down or social (bottom up). It is rather about
transforming the workplace fundamentally so that
even while the formal top-down strategic goals
are being achieved, companies can use enterprise
social networking infused throughout the process
to get better grassroots
motivation, engagement, and continuous

similar efforts to combine Web conferencing and

solution that can run across both private and
”
public cloud configurations.
