So, what are your goals? Ask yourself:
Ø How do they support the your organization’s goals?
Ø How do they tie back to business processes and people?
• Hint: This will help to answer the dreaded ROI question
Ø Are they measurable?
Ø Are they realistic or are they promising the greatest thing since sliced bread?

Ø What challenges does the organization face that might be mitigated or alleviated with E 2.0 tools? • Information/organization silos?
• Lack of expertise knowledge or ability to locate?
• Redundancy of people/processes?
Ø What are some tangible use cases? Ø What’s all of this going to cost?
• Be honest with budgetary needs
• Consider a “pilot” or “beta” rollout to mitigate up front costs

Ø Is there anyone in the organization already using collaborative tools?
Ø Is there anyone who’s been asking for these kinds of tools?
Ø Know the people that support open collaboration - make them your friends.
Ø Know the people that do not support open collaboration - make them your friends.
Ø Equip people to be advocates to help build the use cases.
Ø Be open to feedback – don’t have everything already figured out.

Ø Do people know how? Ø Do they know what? Ø Do they know where? Ø Do they know why? Ø Do they know when? Ø Focus on the things they can do with
the tools! Ø Variety in training is also key: • Online & in-person training • Lunch-N-Learns • Podcasts • Written & Video tutorials • Train the trainer

“This stuff is not for businesses.” “Social collaboration is not work.”
“I don’t have time for this…” “You expect us to pay our employees to
socialize?”
“Great. One more tool to keep track of…” “This is going to take way too much time to
learn.” “I don’t have anything to contribute.”
“My boss doesn’t support things like this.”

information

Qualitative (more apparent, but doesn’t always carry as much weight)
Ø User engagement
Ø Community feedback/anecdotal stories
Ø Do they miss it when it’s not available?
Ø Is this a part of “everyday” business activities?
Ø Could we work (as well) without it?
Ø Employee satisfaction
Ø “Findability”
Ø Listening to and acting on feedback
Quantitative (harder to define, but often the first thing asked for)
Ø Progressive participation – Lurker -> Passive -> Active -> Influencer
Ø Activity and engagement levels
Ø Resonant content
Ø Employee satisfaction surveys
Ø Employee retention rates
Ø Time searching for information
Ø Reducing duplicate efforts/ projects
Ø Number of community members
Ø Cost efficiencies gained
Ø Customer retention rates
Ø Customer satisfaction surveys
