Tech-B09
How to Get Your Social Portal Users Engaged from the Beginning with Interactive Requirements
1:45 PM Meeting Room 406
You’ve seen it before, a project kicks off, everyone’s excited and then you hit requirements sessions, a mind numbing attempt to define the scope and vision of your social portal. Your business users disengage, your timeline takes a hit, and your troubles increase before you create the first line of code. It doesn’t have to be that way. In this session, we’ll walk you through what topics to cover, how to create an interactive session using cool tools and out of the box social portal functionality. We’ll help you get your users engaged and get your projects off to the right start. We’ll even give you some templates for your next project.
Also don’t miss Jonathan Distad’s session at 8:30 this morning:
Driving ROI and adoption in exceptional social experiences with gamification
Jonathan Distad, Lead Consultant, Perficient
Rajat Paharia, Founder, Bunchball
You’ve decided to go social and you have been given the mandate to get it up and have it adopted in a short period of time. You know that social isn’t a ‘build it and they will come’ scenario – you need a plan and some tools to help drive adoption. Enter gamification – not a new concept but new to social. Drive ROI of social web experiences with gamification to nearly immediately drive adoption, competition and much more. Gamification drives adoption and creates viralization of social across all verticals and job functions. It can also connect and create socialization of e-learning, HR policy adoption and much more. In this session you will see hands on proof of what gamification is and how it can dramatically increase ROI and adoption within your organization’s social experience through examples of integration into Portal and Connections as well as practical and realistic ways to keep the adoption going throughout the gamification horizon.
