Why enterprise social networks fail

Written by Brad Palmer | Jan 14, 2016 8:52:06 AM

Enterprise social networks hold much promise, but keeping them work relevant and noise free is hard. Most implementations fail for these reasons:

  • Poor rollout strategies
  • Platform requires tech-savvy users
  • Cluttered social streams
  • Poorly managed social groups
  • Viral, not-work-relevant streams
  • Poor fit to culture or management style
  • Content inadvertently exposed outside org
  • Part of big, complex software suites
  • Poor engagement (low participation)
