Becoming Social Enterprise: a step-by-step processSetting-up the stage. Choosing the right business goal. Launching for success.

Virginie Glaenzer

Step One: Setting-up the stage• Decrease resistance (address fear, objections

and negativity from employees and social teams)

• Find investment resources (people, tools, time) • Get leadership support and select gardeners

and evangelists - usually early adopters who will help build awareness using case studies to help with adoption.

Virginie Glaenzer

Step Two: Define a Business goal

• Define a business goal with specific expectations Increase productivity? Cost saving? Share knowledge?

Increase sales? Competitive research? Innovation?...

• Select metrics to track successes and failures Metrics are based on business goal Asking employees to self-report their ROI is a great

way to let they know that social media has a direct impact on the business and is not a nice-to-have or a cool thing to do

Virginie Glaenzer

Step Three: Launch for success• Focus on one business unit or group at a time• Introduce gardeners and evangelists officially

from top down • Meet regularly to review objectives and progress• Let word of mouth spread internally to other

units or groups• Learn from first experience and expand to other

business units or groups

Virginie Glaenzer

Step Four: Refine and Improve• On-going training is needed as new tools appear

and needs evolve• Keep listening to people’s needs and challenges• Foster the new social culture• Innovation will come naturally

How does Enterprise 2.0 operate?How are communities used? How does Enterprise 2.0 create, market and communicate products?

Virginie Glaenzer

Creating a product in Enterprise 2.0

• Social media used in market research will gather enough data, insights and perspectives to answer questions such as:

Where are online conversations that are relevant to my product and innovation happening today?

What are those conversations about, and how do they impact my product and market?

Who are my detractors and promoters and what is tone of conversations on my brand and product (sentiment analysis)?

Virginie Glaenzer

Creating a product in Enterprise 2.0

In enterprise 2.0, internal teams (research, engineering and marketing):

• Collaborate together and use social media as a

giant focus group made up by social virtual communities to understand competitive positioning

• Use real time listening tools (blogs, twitter, Facebook...) to monitor share of mind and share of conversastion

Product Marketing in Enterprise 2.0

A 3-steps process:

Selling Product in Enterprise 2.0

Used in Sales, social media helps CRM to better qualify prospects and clients by:

• Identifying links between prospects and clients (within a company but also between companies _as friends, currently discussing online, having twitter communication or speaker at the same event than, etc…_

• Classifying virtual social communities: a virtual social community is an online group of people passionate by an expertise or a topic (i.e cloud computing experts, mommy bloggers, wine lovers, pet owners...)

• Calculating influence level of each prospect and client.

Selling Product in Enterprise 2.0

Integrating social media into a CRM application:

• Improves sales qualification process and enables sales people to develop the right relationship:"Should I spend time developing a one to one relationship and invite personally this prospect to a webinar or should I put this lead into an automatic newsletter program for nurturing?“

• Enables ongoing and deep qualification process with integrated alert when prospect tweets about competitors or keywords which will enable sales rep to focus his/her attention back at the right time.

• Find influencers based on location, community type, company and keyword for better quality prospecting and higher closing rate.

Virginie Glaenzer

Communicating in Enterprise 2.0

•The Web 2.0 revolution has mainly been the revolution of user generated content

•Content is created non-stop and so are opportunities for brand exposure and user engagement

Virginie Glaenzer

Communicating in Enterprise 2.0

Once external and internal communities are identified and developed:

• Identify key influencers • Plan laser sharp outreach selectively to top,

magic middle or long tail in the targeted community

• Buzz on what matters for who matters• Publish hyper relevant feeds• Track and measure outreach and inbound links

on social media content
