A successful HCL Connections platform requires engaged users. How can Guides support this in a medium-sized company with highly-qualified and motivated employees and lean structures? When you have multiple divisions, product groups and locations spanning three continents and multiple languages and cultures, it's a challenge. HCL Connections was introduced into the Heitkamp & Thumann Group to support and improve collaboration. Guides (local super-users) are the main success factor that makes this possible and continuously improves it. Meet with the program managers and learn how they maintain, nurture, train and encourage this group of guides and what the challenges and successes are. Hear what lessons they have learned and what their vision is. Hopefully this will inspire you and maybe you can even become a part of it!

Escape the Feature Factory with Outcome-Oriented Roadmaps

We have heard about “the global economy” and the impact on a global scale of decisions made centrally and “globalization” using global methods locally. Both of these terms use the word “global” in the sense of taking something from a central location or headquarters facility and rolling it out globally. But what about taking local best practices and leveraging them to customers and clients globally? In this workshop, we will look at how best practices can emerge locally but are often ignored in a global perspective due to their local origin. Many of these best practices are developed “below the radar” and work very well for a local market; however small changes or adaptations could make them of global significance. We will examine cases of local best practices and they were promoted to improve business performance globally. We will also look at things that can go wrong if this is not done correctly and finally, we will highlight ways that a company can discover and apply these practices.

Going cloud, migration, GDPR, compliance…. All topics which touch on the same question: How do you do community management for HCL Connections? From getting insight into what’s there, to how it’s being managed as well as to how to take measures to get things to change. What does Connections offer you for this and what other options are out there? This interactive session goes into what things customers are working on to tackle these topics. We will discuss existing use cases at various customers, what the options are and what your organization is doing about it.

Session delivered at IBM Connect 2017 on Feb 21st 2017 by Femke Goedhart & Franz Walder - panagenda Abstract: Social adoption is a challenge for many companies. What is the most effective utilization of the environment? Who is using which resources, what in the environment is dormant or orphaned? Where should efforts focus in order to improve adoption? All of these questions can be difficult to answer and there is no "one size fits all" solution as each organization has their own unique needs. Join Femke Goedhart and Franz Walder and learn how to tackle this topic using IBM Connections and Watson. Starting out with IBM Bluemix Data Connect to collect and combine data from relevant sources, they use the cognitive power of IBM Watson Analytics to answer those tricky questions and provide solutions to real-world adoption challenges.

Presentation as given on June 7th in Toronto by Francie Tanner & Femke Goedhart: Technology and innovation impacts every industry, line of business and profession in ways we could not imagine even 50 years ago. While IT is meant to make things more efficient, the pace of IT evolution makes it hard to think of the future as being “easier”. History shows that companies which are unable to innovate are driven out of the market, which leaves adoption as a central key to dealing with that new social platform, CRM and other innovation. But how do you get people to embrace change? Some people claim that adoption is a purely human affair where it’s all about people, while others believe that adoption should be technology driven and enforced in an automated way. Join Femke Goedhart and Francie Tanner and learn all about adoption tools, methods and strategies that will help you make any new deployment a measurable success.

Short session (15 min) as given on November 5th 2015 for Social Connections 9 in Stuttgart, Germany Abstract: "IBM Connections has several options to store and share files which often confuses users and administrators alike. Knowing the differences between community files & folders, personal files & folders and CCM libraries and being able to explain them can make your life a lot easier. But is this something that can be explained in 15min?!? Probably not but in this session Femke will nonetheless take a stab at it and give you an overview of the most important differences and functionalities in handling files & folders within IBM Connections and give you some handles on how to answer those pesky questions your users might have."

Session slides for my session delivered at SNOUG in Zurich on October 28 2015. Abstract: Documents are still a backbone of our organisations. Sure, the ERP is often leading but look at how the majority of information is stored and you will find it is in the form of files & documents. Getting people to collaborate on information is crucial for the success and combined knowledge of any organisation and many are investing in platforms like IBM Connections to get this done. But still, getting people to relinquish their personal file drives, can be daunting. So how do you get people to use the tools and options IBM Connections offers to collaborate on files & documents, what are the problems you can run in and how do you keep control over what's going on? In this session Femke will take you through the basics of Social document management, showing you how to use the different possibilities in IBM Connections to leverage social document/file management and take you through the questions and decisions any organisation using a social networking tool like IBM Connections should ask themselves about managing documents. Because there is no one-size-fits-all solution and being able to explain the importance and difference between things like folders and tags, when to use CCM or community files and how to safely share files with people outside of your company can make all the difference!

