4. Why Should We Change?
The Social Work Transformation

5. First- What Are We Talking About?
Social Networks in general allow individuals to connect with
information and with other people who share their interests.
These connections occur in an online environment, where
the exchange is often written down and preserved for others
to later discover. Through Social Networks, we are creating a
vast archive of ideas, connections, and conversations.
Enterprise Social Networks yield these same benefits. Within
a closed, private network, employees can create for each
other a vast archive of business ideas, connections and
conversations. Having greater access to information about
their role, their project, and their organization allows
employees to work more efficiently and to innovate more
quickly.

6. Being social is human nature—people have always discovered ways to
connect with each other, share knowledge, make collective decisions,
and collaborate to do big things.

7. Traditional Systems = Silos = Disconnection

8. Break Those Silos Down
Primarily relying on standalone software
applications and on traditional
communications platforms prevents
information sharing across the
organization.
Traditional systems do not allow you to
tap into tribal knowledge nor to easily
locate expertise across the organization.
By adding a social layer across
standalone software applications, and
by encouraging group communication
primarily through an enterprise social
network, organizations can begin to
breakdown silos.

9. Social capabilities must be a natural part of how we work, seamlessly
woven into the tools you use every day to get your work done. Social
has to be easy, frictionless, and in context.

10. Millennials will make
up 75%
of the American
workforce by 2025
Inside your business employees
want to harness information,
connect, engage, and work
together in new ways
72%of
companies are
deploying at least one
social software tool
Outside your business
empowered customers have
more information and want to
connect in new ways
Always on—
Consumers use
an average of 4
devices every day
20% of online
consumers expect a
response within one hour
via social media
Business & Consumer
Consumers are the Drivers of Transformation
Employees need to extend and
connect networks across the
firewall to partners and
customers
Companies with >1000 employees
average more data than the US
Library of Congress
>235terabytes
> 1.5B
people around the globe have
a social networking account

11. Enterprise Social Networks Connect
ESNs allow you to connect with
anyone in the organization, no
matter what department they are in
or what business application they
use.
ESNs enable you to search
conversations that have already
occurred, and to access others’
expertise and tribal knowledge.
