An employee can put an idea on the site and get funding for their idea anywhere in the company

Increased the number of employees signing up for 401(k) accounts by 30% The overall turnover rate at the company is 60% -- turnover of people using the site is just 8-12%



IBM’s BeehiveIBM’s Beehive

Like Facebook, Beehive users (appropriately called bees) can:

create a profile post pictures updates comments organize events tag others’ photos

Beehive enables IBMers to track friends and share social activities.



Employee social networkingEmployee social networking




“New Bees” accumulate points for activity including posts, comments, and photos

As you accumulate points IBMers grow: New bee Working bee Busy bee Super bee

“One of our goals is to create a ‘smaller’ company in spite of our size. Beehive has done more than anything than create a sense of community at IBM.”

- IBM’s Liam Cleaver




35,000 registered “bees” 280,000 social network connections 150,000 comments Shared over 43,000 photos Created over 15,000 "hive fives" Hosted over 2000 events



People taggingPeople tagging A form of social bookmarking that enables people to

organize their contacts into groups Contacts or people are labeled or “tagged” with

keywords Keywords or “tags” relate to a subject matter or

expertise E.g. A tag for a doctor might read:

Surgeon Doctor MD Heart Cardiovasular



IBM’s FringeIBM’s Fringe

Fringe allows people to create a more robust employee profile

Allows other people those profiles with related keywords (e.g. web expert) that appear in their profiles.



PurposePurpose

385,000 employees > 1.5 million directory hits per day

Only 40% of profiles have been updated in the previous 9 month period



How it worksHow it works Fringe profiles display contact information and

automatically generated information from the directory as well as

Communities that they belong to Blog entries Bookmarked pages (from their social bookmarking

tool, Dogear) When you tag someone, they can tag you back (forcing

extra diligence and consideration) Authors of a tag are displayed when hovering over a tag An outgoing tag cloud shows which tags a person has

applied to another No private or hidden tags Search for people or experts by tag (subject matter)



Why it worksWhy it works

“These tags often tend to be both more current and more complete than automatically generated or owner supplied classifications.

“People-tagging has a valuable side benefit: it enables the community to collectively maintain each others interest and expertise profiles.”

Why?Why?

BT views social media tools as a huge opportunity to transform the way employees interact

Prior to, over 4,000 of its employees voluntarily joined a Facebook group called ‘BT’

No anonymous posting

“Many believe that trying to stop social media tools seeping onto intranets is a futile activity anyway, so it is better to introduce them on your terms in a managed way.”

Lessons learntLessons learnt Focus on value not risk! Start anywhere … start immediately Start small and build slowly – follow the energy of yes through

the network We learn what works by doing the work … so … …let users try as early as possible – ‘warts and all’ – succeed or

fail quickly … and cheaply! Engage legal/HR/security early… and emphasise evolution not

revolution Have realistic expectations … the intranet is not the internet! Harness the enthusiasm of the enthusiastic … especially if

senior Sometimes … ‘the only form of transportation is a leap of faith’!

… proceed until apprehended!
