5. The transformation began in 2006 The interest in the consumerization of the enterprise probably began with this article in the MIT Sloan. Facebook had roughly 12 million users at the time Page 5 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
6. Time shifting & place shifting We then discovered that the same type of time shifting happening among consumers was taking place in the workplace too. People were switching between tasks, collaborating and consuming media in completely new ways Page 6 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
7. Mass Collaboration Everywhere At Razorfish we started playing around with some of the new social technologies. Our wiki which won a Groundswell award changed the way we shared information with each other dramatically Page 7 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
8. And now Web 2.0 is the mainstream web Three in four US online adults now use social tools to connect with each other compared with just 56% in 2007. Forrester Research, October 2008
10. This isn’t a bad thing. It means people are thinking about their personal lives at work but their work lives at home too That’s why I consider it to be the Facebook in the Enterprise phenomena Page 10 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
11. 5 Reasons for a Symbiotic Relationship 1. Facebook enters the Enterprise 2. Principles of Trust everywhere 3. Big Ideas & Little Ideas matter 4. Social Graphs serve as a bridge 5. Organizations have changed Page 11 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
12. The Strength of Weak Ties So what have we learnt? That certain social networking principles apply as much to the design of solutions for the enterprise as they do for consumers. Here are few The people you are most loosely connected to in a network are the most powerful ones Mark Granovetter, 1973
13. Everything built on trust People share with each other online, if they trust each other offline. Barry Wellman, 2007 This explains why Facebook and MySpace succeeded when sites like Sixdegrees.com and Tripod failed. They did not put enough emphasis on the trusted relationships. Intranets in organizations with strong cultures succeed for the same reasons. That’s why culture matters
14. Other Concepts People join networks if they already have friends on them Behavior patterns on one network are influenced by others Growth happens in the giant component and is influenced by stars Network size has a complex influence on members People “put in a position” to disseminate information that belongs to someone else in their social network. That’s where trust breaks down Page 14 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
18. 5 Reasons for a Symbiotic Relationship 1. Facebook enters the Enterprise 2. Principles of Trust everywhere 3. Big Ideas & Little Ideas matter 4. Social Graphs serve as a bridge 5. Organizations have changed Page 18 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
19. Once upon a time we lived in a world where everything was about the big idea. Whether it was the personal computer, reality TV or iPods, these were all big ideas. We spent time thinking about the next big one.
20. Now a lot of little ideas are more powerful than the single big one. Why? Because people choose the best ideas and not the experts. Little ideas are changing the world too
21. Facebook Newsfeeds Facebook’s newsfeed is a great example. When launched, it wasn’t a big idea. In fact a lot of people thought it was simply an invasion of their privacy. Today we know its one of the reasons for Facebook’s phenomenal growth. It makes the social graph real Page 21 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
22. People don’t start collaborating on the first day. You first need to provide context & content and champion entrepreneurship before fuelling participation. And similar insights matter in the enterprise too. Facebook didn’t launch its site with Newsfeed. They first established themselves with context and content. Think about your enterprise initiatives the same way Page 22 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.

26. A corporate example, of the Ford Marketing Intranet that we built. You know what’s interesting about it? It looks like a consumer social media solution as it should. Shows the symbiotic relationship Page 26 © 2008 Razorfish. All rights reserved.
