Let your intranet be a social business collaboration platform

• Share

Evolving your intranet into social business collaboration platform where employees can identify competences and locate expertise and assets, engage and interact, and co-create and collaborate along work topics is no easy feat.

Some of the key elements for those who have successfully mastered the transformation includes:

• creating a working definition of social business collaboration
• making a business case for change
• planning for deployment and adoption
• deciding on community models and governance
• planning for education and measuring success

In addition, you also need enterprise 2.0 technologies, which may require a complete culture change compared to traditional IT projects for business units as well as corporate IT.

In a 3-hour workshop on May 3rd titled Social Business Collaboration: A Practical Framework for Adoption, Staffing, Governance and Education at the J. Boye conference in Philadelphia, Claire Flanagan from CSC together with Megan Murray from Moxie Software will provide practical advice and share their experiences with each step along the way.

Megan recently joined Moxie after more than a decade with Booz Allen Hamilton where she focused on emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies, col­lab­o­ra­tive strate­gies and Enterprise 2.0. Megan served as Community Manager and Project Coordinator for Booz Allen’s award win­ning Hello​.bah​.com. She brings exten­sive expe­ri­ence in col­lab­o­ra­tion strat­egy, com­mu­nity man­age­ment, and enter­prise social governance.

Claire is CSC’s Director of Enterprise Social Business Collaboration and Communities Strategy.
