#ESN: First Impressions Matter
Getting into enterprise social the old fashioned way:
– Using SharePoint– A little clumsy, even for experienced users– Not bad, just not an easy path to social
Introducing Users is the First Step

Plan: Social Strategy Workshop
• Identify your stakeholders• Identify your key communities• Then ask two key questions:
–What’s in it for the team? –What’s in it for me?
• Identify quick wins and advanced use cases
Excitement
• Involve corporate communications• Utilize email templates from Yammer Success (or
bring your own – we do)• Create a communication plan• Identify audiences, channels and schedules
