10. “There isn’t anything I send to employees
that I wouldn’t be prepared to have published
on the front page of the newspaper. I don’t
think control actually exists. The question is, did
it ever exist? Probably to some degree, but
social media, the explosion of technology, has
just amplified the folly of the notion of internal
versus external voice. I don’t think there’s such
a thing anymore.”

27. …some companies use Web 2.0 in revolutionary ways. This elite group
of organizations—3 percent of those in our survey—derives very high
levels of benefits from Web 2.0’s widespread use, involving employees,
customers, and business partners, according to the survey.
Respondents at these organizations reported higher levels of employee
benefits than internally networked organizations did and higher levels of
customer and partner benefits than did externally networked
organizations. In applying Web 2.0 technologies, fully networked
enterprises seem to have moved much further along the learning curve
than other organizations have. The integration of Web 2.0 into day-to-
day activities is high, executives say, and they report that these
technologies are promoting higher levels of collaboration by helping to
break down organizational barriers that impede information flows.
30. ROI from Web 2.0
52% of organizations using Web 2.0 achieved Best-in-
Class performance compared to only 5% that didn’t
Companies using Web 2.0 tools achieved 18%
increase in engagement vs. 1% among those that
didn’t

season & transferred the entire training program to a wiki.
Price encouraged new employees to take notes during the
sessions and then add notes, comments &
recommendations to the wiki.

per call at $20 per min. (net result = millions of dollars).

34. Executives determine success
“An important lesson learned at Cisco is that social media has
to make its way into an organisation top down. All too often it
makes its way in via the bottom layer – young people who
know about social media try to make colleagues enthusiastic
and launch small projects. This is a positive thing, but it is
important that social media are integrated on a strategic level.
This entails the need for budget, time and people”
LaSandra Brill, social media manager, Cisco
