Social intranets solve real business problems

I've been busy with social intranets for a few years now and here are some of the real world business problems I've seen them fix:

  1. Knowledge loss
  2. Difficult to find/share information
  3. Employee disaffection*
  4. Individual isolation
  5. Lack of collaboration / teamwork
  6. Low level of camaraderie
  7. Difficult integration process for new employees
  8. Absence of company loyalty
  9. Inability to work anywhere/anytime
  10. Difficulty in recruiting top talent **

* People just don't like inefficiency. If they feel like they're being inefficient they start hating their jobs…

** The tools you offer have a tremendous impact on potential employees. If you offer outdated tools, you won't attract top talent...
