The document discusses how EMC established an internal social network to engage employees and build their employment brand. This network allowed employees to connect over strategy, culture and work, and organic brand ambassadors emerged to engage externally. Having engaged employees leads to benefits like increased productivity, market value, profits and customer loyalty.

The practice of management was born around 1850 – when companies suddenly had 300 or more employees. They had to figure out how to manage productivity at that scale. The only model to replicate at that time, was the command & control model used by the army. … a model that directed legions of uneducated workers.
Today, we’re in the knowledge era, a time when our people and their ideas are our route to productivity and business value. To enable the best results in this dynamic of an educated and diligent workforce, companies must unlock passion, creativity and initiative of their people. Results come from new innovations and ideas, and connections to engage hearts & minds in action. Companies are re-wiring behavior models and tools today to enable global agility, and innovation. They’re increasingly looking to “Collaboration and Connection” business models. -- Gary Hamel is an author and speaker and currently considered the top authority according to WSJ and FORTUNE on business strategy and management models.
