Knowledge Sharing using Social Media Tools in the Enterprise
People already share knowledge within the enterprise. If you want people to share more, or with different people (or both) you're going to have to make it either really easy for them, or really important to them (or preferably both). Hear how microblogging is being used in the enterprise and about other social media tools to connect people, enhance knowledge sharing, and enable collaboration.
