A success story! 38 companies in 30 countries. - LeasePlan.It’s not Facebook but Corporate brain • It’s a human program driven from HR / Corporate communications • Adoption is key and not the technical aspect • Adoption scenario’s International companies struggle how to store and distribute knowledge through their organization. Re-inventing wheels with the double costs involved is a well known issue. Next to this,Generation Y is entering organizations and Baby Boomers are leaving companies rapidly. How will (young) staff find knowledge spread throughoutthe company? Who do they need to contact for a specific question etc.Business social media/connections is able to answers these questions.Currently many companies are investigating how to start with this “scary” subject. A behavioral change in trust and transparency is inevitable.
