It’s been a busy couple of weeks!And all over my company, people
have been working more closely, more
effectively and more socially than ever
before. By the end of the week, it was time
to relax and unwind together.
At our local spot around the corner, I
quickly found Betty, Charlie, Maria and
Carlos. They were all swapping stories. I
pulled up a chair.

Betty, the “IBM Connections newbie,” was
sharing with us how her sales team is virtually
unrecognizable from just a few weeks ago.
They’re efficient, quick and always one
step ahead of their competitors. They’ve
embraced social and use IBM Connections to
collaborate, build customer trust and create
business value.
Chapter 1 Why Social Business?

Chapter 2 Structuring a Brainstorm, the Social Business WayNot to be outdone, Charlie chimed in, “Well,
I’ve taken brainstorming to the next level.”
He proudly shared how his team discusses,
collaborates and shares ideas all in one
place. They’re finding their ideas are reaching
further and are retained longer. Because
of this, his team feels empowered to deliver
better work.

Maria patted Charlie on the back and added,
“If it weren’t for Charlie, I wouldn’t have known
about IBM Connections myself.” She shared
how IBM Connections helped her implement
a new employee mentorship program.
Maria is noticing that employees feel more
empowered and engaged. Coworkers are
discovering new skillsets and building lasting
relationships with mentors.
“And of course,” Maria added, “that led to me
meeting Carlos.”
