So much to do and plan! In this session we'll break it down. SharePoint 2013, Yammer and Office 365 product families bring new capabilities for content sharing, finding, organizing, and authoring. They also create new challenges. The move to the cloud and the integration of SharePoint with the enterprise social network with yammer, and have made this release so profound and disruptive to the business. In this session we'll dig into planning and strategy for social architectures around both business process and the technologies to help ensure compliance and success. Social enterprise technology is transformative and will lead to more agile business when used correctly, but a disaster and chaos when not used properly.

10. What does it mean to have an
“Engaged” Company?
• Engaged – Drive Innovation. Passion and
Profound Connection with their company.
• Not Engaged – Checked out. No passion or
energy for their company.
• Actively Disengaged – Undermine the
engaged workers. Not only Unhappy but
actively undermining the work of the engaged
workers. Out to damage the work!
12. Why Get Employees Engaged?
Engaged employees are 37% more likely to
stay with their employer.
- Constellation Research
Engaged employees deliver a 5X higher
shareholder return

19. “The key to Social Enterprise
success… People don’t need a new
siloed channel. They already have
many. ESN is [designed] to help them
collaborate, share, communicate
better to get their work done.”
-Sanjay Abraham, Cap Gemini

27. • Deloitte predicted that by the
end of 2013 90% of Fortune 500
companies will have partially or
fully deployed an Enterprise
Social Network
2011 ESN deployment was at 30%
31. What is Success?
“By its own nature, ESNs tend to be
adopted virally, spreading from
department or a local office. It may
become a fad and die, or contagiously
expands to nearby departments.”
Global Adoption across the organization is
the ultimate goal.” – Francesco Bivoli
34. Provide and Pray…
• Although social technologies are employed by
70 percent of organizations…
Gartner said most social collaboration initiatives
fail because they follow a worst practice
approach of "provide and pray", leading to a 10
percent success rate.
35. Why Social Collaboration Fails
Social collaboration initiatives that have a clear
and compelling purpose from the outset tend to
succeed. While this may seem obvious, the vast
majority of organizations treat collaboration as
a platform decision, rather than a solution to a
specific business problem or a route to a desired
outcome.

Fail Due to Lack of Purpose”

37. Understanding Adoption
Innovators - These employees are probably already experimenting with
Enterprise Social in your organization.
Early Adopters - The employees that only need a little nudge before they
start using Social collaboration. A conversation with passionate Innovator is
normally enough to get them quickly on board.
Early Majority. The staff members that need a little more convincing. Their
adoption time is significantly longer than the innovators and early adopters.
You need to share the early successes of the Network to get them truly on
board. This group typically requires some basic Enterprise Social training
(including best practices).
Late Majority (Skeptics or Bystanders) - High degree of skepticism. They
will only join the network over a considerable amount of time; typically after
about half of the workforce have adopted the new technology.
Laggards (Naysayers). These individuals are the last – if ever – to adopt
the new platform, and typically have a very strong aversion to this change.
38. • Sharing of Best Practices
• Reducing Email proliferation (it
won’t eliminate it)
• Faster Decision Making
• Reduce meetings
• Increase sharing
• Knowledge capture
• Increase employee retention
• Improve business processes
• Evolve company culture
• Reduce duplication of work
• Strategic transformation
• Improve employee collaboration
(cross group)
• Executives Involvement
• Open Transparent working

