Collaboration
Digirati believes in the wisdom of the crowd and appreciate the subtleties of nurturing participation in an effective collaborative corporate culture - one that’s truly owned by your staff.
For collaboration to work effectively within organisations, cross departmental engagement is essential. For an effective roll-out of Social Business technology it is often suggested that a top down "culture shift" needs to be driven within the organisation to foster engagement and use of the new collaboration platform.
Digirati believes that the most effective way to foster a sustainable collaboration culture is through a process where contribution and adoption start in small targeted ways, solving real business problems with the involvement of genuine enthusiasts.
From open and transparent actions of small groups of colleagues the business benefits of Social Business become apparent and energise rapid participation across the organisation. Confidence in the platform then increases and little by little culture shift is created by the people inside the organisation taking real ownership.
To facilitate this process of Social Business adoption we tailor a plan to suit our individual client’s needs which generally incorporates the following 6 steps:
- Select small cross departmental projects that are well suited to Collaboration
- Identify, engage and educate Collaboration enthusiasts
- Agree metrics and timescales for these small projects
- Develop a roadmap for adoption based on initial successes
- Look at Social Media analytics and the sharing of this data within the Collaborative platform
- Develop a strategy to extend Collaboration to partners and trusted clients
Our technical team’s extensive knowledge of the underlying protocols and standards of the leading best of breed commercial products and popular open source social applications enables us to integrate the right applications for our clients into a well architected, collaborative social business platform.
