8. When most users are asked what they
want their collaboration environment
to look like, their answer?

11. “It’s about what you aspire
to do, what you want to do
down the line,”
says Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann.
“There’s intent around a pin,” says Joanne
Bradford, Pinterest’s head of partnerships.
“It says, ‘I’m organizing this into a place in
my life,’ like when people tear out a page
of a magazine.”
Forbes, Nov 2014 http://onforb.es/1xRW7wS

12. Collaboration has become a
regular part of our lives
We demand an integrated
experience, at home and work
The tools we use must be
relevant to our activities

13. People want flexibility in the
tools and devices they use We want shared experiences,
but personalized, as well

14. When trying to understand what an
organization actually needs, the answer
is never straight-forward

15. Small-team collaboration
can be fast and effective

16. While large-team
collaboration can be
sluggish and siloed

17. Your network is a set of clusters

22. Adoption is everything.

23. You need

Adoption

33. Vodafone
• 75,000 employees have
registered for Vodafone’s
“Circle” platform

employees use “Circle”

35. It begins by understanding how
your teams work together today

37. • To simplify the user interface
• To better align end user activities with the needs
of the business
• To streamline business processes
• To get more out of your IT investments
Why focus on Productivity?

38. Productivity is
User Adoption Realized

39. Microsoft is adding features,
but relying on OOTB without a
strategy can be an uphill battle.

41. How do I move forward with my team?

42. Three components to your strategy:
People Process Technology

43. • Without understanding the business impact
• Without understanding the cultural impacts
• Without proper executive support
• Without business process alignment
• Without building advocacy, and supporting the employees who
try to make it all fit together
The problem is that we approach collaboration
from the technology standpoint

44. “Social Enterprise is
implemented 80% through
organization culture and
20% through technology.”
- Gartner, September 2012
