6. QUICK QUIZ:
Would you say that it is
easier to find knowledge:
A) On the web, or
B) Within your
Organisation?
7. The Collaborative Enterprise
Recent study shows 71 percent
agree that it’s easier to locate
“knowledge” on the Web than it is
to find it on internal systems.

8. Social Learning helps to make sense of the “knowledge run
wild experience” through crowd sourcing informal assets
9. Why?
The Collaborative Enterprise
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter
10. Why?
The Collaborative Enterprise
Too many places to look
And the information is often out of date
So people give up
And go forward with the wrong info
Or begin to reinvent the wheel
Or try to ask others, but…
They don’t know who to ask
And when they do...
Experts are too busy or don’t want to share
And when they do share…
Information gets exchanged & lost in emails
And then the process begins all over again
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter
12. The Collaborative Social Software
With Enterprise Enterprise
Silos are eliminated – everyone has a unified view of all of
their content across Groups
Anyone can contribute new content
Network connections act to both surface and filter info
And the community governs the content,
identifying content that is out of policy or out of date
Intranet repositories stay current
Experts are easy to find
Relevant information is automatically surfaced in context
Quality information is preserved
rather than forever lost in email
Transparency prevails
Teams and experts collaborate effectively
and get the social recognition they deserve
13. The Collaborative Enterprise
POWERED by
“Web 2.0” Capabilities
& Philosophies,
Public Social Networks
are
Empowering
People

17. ROI of Talent Acquisition (or lack thereof)
20th Century 21st Century
Ask HR, “Are you going to be able to attract and retain
the best talent without these tools?”
18. And that applies to Learning as well…
Next Generation workers are those folks in the 22 to 30
generation.
They want to learn and work differently.
- The Learning Consortium
“Top 10 for 2007”
19. So might as well align your Learning Investments
with what we have always known…
“Social Media turns learning moments into
an ongoing conversation where people
can learn nonstop”
- Garry Ridge, CRO, WD-40 Company
20. Enterprise Social Software = Social Learning
“The accelerating rate of change in business forces
everyone in every organization to make a choice: learning
while you work or become obsolete.” - Jay Cross
“Social learning needs to be underpinned by social and
collaboration tools – which are under the control of the
individual themselves” - Jane Hart
25. ROI of Tapping into hidden Knowledge
“ If only HP knew what HP knows,
we would be three times as
profitable.
~ Lew Platt, Former CEO of HP
”
Ben Willis: @BenWillisSF on Twitter -
26. And the REAL ROI? = Risk of Ignoring
“
“The imperative for business leaders is
clear: falling behind in creating internal
and external networks could be a critical
mistake.
”
Executives need to push their
Organisations toward becoming fully
networked enterprises.
~ McKinsey Quarterly “The rise of the networked enterprise”, December 2010
27. Brad Anderson, CEO, Best Buy…
“Getting other points of view and other
pieces of knowledge into our learning
system that might otherwise have escaped
is key to our success as an organization.”

28. “Social Networking is a waste of time, we block
those sites”
Your employees have mobile phones in
their pockets, so if you're blocking Twitter
at work, that's probably what they're
Tweeting about... @BenWillisSF
Consider the weekly status report
and our days full of meetings…
29. “We‟re on top of it… we already have a Facebook
Group”
And a LinkedIn Group.
And a Twitter handle.
And… And… And…
This *may* mean that you
have a Social Media
strategy, but this not a
Enterprise Social Software
strategy…
30. KEY: NOT all “Social Networking” is the Same
PUBLIC SECURE/PRIVATE
Social Media Enterprise Social Networks
31. “What if someone shares something confidential?”
• If you are not providing a private
forum you manage, you should be
concerned about governance
• The truth (and irony) is that it can’t
be governed UNLESS you “do”
social internally.
• Favorite example: The best way to
implement new “2.0” tools?
32. The 100% guaranteed
easiest way to do Enterprise 2.0?
DO NOTHING
And then your bright, thoughtful and energetic staff will do it for you. Trouble is
they will do it outside your firewall on bulletin boards, instant message
exchanges personal blogs and probably on islands in Second Life and you will
have lost the ability to understand it, influence it, and integrate it into how you
do business.
The second easiest way is to find ways of allowing this to happen inside the
firewall which can be as simple as sticking in some low cost or free tools and
then making sure your existing organisation can:
GET OUT OF THE WAY
The third easiest way is to do the second easiest way and then engage those
who would have done the easiest way and get them to help you:
KEEP THE ENERGY LEVELS UP
And the hardest way ....... ....you don't need me to tell you that!
33. “But, anyone could post just anything! What if
someone posts something they shouldn‟t?”
We’ve heard this song before.
Last time it was…?
Right, E-MAIL
• As with Email, in Private Social Environments, everything you do has
your name on it.
• These environments are not anonymous and users behave
accordingly.
• Further, in Social Environments, reputation is everything, so it is
carefully guarded and promoted.
34. “But if anyone can contribute anything, how do we
ensure quality?”
• Lessons from Wikipedia
Make it easy! Eliminate & beware of barriers to contribution!
– Don’t get in the way of people sharing and learning from peers (reminder: next
slide)
– Don’t repeat mistakes of 1990 Knowledge Management
Governance 2.0 = “frictionless contribution” + “personal &
collective governance” yields much better results
39. Don‟t Worry! Not everyone has to „participate‟ as
you expect for it to be a big success!
Jakob Nielsen explores a phenomenon which affects most online, multi-user
communities in his study “Participation Inequality: Encouraging More Users to
Contribute”, which found that…
User participation generally follows a 90-9-1 Rule:
• 90% of users are "lurkers" (i.e. they read or browse but don't contribute)
• 09% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their
time
• 01% of users participate very often and account for most of the contributions

The New Social Learning
Sources: - BCG Innovation 2010- IDG Social ROI- Aberdeen Research
Getting the right knowledge to the right people at the right time has never been more challenging. Job responsibilities are highly matrixed. Workers of different ages possess hugely different learning preferences. Employees increasingly switch job roles and companies at the drop of a hat. And there is simply much more to be learned today, but less time to learn it.Saba Learning Suite provides a seamless, unified learning environment to overcome these and other corporate learning challenges by unifying formal and social learning capabilities on a single, industry-leading LMS platform.Mobile (online and offline) is ideal for:SalesTraveling rolesNon-PC EmployeesField Service EmployeesExecutivesHigh volume adoptersEngagement with learning measurably increasesEmployee expectationPeople, places, organizations and things are linked.The feed is the keySnippetsField ServicesOperational accuracyChecklistsOJTAsk questions in contextRuggedized handhelds have been used by Oil & Gas, Utilities, Environmental, and Logistics organizations for a decade.

Better answers, less time searching, faster access to expertise.
Unlike constant meetings? And email threads that go on for pages? And… Are people getting their jobs done? Micro-sharing gets the message out in 140 characters , to a much wider audience, in real time.
