ENTERPRISE SOCIAL FACILITATES PRODUCTIVITY

According to Harvard Business Review, “radical transparency” is the idea that everyone should know everything. When organizations use this concept, they have the potential to improve business performance dramatically.

HBR outlines the following 3 primary areas radical transparency would affect:

FOCUS: When individuals' progress and priorities are made evident at the beginning of each quarter, goals are clearer and employees can set visible objectives.

ENGAGEMENT: Employee progress is better when it is obviously tied totheir performance because it increasesa commitment to the corporate mission. This is often achieved by setting benchmarks and rewards to strive for.

GROWING TALENT: If high-performing employees are rewarded for their work and it is made transparent to newer members of a department or company, the recruits will be motivated to mirror a similar work ethic.

Achieving Company Goals with Socialcast

TECHNICALEMPLOYEES 2,000

13M calls its Socialcast community “Spark.”

“Socialcast supports technical collaboration in two important ways. First, it helps us share and discuss content available on our ‘knowledge at rest’ resources (3M’s wikis and massive stores of database-stored information). Second, it facilitates ‘knowledge in motion’ (those dynamic bits of data and information you find in the activity streams in Spark1).By capturing and sharing knowledge in motion, Spark helps 3M technical employees find a more direct path to information and expertise that can help solve problems in real time.”

—John WoodworthTech Forum Chair-Elect and Head of IT Lab Collaboration

GOAL: KNOWLEDGE IN MOTION

10

HOW SOCIALCAST HELPS ACHIEVE THE GOAL

3M technical employees found that Spark allows them to ask questions and get responses in real time, saving employees hours of time locating resources across their global offices.

Right out of the box, Socialcast satisfied one of Woodworth's main goals: to create a global laboratory environment.

Because the company operates in 65 countries, with 35 labs, Spark also brings members closer together in a community.

“We chose Socialcast for its ability to integrate with other business systems through its Reach extensions and because of the robust privacy and security features that gave us the confidence our data would be protected.

Ironically, what SharePoint misses is the ability to have easily discovered interactive discussions and organize around groups of common interest, and that’s where Socialcast really shines.”

—Jeff RossCommunity Manager for Enterprise Social Media

GOAL: SECURE COLLABORATION

12

HOW SOCIALCAST HELPS ACHIEVE THE GOAL

For security purposes, Humana elected to have its Socialcast deployment on-premise to keep its highly sensitive data secure, and to ensure that it stayed in compliance with the health care industry’s regulations.

In addition, one of the most successful aspects of the Socialcast initiative at Humana has been the integration of social capabilities within other enterprise applications via Socialcast Reach extensions.

Humana has created more than 20 different apps to help measure and monitor employee engagement on its Socialcast community, called "Buzz."

GOAL: BETTER COMMUNICATION SAVES LIVES

NUMBER OFEMPLOYEES 8,000

“We needed a tool that allowed our employees based in the field to connect and help each other in time-sensitive circumstances...Socialcast allows PSI staff to form groups based on their focus area but also their interests and expertise...A colleague working on malaria might also have expertise in HIV prevention. This colleague, as a member of the HIV group, might be able to lend valuable insight and assistance to HIV staff workers even though his/her official focus is in malaria treatment. Without Socialcast, these connections would never have existed.”

—Marie-Laure CurieDeputy Director of Learning and Performance

NUMBER OFEMPLOYEES 1,850

“By sharing profits, strategies, and successes publicly through Connect3, it has ultimately generated more revenue for Archant...When one sales group posts wins, other sales teams respond with their numbers, each trying to exceed results of other teams.”

—Chris ThompsonHead of Development

3Archant calls its Socialcast community “Connect.”

HOW SOCIALCAST HELPS ACHIEVE THE GOAL

Connect users get the word out as soon as technical issues are resolved, so everyone can be alerted without having to individually contact the help desk for updates—ultimately saving Archant time while adding capacity to handle more issues in a timely manner.

The Human Resources team shares new policy changes and important corporate information on the Connect community. Now, they have a way to reach those employees who weren't opening emails.

“FactSet has very smart people—always has. The greatest value lies in taking advantage of the collective knowledge of our entire company. With Socialcast, we have a social connection tool we can’t function without. Not only do you get a wider and more global perspective when you ask a question and get an answer, but that single conversation benefits everyone.”

—Meredith BinderVice President, Director of Global Marketing

GOAL: SOCIALLY CONNECTING PEOPLE

21

After launching its Socialcast community, FactSet employees began to use the platform instead of mass emails to share knowledge. Socialcast Groups were established around business functions, office activities, and personal interests and are now a must-check resource to find information and answers to questions. The result is that Socialcast has become a one-to-many global knowledge-sharing experience.

“We were driven to connect the organization with itself and realized enterprise social networking was the solution. I can truly say after more than 2 years that we have achieved an official internal communications channel. We connect daily with people from the U.S., India, China, and Brazil. Without Socialcast, it would not be possible."
