"I'm valuable because I am knowledgeable and am willing to share that knowledge"  The best $50 I've spent all year was for a 2-day Expo Pass for the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, June 19-20 of last week. The Enterprise 2.0 Conference (also known as #e2conf" on Twitter) is the premiere social business event in town every year. Luis Suarez goes every year, along with every other mover and shaker in the social busi In my best Enterprise 2.0, knowledge-sharing fashion, I have captured my trip report:

Reading ListGet Bold! Using Social Media to Create a New Type of Social Business, by Sandy Carter (@scarter), IBM VP, Social Business Evangelism Best cover blurb EVER: "For crying out loud, IBM 'gets' social media. Don't you think it's about time that you do? This is the book to get you started." - Guy Kawasaki Social Business by Design: Transformative Social Media Strategies for the Connected Company, by Dion Hinchcliffe (@dhinchcliffe) and Peter Kim The Collaborative Organization: A Strategic Guide to Solving your Internal Business Challenges Using Emerging Social & Collaborative Tools, by Jacob Morgan (@JacobM) (avail July 2012)
Takeaways- Much of your social networking success depends on your willingness to let the network grow organically - Nathan Bricklin - Build something that doesn't get in the way.... integrate with email - Don't follow the same path everyone else is taking... move adaptively through wildernesses nobody know. - power of diversity of thought - Priorities: 1) strategy, 2)solution (tool selection from a business need perspective, not an IT perspective) - start simple, iterate, pilots, address challenges and objectives, engage entire organization early: HR, legal, IT, internal comms - Change the Mental Model from the Traditional: "I have knowledge and must limit access to that knowledge to retain my value" to "I'm valuable because I am knowledgeable and am willing to share that knowledge" Gamification Why Gamify? Engagement ->Adoption ->Viral Growth
Set adoption and utlization goals for 1st six months FedEx use of badges and gamification
Social Network Analysis - A model for influence propagation
Eigenvector centrality - use to find influencers look for "connectors", "bridges", "boundary spanners" - key role
