                            What is the most appropriate model for business networks ?
                            Are social network initiatives aligned with enterprise objectives ?

                             Social Networks: what do we do ?”

Conclusion

Enterprise Social Networks are here to stay and
their impact continues to grow rapidly
Very different from personal social networks like
Facebook - two different sports as Soccer and
Rugby (ball is the network: rules are quite different)
Implementing Enterprise Social Networks requires a
disciplined approach and enterprise management
implication

Implementation of Enterprise Social Networks is
not recommended during a crisis: it requires a
plan and very important it is holistic
