All! Sorry I didn’t post this on Monday as usual but I took a quick vacation day while in Orlando!
I do think it is important to focus on the barriers of success — things like Security, Adoption and Cultural Fit are areas that all businesses need to be aware of and plan through their business.
Your thoughts?
As you know, I have been a huge gamification driver for a few years — starting the first demand generation and educational game in IBM WebSphere with Phaedra Boinodiris on the game Innov8!
Now the market is demanding gaming — the average age of a gamer is 35, and the recall of playing a game is 80% higher than any other communication methodology! We appreciate Rajat Paharia and the great work here to bring more Gaming to the IBM Connections Social Platform!
Check out the “Level UP” concept of gaming from BunchBall built on top of IBM Connections!
At IBM Connect 2012, the Social Business Conference, BunchBall uses a great concept of Level Up — you see below Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 — providing fun in learning about IBM Connections, and a competitive spirit to get to the next level!
Here you see some of the metrics you can leverage while your teams are playing games!
Welcome to Lotusphere and IBM Connect 2012! Today I wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page with a ‘quick” Simple Social view!
At our Social Businesss conferences in Orlando, we introduced three core offerings to add value to our clients in 2012!
1. Community Management Training on how to become an effective community manager, the fastest growing job in social business. This job type is one of many new jobs that Social has introduced into the marketplace. Today, very few certification or education exists in this area where the demand is outpacing the supply.
2. Adoption Advocacy which includes help for companies on their adoption of social inside and outside their four walls. This includes governance, metrics, engagement plans, and communications and education on social tools.
3. Social Business Agenda Workshops. These workshops address the top questions that companies have today: How do I become a social business. The workshop’s output includes: a cultural assessment, an adoption plan, engagement strategy and analytics heat maps.
IBM is also announcing a partnership with The Dachis Group, the world’s leader in powering the design, development, management, and measurement of Social Business performance, to help organizations quickly drive adoption success through a social business adoption quickstart workshop. The workshop combines IBM services for the implementation of Social Business solutions for enterprises with additional services from The Dachis Group and focuses on the use of social business technology while fostering cultural skills and engagement.
As promised from today’s webcast, here is a sample of the Culture Checklist! Culture eats strategy for lunch! So make sure you review your culture for its fit with the new social world!
Ways to change culture:
- Have a third party walk through the below checklist
- Do a pilot to showcase value with a champion
- Share other companies references and business outcome
- ROI examples from McKinsey
Gang! Our Social Business coffee break series is back on for 2012 due to the overwhelming demand!
Love to know the topics you’d like me to cover!
