Notas do Editor
- A disclaimer – I left ING in December, I do have their permission to give this presentation about our work there implementing an Enterprise Social Network, and the project manager gave me access to recent info and data. I’m now working on a book – loosely titled “the Enterprise Social Network Playbook”, so I’ve been researching and writing about this topic more since then.
- So what did we learn through this process – lots! I’m going through the ten big lessons.
- Involve users. In that grassroots pilot we had there were about 400 active users of about 3000 total and they turned out to be our innovators and our earliest adopters. We had users involved from the beginning – from the design and startup phases, including crowd sourcing a name - Buzz was the name chosen, it wasn’t my choice - I agreed on proviso that there were no “cute bees” – so the launch video included an “angry bee” so be careful what you wish for! We had a usability testing using a wireframe on a the table mat in the cafes. We’ve had user sessions – physical meetings We’ve had “#buzzchats” to collect input from users
- Naming Usability Testing Ideas on a placemat please Chat 1 hour #buzzchats to discuss the future of Buzz Crowd-source ideas for New projects Promotion Involved in the development cycle
- Put in place very simple governance If you’re asking people to share knowledge it doesn’t make sense to put a lot of rules in place This was challenging because we’re in a highly regulated risk-averse industry HR colleagues wanted all profile images reviewed (back in 2010) - I agreed, and sent them an outline of what that would take ie; budget from them and a workflow including who from HR would do the reviewing. - As of 1 December 2013 I hadn’t heard back - most people used a passport photo, I came across about 3 or 4 who didn’t RISK colleagues wanted “four eyes”, as in a check because they saw it as publishing content to our intranet - got agreement to go with publishing under the person’s own name, plus a reporting feature - a total of three reported incidents; one was by mistake.
- “I understand that I am responsible for the content I share and publish on Buzz, and I agree with the user agreement” Everything you do is in your own name; this stops trolling and helps keep people focussed on work (when we had one platform allowing anon comments we did see some trolling unfortunately). To people who have pointed out the advantage of having anonymous submissions our answer is – if there’s really a need for that it points to a bigger problem.
- Use the tool as much as you can to do your own work – you will build credibility, You will build credibility by using it in the way you expect your users to They will copy your behaviour, Sharing Open Questioning Respectful Particularly important in the case of any “difficult conversations”
- You’ll set up a virtuous circle where you learn from your users
- We found this was most necessary on phase 2 – when we went global. When we first launched it was a quiet launch, and the users were from the innovator or or early adopter groups and were able to solve problems themselves When we started the global roll out we increased support…. And when we turned off the “online directory” which forced people to use Buzz we upped it even more. I brought in an extra person for 10 hours a week; when I interviewed her I warned her there could be a lot of grumpy people and her answer was “Grumpy People are my Speciality”… she got the job! Within a year we could reduce it again because enough people know how to use Buzz that they answered each other’s questions.
- Daily check by community manager - but most questions answered by members including the one shown
- Community managers are heroes They’re your front line They do so much of the real work of building adoption in your company. Who has full time community managers with that as a job title? We didn’t, one is a cheap reason – we were not allowed to hire new people, and any new role like that would have been a board decision. But it also turns out to be good that community managers have subject matter expertise, and can support their colleagues on the content. We’ve set up training for our community managers, and we also offer coaching to help them get started – we’ve seen communities be more successful when that is in place. The best community managers are also the ones who can see the business value and demonstrate that value to senior management
- Originally started more as a “PR” community, but found there were a lot of functional questions – so changed purpose, spent time talking to the people who use the Kreta tool The Kreta tool is an internal tool used in the assessment of loans. Average response time was 8 days. Questions asked via Buzz get answers on the same day, so response time is now averaging 4 hours (there are a few that take extremely long to solve though – Buzz can’t answer everything). It’s a huge success with 100% of the users ( no that is not a made up statistic) saying they’re happy with Buzz. If we’d taken a traditional route of calcutating ROI, and deciding what would be created we would never have found this.
- Mostly small design projects Will see if we can use it for non-critical translation work as well (HR) Original idea came from an intern, it now has procurement department support Again the original Buzz team would never have thought of this.
- A small design project = make a brochure/poster to promote Buzz, this was done via the Crowdsavers community. Then members of the community translated it; within two working days we had the text in 8 languages.
- To quote Kevin Cody “It’s not about technology most intranets do the same thing functionally” If you’re at the stage of chosing a platform you’ll spend a lot of time thinking about technology and figuring out what you need. We had lots of technical challenges around implementation and connectivity so by the time we launched we felt a great sense of completion – but actually the fun was just beginning. Once you’re past implementation stop talking about it; when you describe how your Enterprise Social Network works this (image) is what people hear. It’s confusing and not useful for them. Instead talk about “what’s in it for me?”, and how it can be used.
- Exec IT User Community managers Business partners HR Platform managers Finance Risk
- Talk to them about business outcomes, about value you bring to business Talk about real time collaboration - not an internal facebook - not social Find a role for them, and make them visible. When we started the project we had a CEO who believed it was a good idea and supportive (appeared in launch video) In October last year we had new, much younger CEO start and he is committed, and uses Buzz for pretty serious conversations. The internal comms team help!
- Blog post (roughly once a week) He took on the role in October and has been active from the beginning – this is his first post, and has 262 likes It’s been very positively received, although it is extra work for the internal communications colleagues. It’s been used for strategy discussions… Knowledge sharing Faster solutions Innovation Crowd-sourcing Service channel And we have data and examples to suppor that now.
- It’s not enough to look at just the “traffic” data of user numbers and activity, you have to dig a little deeper and analyse what’s going on in the community. We’re now working on a content valuation model, to try and see if we can predict what will make communities work better; We already know that training community managers and coaching them once they start are key. And we’ve identified some communities with real business value, particularly in the communities of practice and internal service channels.

- The users came up with this tag for when something has worked in Buzz in a way that they think is better or faster than other means. In this case one person posted a question about something negative they’d seen on facebook, one of the experts is going to sort it out. In the email days this would have taken an email spaghetti to sort out – This was solved in a few days (granted it could get faster), in an open way.
- Work is still social We still want some social interaction on Buzz; I strongly believe that if there is some of that social “glue” there you’ll find it easier to understand each other, and less likely to head to conflict if there is a disagreement.
- There are communities for; Travelling Photography Running Art Bear tasting Our attitude was always – you chat at work, there’s a social glue element to every interaction, Buzz is the same. However! We don’t want it to be more than about 10% of the activity, and it hasn’t been.
- I guarantee that you don’t know enough to guess where the best uses of your ESN will come from. I showed you the Kreta Community earlier – it supports a tool that supports lending officers when they assess loans. The people managing that tool started a community to talk to the users and found that there was a gap in supporting them. Pre- Buzz any issues were submitted to a central helpdesk, and the average time to resolve it was 8 days. They ran a pilot on Buzz, using it as a support tool, and the response time has dropped. We’re now measuring in hours. I would NEVER have known that this was a sepcific and valuable use of Buzz, even though I know colleagues helping colleagues was a good idea. There isn’t a single tidy case for using an ESN, it takes an array of uses, and you’ll only find those when you really let the users “own the platform.
- Buzz at ING is the platform people use to collaborate and share knowledge It’s a success, now available to all INGers, and actively used by many. It was a tough challenge from day one, but I knew it was a success in a thousand tiny ways – all the measurements pointed to it, but it was more than that. It was the emails I would get that invited me to join a community on Buzz, it was people talking about what they’d done on Buzz, there was the guy in IT who told me he had no time for facebook but couldn’t work without Buzz.
