collaboration talk
combined with individual
tasks and goals
 Organizational ADD
Too many
competing priorities
12
Lack of a
proven
business
case
Clearly
identify the
business
problem
Understand
your culture
Recruit
friends
Understand
the comfort
zone

Which existing
business processes
would benefit from
social capabilities?
How will you
measure
success?
We collaborate in
the context of a
business activity,
process, or task.
We engage to solve
problems – to get
something done!

SalesPaycor Inc said it would have forecast $2
million more in 2015 revenue if it had hit its
2014 hiring goals for new sales reps in 2014.
The time spent bringing new reps up to
speed means the company doesn’t see the
full benefit of their productivity until 12 to
18 months into their tenure.

#2 Understand
your culture
“The greatest benefits will
be realized by
organizations that have
or can develop open, non-
hierarchical, knowledge
sharing cultures.”
McKinsey Global Initiative: “The social
economy: Unlocking value and productivity
through social technologies,” July 2012.
Minimize cost and risk of
reinventing the wheel in a
global organization
Build inventory of best
practices and expertise on
core topics
Leverage expertise across
the globe
Topic-focused
Communities of Practice
with SharePoint 2010
Moving to SharePoint
2013/Yammer

A relatively new production
plant manager in Egypt
had some questions about
the best ways to handle
green corn during a
delicate stage of the
process.
Late in his day, he posted a
query in the Production
Technologies community
because he wasn’t sure to
whom he should send an email
(and his boss was out of the
office).
21
Meanwhile, colleagues
from around the world saw
the post and offered
suggestions.
When the plant manager returned to
work the next morning, he found 10
responses.
Three responses were about two
proposed solutions to his problem. The
rest were commentary and shared
experiences from others.
Benefit: Solutions offset the risk of losing
$120,000 of pre-commercial seed value.
22
“Thanks for posting your
question. Now we have more
searchable data in the system
on green corn processing. I’d
love to see this happen more
often in the future.”
‱ Senior manager’s email made
it not only safe to ask
questions – but admirable.
‱ Community became one of
the busiest in the company.
‱ Other communities follow the
lead – taking a cue from what
worked and what was
recognized and valued.
Do you have a
hero culture?
What is
valued? “For our entire history, we had rewarded
the inventor or the person who came up
with the good idea. Boundaryless would
make heroes out of people who recognized
and developed a good idea, not just those
who came up with one. As a result, leaders
were encouraged to share the credit for
ideas with their teams rather than take full
credit themselves. It made a huge
difference in how we all related to one
another.”
24
Social helps you scale
‱ True conviction among top leaders
‱ Encouraging “both sides” of helping
events
‱ Reinforce norms with formal
processes and roles (e.g. design
reviews)
‱ Leave slack in employee’s schedules
#3 Recruit friends
26
Leaders
model the
behavior
“No involvement by
leaders,
no commitment by
employees.
No exceptions.”
Vala Afshar, Chief Marketing and Customer Officer at
Enterasys

#4 Understand
the comfort
zone for your
users
33
If you want to remove a
big barrier to getting
people to engage with
social tools, find a way to
keep your users in their
COMFORT ZONE,
even if it’s only just to get
started.
Engage congregations in
communities of practice
focused on expanding the
reach of the Union
Build inventory of practices
and expertise on core topics
Help congregations function
better as sacred communities
by providing opportunities to
collaborate with others
The Tent: Extranet
Community Sites based on
Office 365
Connect different groups by
role (Temple Administrators),
by topic (Fundraising), or by
attribute (small congregations)

37
‱ What makes a good post?
What business scenarios
should you post about?
‱ Provide simple guidance
about what is OK and
what is not OK
‱ Provide “what goes
where” examples
#5 Show me!
Share a link. “Here is a link to the latest Forrester Wave report on
social networking.”
Ask a question. “Has anyone encountered this problem before, and
if so, how was it solved?”
Find a resource. “Looking for a specialist in retirement benefits to
help win a bid in Calgary.”
Answer a post. “Here are links to three relevant quals in the quals
database.”
Recognize a colleague. “Thanks to @dpalmer for hosting an
excellent planning session today.”
Inform about your activities. “Will be in the Philadelphia office today;
does anyone wish to meet?”
Suggest an idea. “Local office TV screens should display the global
Yammer conversation stream.”
39
Social moves
quickly 
 have
governance
guidelines in
place before
situations arise

Breaking Down Barriers (to enterprise social) in the Land of Dinosaurs
Don’t underestimate
the importance
of training
Too many
competing
priorities
Lack of proven business case
Not aligned with
our culture
Breaking down the barriers
43
It’s not a sprint, it’s a journey 

You don’t
need 100%
adoption to
be
successful –
you need
meaningful
outcomes
Align where
work gets
done – and
you’ll get
those
outcomes
Lead the
way – with
champions,
community
managers,
mentoring,
and training
Be patient –
change
takes time
but it also
takes
passion and
sustained
effort

Breaking Down Barriers (to enterprise social) in the Land of Dinosaurs

Editor's Notes

  • #6: According to Gallup, organizations in the top quartile for engagement have: Source: http://www.gallup.com/consulting/121535/employee-engagement-overview-brochure.aspx BUT, to get business value from enterprise social, people have to USE the technology.
