“People say, "Where's the charge code for using social media? How do you budget for that?" And

I'm like, "Where's the charge code for going to Google? Where's the charge code for using the

Internet or shooting the emails that are out there?" In order for a social networking applications to

be successful, they have to be integrated in the day-to-day workstream.”

“There are innovators within every company, you just have to find them. Start a council, invite

people to round tables and Web casts, start blogging, create a help site. We've done all these

things through our council to get the company inspired about what Web 2.0 actually

means, technologically as well as culturally.”

- Dan Pontefract, Senior Director of Learning

“In our early days we spent a lot of time with the Naysayers. But now if they don’t want it, we

move on. In fact, I am proactively telling them that they don’t qualify to use our SharePoint site.

Ironically we found the adoption rate is going up and the Naysayers are coming back”
