DESCRIPTION
I get asked this question a lot "Why can't I just use email instead of enterprise social networking?" This is often followed by "we have these great distribution lists..." etc This is my simple explanation that sometimes works to convert emailers into enterprise social network evangelists, or at the very least, users.TRANSCRIPT
Why don’t we just use email instead of enterprise social
networking?
I get asked this a lot
This is how I explain it
it starts with an idea
shared with 5 people for comments
This generates 5 new emails
1 response from each team member
Generates
25
new emails
thats 5 new emails each
person has to read
Thats just to get everyone’s
first response
this is not collaborating
this is socialising an idea
collaborationnoun
1. the action of working with someone to produce something.
Definition
Collaboration is a fluid exchange of perspectives
from a group of people
to produce something
When everyone responds twicethats 50
new emails
When everyone responds 3 timesthats 75
new emails
What if you add a 6th or 7th person?
adding people exponentially
increases the number of emails
you get the idea
email looks like this
enterprise social networkinglooks like this
its linear
it flows
its easy to read
Moving from email to enterprise social networking
will increase your productivity by up to
25%