Social, Mobile investment Strategy…
Our vision was inspired by looking at the world around us. Social has completely rewired the way we connect
We’re able to accomplish more, FASTER, because technology makes it easier than ever to connect with others, build relationships, and share information.
In other words, technology makes it easier than ever to leverage the human network.
Let’s use a real-life example. #sprunner
Countless other examples of ways Social has changed our lives in ways big and small – from spotting the next job oppty on LinkedIn, to reconnecting w/ old friends on FB, to finding out the latest in world news and entertainment on Twitter (btw, did you know that Ellen Degeneres’ selfie at the Oscars last night was retweeted 1M times in less than an hour? That’s the power of Social right there)
Yammer has been a leader in bringing social networking to the enterprise. That’s why we acquired them 18 months ago. We believe that getting started with Yammer is the most important step toward working like a network.
And many companies agree with us. They are already using Yammer to transform the way they work in the following ways:
Rich Social interactions > knowledge travels faster enabling better decisions
Organizing themselves into Yammer groups based on the task at hand. Define groups, give MSFT examples.
Discovering information and gaining greater visibility via the enterprise graph. Define EG based on Facebook.
These experiences make the Yammer platform very engaging, and more importantly, very sticky. The strong network effect Yammer has.
ES approach extends this network effect to users of Office 365, Dynamics, and pretty any other tool that matters to your company.
While Yammer is our “hero” Social experience, we are weaving Social into all the tools your employees use by enhancing the Inline Social Experiences in O365…
Why? B/c we believe a big part of Social takes place in the context of what we’re already doing.
In our personal lives, we’re posting photos from our camera phones….True for ES too
Starting this spring, we’re adding Yammer conversations to documents, images, and even videos
We’re making it easy to post updates, documents, and emails from OWA and SPO to Yammer; and
We are enhancing the integrated social capabilities in the LOB apps.
And of course we’ll continue our mobile app investments across platforms..
Now let’s bring Christophe back to show what Inline Social looks like.
We’re extending one of Yammer’s most powerful user experiences, groups, to the rest of Office 365.
The new Office 365 Groups is a cross-suite concept that unifies people, conversations, and content
Like groups in Yammer, Office 365 Groups can be set up around anything to enable open conversations and collaboration.
But they also go a step further by bringing in email, team sites…
Because Groups span the Office 365 suite, members can work with each other in their preferred experience knowing that they are addressing the same people
This is huge for collaboration. Epic Yammer thread. Here at Microsoft, we are the first to recognize that many people still love the email experience, and we want these people still to be able to participate from where they are comfortable.
Groups will serve as a bridge between Yammer and email, and it will also make problems like team members working in outdated files..
So how do you get a Group going? It’s easy. Creating a Group anywhere...
All of them will be able to access the same conversations and content, regardless of where they work. And changes made in one application…
Just like in Yammer, Groups are open by default to enhance discoverability and sharing
When we acquired Yammer, one of the things we loved about the technology was how it literally mapped
Today, in what we believe is a game-changing move, we’re extending Yammer’s concept of the Enterprise Graph across Office 365
Think of the Office Graph as a big algorithmic engine
It’s learning what you’re doing – to make recommendations on what you should know.
Just as your personal social networks connect you to people and information…
By suggesting information that’s relevant to YOU, Office Graph helps solve for info overload AND it helps you discover better info so you can connect the dots
Imagine the possibilities this opens up. Take an example like searching for an file from another team that I know contains something I need to know for the work I‘m doing, as I often find myself doing in my cross-functional projects. Most of the time, I find myself struggling to remember the file name or who sent it to me or where I would have stored it. Instead of going through that painful process, I can now use OG to search for files that I’ve viewed, that were presented to me, or are trending around me…The personal and social context is a much more natural way for me to remember things than file names.
Or, let’s say you find yourself invited to a meeting where you’re *not* quite sure what the objective is and what you should be contributing. With OG, you can discover what others at the meeting are working on, documents they are following, conversations they are participating in, etc ahead of time so you can walk into the meeting prepared. You know what’s happening and what’s on their minds, so you can deliver a much more meaningful impact.
Oslo (a codename for a brand new app) is the first application to put the Office Graph to work to deliver these types of insights to you. By leveraging machine learning and signals captured in Office Graph, Oslo provides a natural way for users to search and discover relevant content based on the relationships you have with other people and objects in your network.
That richness, those nuggets, those gems – you will have it everywhere. Hero in browser. Search in your productivity apps. Mobile angle.
