Employee Profiles: It’s not Just the ‘What’ You Are, but the ‘Who’ - Michael Gotta

When organizations discuss the business value of social networking, the conversation invariably includes a discussion on employee profiles.

Strategists, sponsors, champions, and management teams often (not always but frequently) make the assumption that employees will create and maintain their own profiles. These profiles will include rich information not captured elsewhere in corporate systems. Rich employee profile data that is broadly accessible by co-workers will enable the organization to improve its ability to locate experts, discovery new sources of talent, connect people across the globe working on similar business activities, and enable better community-building.

While these benefits are all possible, I consistently find that profiles are a common adoption hurdle faced by project teams across virtually all industry sectors.
