Is “Web 2.0” just another term that will disappear in another 12 months or is it here to stay? The race to develop an effective collaborative working environment is fast becoming a key business objective for companies across the globe. An efficient way to save time and money, introducing applications similar to those dubbed “Web 2.0” found on the external web can be a quick and easy way to promote knowledge-sharing and internal communication.
When funding is hard to come by, it is vital that you choose the systems that will prove to be a solution to any existing issue in your business. Identifying whether these applications will help or hinder your processes can be difficult to assess so attend Ark Group's Enterprise 2.0: The evolution of collaboration in your business to gain your peers' insights into investigating the potential pitfalls and benefits of social media.
During the course of the two days, gain a real understanding of what social software can do for your business and pose questions to the panel on what “Web 2.0” is and what it can do for you internally. Also benefit from key knowledge and insight, highlights include:
British American Tobacco examining the benefits and pitfalls of collaboration
Cabinet Office discussing how Government bodies plan to implement social software over the coming months
Guardian Unlimited revealing the way in which they effectively utilise their online blogs
See collaboration in action on our exclusive online demonstration from BT and the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), who have successfully implemented technologies to harness the power of collaborative, “Web 2.0”-style applications. BT will talk you through expanding your communications strategy with social software and LSC will review the process of developing social networking in the public sector.
These sessions are designed to give you an understanding of how to exploit social software within your organisation, how to work together with different departments to fulfil the needs of your employees and how to enhance your current internal communications strategy. Both will demonstrate to their success in implementing social software internally and you will get the chance to quiz each of them on their methods and see the applications in practice.
