• People learn only 30% of their jobs through formal channels.
• Organizational knowledge rarely travels along traditional org-chart lines.
• Collaboration and productivity depend on more than good technology.
• Few organizations take full advantage of social media.
• Business environments increasingly span both geography and generations.

[v]businessOrganizations can successfully capture tribal wisdom with connections driven by technology.
If 70% of what people need to do their jobs happens through informal networks, doesn’t it make sense to leverage the power of social network technology?
Organizations must use collaboration technology to their advantage.
