The Path to Co-Creating a Social Business: The Early Adoption Phase
The figures vary but in the last several years a major change has begun in organizations around the world. Sometimes the efforts are small and unsanctioned, sometimes they are big and bold, but increasingly businesses are employing social media strategically to engage deeply with both their workers and customers. We see this all the time in the large firms represented in our Social Business Council and elsewhere.
One of the biggest challenges these efforts face, whether they are internal or external, is that engagement via social media is generally perceived as a voluntary activity. As in, workers can collaborate and customers can choose to interact with a business through older channels that are often more familiar and better supported by the organization itself. Or they can engage through social channels. For people to choose the social path of engagement as the most suitable one, there need to be motivations and incentives that are aligned with that path. -

Leveraging Your Employees’ Social Networks
Job design and talent management are typically based on individual accountability, and tend to focus on individual competencies and experiences. However, new research reveals that an employee’s social networks are a critical component of employee effectiveness.

Building a Well-Networked Organization
Organizations could get even more from their investments in talent management if they focused on collaboration — a critical component of employees’ effectiveness. An IBM survey recently found that high-performing organizations (as measured by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) are 57% more likely than other companies to provide their global teams with collaborative and social networking tools McKinsey & Company, too, found that well-networked organizations delivered higher market share and profits than less-networked companies.

There’s a tendency to call “community manager” any person that communicates online for an enterprise…even it the activity has nothing to do with communities. This excessive use of a buzzword seems to start worrying applicants that want more precisions on the nature of the work and how it articulates with “real” operations. A search for sense and perennial positioning that also comes with the fear of seeing this title being a millstone around their neck, now and in the future

One of the familiar refrains in the halls of Enterprise 2.0 is that social software’s primary value is for knowledge workers or knowledge-intensive industries. This now gets repeated so often that most people don’t even question its truth.
Like so many orthodoxies, this one’s due for a re-think.
The whole notion of a knowledge worker or a knowledge industry is confused. It suggests that there’s a certain class of workers who problem-solve and innovate for a living, and another class of workers that don’t. But that’s just not the case. An assembly-line worker who thinks about how to reduce the failure rate of brake systems rolling off the assembly line is a knowledge worker, at least in my book. A consultant who reads bullet points from a deck that someone else has written is not exactly doing knowledge work. Knowledge is a characteristic of how the work gets done, not of the work itself

Banks stepping up presence on social networking sites
In India, with almost half of the country’s population below 30 years of age, banks are gradually stepping up their presence in the virtual world, connecting with current and potential customers through social networking Web sites, especially Facebook.
Banks are sharing information, among others, about their products and services; showcasing latest offers; giving tips on saving money and investing; how to use credit cards safely; and conducting contests on Facebook to engage their young ‘friends’ (customers as well as potential customers).