As delivered on Sept 21st in London at ICONUK session abstract: The good old 'document' might not be sexy anymore, it is still often the work horse of the organization. Containing most of our business information and knowledge and often being the preferred way of distribution by users, customers and partners alike. Traditionally we used formal document management tools and the 'good old' file share for storing documents but with collaboration tools like teamrooms, discussion databases and Quickr, the rise of Enterprise social Networking tools like IBM Connections and the ease with which users can get external tools like OneDrive, Dropbox and many others, a lot of that has become muddled. I will take you through some of the scenario's of modern document management, talk about the struggles of migration and give you tools and insights that can help you device a strategy to keep both your users as well as auditors happy.

There are many theories and ideas around "how to become a social business" but what really does or doesn't work? We wanted to know, and instead of just going blindly with the theory, we did the opposite and interviewed 32 companies in various stages of their journey to becoming a social business. Not just asking them about the big wins, but also talking about the struggles and small successes that really made the difference for them. Taking these experiences and real life examples of companies the likes of Dutch Railways, DAF, Saxion, Forbo Eurocol and Bavaria, and aligning them to the various theoretically relevant concepts, we were able to come up with some interesting concepts. In this session, we will take you through these concepts and theories and, using the examples provided by the companies, show you how these can help you identify the successes and avoid the pitfalls in becoming a social business. This session was presented by Femke Goedhart & Sasja Beerendonk at IBM ConnectED in Orlando, FL on Tuesday Jan 27th 2015

SharePoint is the complete solution for collaboration, document management and sharing knowledge across our organisation, and even beyond. It will drive our business!" For the last ten years it was this that message IT-departments used to get budget-approval to implement the platform we all know and love (and yes, sometimes hate). The reality is though that lots of companies struggle to get beyond using it as an intranet or document file storage. What happened to our promise to cover not just the 'sharing' and 'storage' part but really enhance our business processes with specific functionality tailored to the collaborative working? Like HR who needs functionality to support annual reviews, quality control who wants to monitor key performance indicators or the support departments who want to gauge customer satisfaction? "No problem!", most IT departments standard Pavlov reaction to these request was: "we'll build it ...!" But that takes lots of time, money and can cause massive delays which often also begs the question: isn't there another way? Aren't we inventing the wheel when others surely have already done so? In this session Femke Goedhart and André Krijnen will discuss the intricacies and challenges of deciding when to make a standard solution fit (non-standard) business requirements and when to build your own. Taking you from how to handle the familiar "but that won't fit OUR organization!" arguments to figuring out the pragmatic factors that are really important in taking such a decision. To show you how, we will take several real-life customer scenarios through a decision matrix based on the 80/20 principle of Vilfredo Pareto that can help you determine whether to go 'Build' or 'Buy and Extend'. It will give you handles and tips on how to guide a decision process that is often difficult and can touch nerves but that, in the long run, can help you really fulfill that initial goal: creating a true collaboration platform.

Session slides as delivered on March 18th 2014 at Engage in Breda, The Netherlands by Sophie Lavignac-Le Madec & Femke Goedhart Abstract: The basis of any good project is good requirements. Knowing what it is you are going to build / get determines whether your project will be a success or a flat out failure. In reality though the requirements phase is often trivialized or even forgotten. This session will give you tips & tricks as well as explain to you the basic techniques on how to effectively get to the core of the requirements, identify ways of prioritizing them and explain some core concepts of Functional and Technical design elements. Coming from a requirement gathering as well as development & customer point of view Femke & Sophie will take you through some of the real life examples they have come across and a lot of do's & don'ts they have seen (and despaired over)

Session slides as delivered on March 18th 2014 at Engage in Breda, The Netherlands by Stuart McIntyre & Femke Goedhart Abstract: So you have connections (or you are thinking about it) and you want to know what it can do for you in the sense of *socialy* managing files but you don't really know how that concept works or if it would work for your organization. Tags or folders, share or private, community files or personal files, meta-data and document types? What does it mean and where do you start? Stuart McIntyre and Femke Goedhart will take you through the ups and downs of social file management. When to use it, when not and what you need to know about file and document management to have the discussion if this should replace the department file share. Coming from two different backgrounds - and often butting heads about this topic - Stuart & Femke will pitch the points and concepts that you need to think about with managing your documents in a social environment and show you examples on how and where to use IBM Connections to do so.

Social sharing vs. organised structure. Must you select only one?
