Should Facebook Get Into the Employee Collaboration Space?

Should Facebook Get Into the Employee Collaboration Space?

The Feature Adoption Framework for Social Collaboration

The Feature Adoption Framework for Social Collaboration

By Jacob Morgan on July 22, 2013

One of the things that organizations need to consider when rolling out a social collaboration platform is how various features will impact or affect adoption.  Most platforms today have dozens of features but should organizations roll them out all at once?  That can certainly be one approach.  But another approach which I find to be […]

By Jacob Morgan on May 9, 2013

The Gap Between the Consumer Web and the Enterprise

By Jacob Morgan on May 8, 2013

Much of what we are seeing in the enterprise is being fueled by the consumer web.  For example if there would have been no Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook, or Linkedin, chances are there would be no Jive, Yammer, Chatter, or any other enterprise collaboration platform.  The behaviors we exhibit on social media channels are also making […]
