Enterprise Social Networking: The Keys to Success

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Millions of business professionals have access to enterprise social networks at work, but how many of them are active on the platforms? As simple as social platforms are to use, full adoption within a company is not exactly turnkey and may require a thought-out, rollout strategy. It’s time we talk about adoption strategies: what works, and what doesn’t work.

Join industry analysts, executives, social media consultants and some of our tibbr community strategists (responsible for increasing adoption for over 6.5 million paid tibbr users) for our upcoming Tweet Chat, #ChatESN. This chat will focus on the best practices of adoption, the barriers that may be encountered and how to overcome them, as well as the concerns that may arise from this new culture.

What is a Tweet Chat, you ask? A panel of subject matter experts participate in a 1-hour Twitter dialog during which they discuss the questions listed below. Our moderator will ask the questions and all you need to do is answer with A1, A2, A3 (and so forth depending on the Q) and include the hashtag #ChatESN.

When:  October 23rd, 10:30am PT/ 1:30 pm ET
