Improved productivity
• Get more done by knowing “where” to look
• Fast access to the right information
• “Saves face” if I don’t have to ask someone
New employees get up-to-speed faster
• No more “who do I ask”
• “Where do I look first” and only then “Who do I ask”
Reduce dependency on individuals
• No more “Ask Bob, he’s been here for years”.
• Capture knowledge, share knowledge
Staff list & detailed profiles/photos
• Who’s who in the other office?
• Connecting our experts together
Improved working relationships
• The more I know about you
• The better we are likely to work together
• “Online” social networks build real world relationships
Structured place to ask questions
• Build up a knowledgebase
• Avoid repetition
Reduction in email
• Email is where information & knowledge go to die!
• Reduce emails to [email protected]

• Staff can comment/interact with news
Social interaction
• Peer recognition
• Likes, Comments, Follows
• Microblogging
One stop shop for information
