It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at the office. Besides hopping from LA to NYC to Chicago to work with various and sundry eye-catching clients, we’ve been turning out essays on a couple of hot topics:
- ROI (Return On Investment) as provided by Enterprise Social Networks
- Governance in Yammer, specifically External Networks
In the first instance, we’ve got an article up over at CMSWire discussing the futility of using ROI as a case for investing in enterprise social. The wiser course by far is to leverage one of the freemium networks available (and of course, I’m personally partial to Yammer– the best one out there) and let it build value within your organization first. That basically makes the case for you.
The second piece covers Yammer directly, and specifically goes into the design of Usage Policies for Yammer’s External Networks. These are a great tool for communicating and collaborating with clients, vendors and partners– so long as you design a binding Usage Policy with several key guidelines in mind. In our post on ViewDo Labs’ enterprise social blog, we tell you what those guidelines are.
Curious? I hope so! Check out the latest and let us know what you think.
