- 7. IBM’s Journey to becoming a Social Business “ IBM has been “walking the social media walk” for four decades, a formidable task for a company that currently has a globally dispersed team of 400,000.” “ IBM is moving itself and its clients well beyond social media into a new era of collaboration, insight sharing, and lead generation it calls Social Business.” “ I was in the middle of writing my book and conducting in depth research of companies that were at least talking about or referring to a social business. One company seemed to dominate the conversation, IBM . I watched more closely and realized that there were literally hundreds of IBM employees collaborating with the community and adding value to the “social business” conversation.” - Michael Brito, Author “ As a global technology leader focused on delivering forward-looking technology and solutions, IBM is no stranger to taking a unique approach in order to generate a stronger end result. To encourage discussion and foster a cultural affinity for social media across its vast network of 400,000 employees, countless partners, and global customer base, IBM made social engagement a key responsibility of every employee . Through a collaborative effort led by marketing, employees embraced social media to help get the word out about IBM solutions and events. The result was a measurable increase in awareness and tighter collaboration among IBM employees to better meet customer needs.” Social Business

Editor's Notes
- Hello. I'm xxxxxxx, We are in the midst of an important transformation: we are witnessing a significant change in the way business gets done. It's impossible to ignore the rise of social media and the impact it's having on the enterprise: the implications for business are profound. And while this shift certainly means new challenges or issues to think though- like risk or governance, to name two- it also ushers in overwhelming possibilities. Among some of those companies that have started to embrace this shift, the correlation of social media and business success is becoming increasingly clear. In this presentation I want to talk about why we think this is happening and the implications for our businesses- what does a social business look like, what are some of the opportunities we see and what does an organization need to do to progress on its journey to becoming a Social Business.
- IBM is no stranger to transformation. Back in the early 90's prior to the arrival of Loy Gerstner there were plans to Plans to break up IBM into smaller, supposedly more nimble businesses. Mr Gerstenr decided this was not a good idea and decided to get the company in financial shape via other means. Based on some of the cost cutting tactics IBM transitioned from the traditional office to the mobile office. Given teams were no longer sitting across form one another collaboration was introduced as a means to ensure dispersed workgroups were up to date on corporate information and able to continue working as teams within traditional offices. While our we have always communicated and collaborated very closely with our business partners they too were included in this collaboration. Next as our level of collaboration maturity developed and we were very successful in leveraging expertise and knowledge across the company and with our business partners world wide, we began to see tools being developed that were enabling a different type of dialog to take place, not just around doing business but how we could do business better. Someone in Boston would post an idea on how to do something better and it would turn into a global dialog.. then these same teams would step up and begin to execute......that was the introduction of social within IBM. Since then we continue to think of new ways and channels for:. Connecting people to expertise. whether customers, partners or employees and generate new sources of innovation, foster creativity, and establish greater reach and exposure to new business opportunities. Learning and remove any unnecessary boundaries between experts inside the company and experts in the marketplace. We embrace tools and leadership models that support capturing knowledge and insight from many sources so that we can ensure we quickly sense changes in our industry, customer mood, employee sentiment, or process efficiencies Leverages our social networks to speed up business, gaining real-time insight to make quicker and better decisions. getting information and services tto customers and partners in new ways - faster.
