10. Planning & Launch
Pilot for 100 users
How do we foster “good” usage vs non-productive usage
How do we prevent bad words
– Power users able to remove any content
Should we let the network control themselves
Is BeeSocial work or play ?
Interactions should be moderated
10
11. Initial Findings
Not as easy
Rules did not help, but actually prevented adoption
Moderation was a major slow down
Restricted number of users made sharing difficult
Managers initial objections
Cultural change
11
12. Decision to expand – 6 months later …
Needed to remove the adoption barriers
– Removed moderations
• You are what you post
– Interactions, communication and sharing highly improved
– Tool became solid among the pilot group
Everybody was anxious to join and contribute
– Grow or fade away
– Expansion to all users was the natural and only way to go
– Others areas demanded access to the tool
– A corporate user is ready to collaborate and contribute in a Social Business environment
12
13. Expansion Campaign
Expansion begins
