Facebook ≠ enterprise social
An Avanade global study of enterprise social collaboration trends, analyzing the habits of 4,000 users and 1,000 IT and business decision-makers in 22 countries, found that
Facebook is twice as popular as SharePoint – 73% to 39% Facebook is also four times more popular that IBM Open connections
(17%) and six times more popular than Salesforce’s Chatter (12%)

Facebook ≠ enterprise social
Of course…
Although Facebook is used by 74% of organizations surveyed, organizations put SharePoint and Chatter (tied at 23%) at the top of their list of deployments for the coming year
When asked about priorities, Facebook fell to the end of the listInformationWeek article on Avanade study http://ubm.io/17WDTQs

Where is social going?
You’re probably asking:
“What does any of this have to do with the FaceBook vs. eBay metaphor?”
• Taxonomy applied• Folksonomy (tags)• Social dialog• Shared• Liked• Rated
• Taxonomy applied

They surface data They provide context They extend the search experience They are increasingly being viewed as the
way in which people communicate
Why are social tools important?
Problems with “eBay as Social” model
Look to the adoption lifecycle Initial excitement, its shiny and new Increased productivity Soon, experts develop, and novices wander away “Trolls” start appearing and mucking things up Introverted social activities dilute the message After that, “social silos” are created Lack of alignment with business processes
Where Social Works
Cultural change
Executive adoption

Let’s go back to the FaceBook/eBay metaphor
one more time
Split screen of facebook vs ebay
Means to an end – a specific activity, self-focused
Versus a community, a business focus
“Social media, community, and purpose are the indispensable
components that together produce mass collaboration.”
The Social Organization, Bradley and McDonald (Gartner)
The elusive “Business Value” problem
When your community has strong business alignment, a sense of purpose, people will contribute, driving business value
Some people talk about “driving innovation.” What they really mean is the “emergence of ideas” between people, across teams, between partnering organizations Clarifying thoughts
Sharpening messaging
Refining ideas
Delivering value
To move forward you need measurement
The Social Organization
Community = WhoSocial = WherePurpose = Why
The Social Organization, Bradley and McDonald (Gartner)
Ultimately, social is about your culture, not about the technology.
