Good Afternoon Everyone. will started by Introducing my self and role in CSG. Ive graduated as an Honors Student in Management Information System. I began this journey as an IT/Mkt Assistant back in August and I have since successfully completed a 7month position.
Picture :
I was tasked with implementing different strategies to improve Information Sharing across the organisation. The outcome resulted in 3 separate work streams been outlined:
Deploy a social network platform for employees to communicate internally
(Social exchanging of company information will encourage the employees to get involved)
Refining case studies across EMEA region
(Previously Case Studies material would not have been shared and the valuable knowledge stays within that project team)
Launch a Website in a grouping fashion for all the different departments
(No centralised location to perform a search had existed)
This area is crucial to the organisation, helping to grow the business environment which will improve access internally and to their customers
Chatter Deployed
At the beginning there was a few options to assess and after comparing the features to each, Chatter was our Choice to Introduce to the organisation
The first initial thoughts was to roll this out to Project Groups with the aim to reduce email volumes at the beginning.
Soon after this, the prospect arose to start introducing some Job Families to Chatter
Status of Chatter:
Deployed 18 Group since I started- Divided into 12 Projects & 6 Family – totaling to 570 users assigned to groups
Roll out of the Desktop Application in the first week of January
Introduced Chatter Only Fridays for groups to make a significant reduction in the numbers of e-mails been shared
In the next slide, a closer look to individual Chatter groups will be analyzed
Since the first launched of the first group back in September, there has been many more groups becoming live and performing on this collaboration platform.
Here is an overview of the both a Project and Job Family Groups- consisting of Meteor Project and The Architectures & BC Group
Meteor consists of 11 members and have made a massive contribution in making 313 posts to date –(Popular 2 topics –Morning Status, Performance CR)
Arch & BC consists of 38 members and have shared 74 posts amongst the members – (New Project SRS, Organisational Readiness V9)
A member from each group has provide their insight and opinion of Chatter:
Meteor- Very helpful to let co-workers know about projects day to day updates and also about CSG updates/news
Arch BC- Gaining Momentum and there is a higher interested to share their own experiences
This slide highlights the responses that had influence the communication process within in the group :
The research was conducted by following up on the users experiences within in the two most active groups
The information collected showed if there was still a strong belief that this communication tool would perform. (We needed this to illustrate to further groups that internal communication is the way to move forward)

All describe
The Reasoning – Information amongst the organisation was scattered across different paths and links. Many items could be found in two separate locations
Personal Review – Once I started here in this position – I found it so hard to find stuff and spent many hours searching for the information
Reached out to senior members from different department of the organisation to build a community of links for each
Needed a platform to provide a easy assess with a reliable navigation to the users– Job families in EMEA that are most accessed/ Key links to store
Why doing it
Purpose
Gathered
Have opened in the background -
Top three are main Portals – this reference came from over 40 different users and are seen as the most relevant Portals
Eliminates the need to bookmark the link and arrange those / Spent time searching
Not limited to EMEA and could easily become a Global tool for the organisation
