FOCUS ON ENGAGEMENT

Are You Engaged?

• Engaged – Drive Innovation. Passion and Profound Connection with their company.

• Not Engaged – Checked out. 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!

Why Get Employees Engaged?

Engaged employees are 37% more likely to stay with their employer. - Constellation Research

Engaged employees deliver a 5X higher shareholder return - Kenexa

• Only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged at work, according to Gallup's new 142-country study on the State of the Global Workplace. In other words, about one in eight workers -- roughly 180 million employees in the countries studied -- are psychologically committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations – Gallup 2013

SOCIAL AS THE SOLUTION FOR ENGAGEMENT

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.

• Organizations see a 25% boost in productivity with social technologies…

Higherarchy is the bottleneck to speed…

Satisfaction levels are higher than both email and Instant messaging.

Why Enterprise Social Intranets?

• Deloitte predicted that by the end of 2013 90% of Fortune 500 companies will have partially or fully deployed an Enterprise Social Network, a 70% increase over 2011.

SOCIAL CHALLENGES

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.

The Social Intranet Field of Dreams

The challenge is those tasked with deploying enterprise social don’t know how to execute. So what they do is put the task with IT to setting up a social platform and then hope the “build it and they will come” will be good enough.

-Joel Oleson, Enterprise Social Evangelist

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.

UNDERSTANDING MICROSOFT’S BIG BET… YAMMER

2013 Gartner Magic Quadrant

Go Yammer!

Yammer is our big bet for enterprise social, and we're committed to making it the underlying social layer for all of our products. It will power the social experiences in SharePoint, Office 365, Dynamics, and more. -- Jared Spataro, Senior Director, Microsoft Office Division

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.
