Q & A

Agenda

“The need to work together effectively as one team is one of the biggest ongoing challenges – and opportunities – Ford faces,” said Stephen Smith, Ford Motor Company.

“SharePoint 2010: Social Networking is a key part of knowledge on demand. “Elmer Martinez, Ford’s IT Test and Verifications Systems Engineers.

Ford’s Story

SharePoint Social Features gave Ford’s 160,000 worldwide employees an open, accessible, companywide social networking platform for connecting with colleagues, sharing information, teaching, and collaborating.

EA learned about a public Facebook site devoted to their company and visited by many EA employees. When EA created their internal corporate social network called EA People, thousands joined in months.

“Various teams across EA worldwide have built redundant tools and technology, resulting in wasted effort. One of the main benefits of using SharePoint to create EA Knowledge is the sharing of knowledge and coordinated efforts globally, which helps reduce this redundancy.” – Davi Coleman, Senior CG Supervisor Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts ‘s Story I’m a fanatical fan of Fifa game

50 % of all EA employees have completed profiles on the company’s internal social site and 85 % use it to search for colleagues and find skill sets.

Connect people to collaborate in an unified environment. “On a practical level, you can say that it helps retain

knowledge, share best practices, push pertinent information out, and reduce one-off questions” said Bert Sandie, EA’s Director of Technical Excellence.

Share, Share and Share to improve knowledge. EA People uses words like “humanizes”, “bonds”, “better

communication” and “HIGH LEVELS OF TRUST.”

Reputation Point

People reputation is impacted by activities like creating posts, adding replies, etc.

Reputation is per community – reputation in one does not affect it in another community

Reputation model cannot be extended Community owners control points for each activity

Online Contest Only board members have the authority to create full list of

questions of the contest >>> Fill in 0 at the Create a new post setting.

You don’t want to add score when people answer your question >>> Fill in 0 at the Replying to a post setting.

Two answer types: selectable answer and writable answer. If selectable answer, you don’t have any OOTB feature to avoid people from

liking or rating. If writable answer, a good reply will get liked and it has additive scores.After that, according to the list of top contributors, your organization can award to top three people who have highest scores. It is all interestingly you should think about.

Community Badges

Badge is …..?

There are two type of badges in communities: Achieved badges

Gained by people by collecting points performing specific activities

Gifted badges Assigned by community owners

Community Badges

If a user has over 500 points, he will have a badge called “Master”. And if someone who has 10,000 points, I would like to add that one to group of Think Fastest.
