  26. Essentials for Social Initiative Planning • Invest adequate resources • Have champions to help you with roll-out • Think about adoption strategies early in the project • Focus on usefulness, usability, and design in your solution • Make sure your solution is compatible with existing systems • Start with pilots, learn from these, and implement improvements based on feedback • Promote the solution and provide training if needed • Manage expectations

  27. When to Focus on Adoption Social Computing Initiative Phases Launch/Monitor Concept Design Plan Pilot Evaluate Adoption Strategies and Practices Subtext Phased implementation Training, promotion Business value Success metrics and definition Strategic and Cultural Subtext Change management, cultural transformation, bridging generation gaps

  30. Commonly Asked Questions Common Questions Real-world Answers Track monthly metrics: visits to site; number of content reads; number of searches; profiles completed; content added Ultimately everyone should strive for 100% – many factors drive the magic number including size of company, geographic dispersion, age, culture, etc Minimally every quarter during the first couple of years to adapt and meet needs Two for every community of practice created; a steering committee of 3 to 7 for the overall solution or target evangelists by geography and workforce Small steering committee • How do you measure “success” • What is the magic number? • How often should you roll out new features? • How many “experts” should you enlist? • What’s the process for how you make the policy decisions?
