What is enterprise social networking?
Enterprise social networking is about applying key concepts that have emerged in the Web 2.0 evolution of the consumer Internet—user-generated content, collective intelligence, and social networking—to people processes across organizations. Enterprise social networking is different from traditional models of collaboration in that it revolves around people rather than information. Collaborative processes occur in the context of all of the rich information that you have about your people: skills, job experience, education, and interests. This means that members of the connected, corporate community can find information and assess its value based on who contributed it, not just where it lies in a corporate taxonomy.
Enterprise social networking works best when it’s part of a unified set of formal and informal people management processes. The rich people profiles tracked in your people management system provide the full context necessary to build a connected, corporate community; and the visibility that you get into people’s informal contributions can drive more informed decisions about how you manage your talent. A platform for both formal people processes and informal, enterprise social networking enables the bi-directional information flows that strengthen both sets of processes.
