Social Networks have been the talk of the Internet for the past year, yet for enterprises, the real action may be out of public view. Internal social networks are transforming knowledge management, communications at employee relations and very large companies, fulfilling through peer-to-peer relationships the promise of early intranets. Forrester has estimated that behind-the-firewall social networks will be a $4.6 billion market in four years. A recent study by Awareness found that six percent of organizations already have deployed internal-facing communities and 33 percent indicate they plan to deploy them.
This session examines the benefits and best practices of internal social networks with a particular emphasis on where to find the payoffs and how to encourage employee adoption.
