Social media relies on voluntary usage, which is also the hardest part of designing new tools. Therefore, our main theme is creating a social media tool that would be adopted not through forcing but pure inner motivation of its users. Our suggestion is to design the corporate social media tool on the Facebook platform, as a mash-up of other useful applications listed below (idea being that daily work is performed on the platform):
- Knowledge sharing, creation and management
o Database of documents (ppt,doc,xls – tags)
o Projects organized in FB-groups (tags, best practices, can be searched, different corporate levels)
o Like/dislike or such rating (projects, documents, any content)
o Applications/games/simulations to generate new ideas/knowledge
o RSS feed news
o Article/book bank (Gartner, Forrester, tags)
- Decision making
o FB-questionnaires (data/consensus creation, innovations)
o Collaborative decision making (demand forecasting, Delphi method, conflict resolution, risk assessment)
- Project management
o Doodle (meetings)
o Google docs
o Tags (skills, projects)
o Project comparison (incentives, competitiveness)
o Budgeting
- Daily routines
o Calendar (FB-invitations)
o Online service desk (booking premises, train tickets)
o ”You might also be interested in this” (Amazon)
o Widgets (Mac Dashboard, calculator, feeds)
o Email integrated (efficiency, Google Wave, threads)
o Dictionary & spell check
o Speach recognition, voice memos
- Networking & communication
o Interest groups
o Live chat & conferencing (Skype
- Human resources
o Ratings system for employees (recommendations)
o Team generation (skills tagged, CV-bank, worker profiles, like/dislike ratings)
o Career development (interest profiles, career paths -> assignment to trainings & projects)
- Sense of community
o Wiki, Blogs
o Podcasts
- Information integration
o Company ERP integration
o Supplier evaluation
- Incentives
o Salary bonuses (activity, like/dislike, recommendations
o User interface customization
- Organization structure
o Social network mapping (organize processes and company organizational structure accordingly)
