DESCRIPTION
Microsoft has gone social in a big way with Yammer - but are you ready for it? A successful social solution must give end users the foundational tools needed to effectively collaborate with coworkers, clients and partners while maintaining control of access, security and content. Each business has a different sweet spot when it comes to creating an engaging social environment that drives collaboration and meaningful dialogue. An enterprise social network's success is dependent on unearthing your employees' key motivational drivers, aligning the solution to your company's culture, your vision for leveraging cloud-based solutions, and tailoring a strategy to fit. In this slideshare, we take a look at what planning for Yammer success really entails, and the importance of a social maturity assessment, community use case planning and a communication plan. We also discuss the value of a Yammer pilot.

#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
ntroducing Users is the First Step

Plan: Cloud Infrastructure
• Directory Sync for Profiles / Identity• Internal, External? Admins and Governance• What about SharePoint?
–Online–On-premise
• Pilot with key user groups–We suggest at least 250 users for a good sampling–It will grow organically–Which groups? Funny you should ask
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
Communication Plan
• Answer key questions – for audiences – on a schedule

GET ADVANCED
Focus
• These are your advanced use cases• Integrations – should be high value to a specific
community–Sales and CRM–HR: Hiring and job applications–Et cetera
• Start small, grow big. No big bangs!
• Training materials still matter – remember– Only 21% are Trained– 35% love learning from coworkers
• Focus on those early adopters (Champions!)
• Provide materials on call for the masses• http://discoversharepoint.com• http://success.yammer.com• https://about.yammer.com/moments/

• Bring IT & End Users together–Communities and groups–Steering team
• Steering and the strategic roadmap• Keep #ESN open . . . but provide that safety net of
education and guided use cases
