OVERVIEW
THE SAP DEVELOPER COMMUNITY
LET’S START OFF WITH A LITTLE EXAMPLE HUMAN 1.0 VS. WEB 2.0
13
The SAP Developer NetworkStats:1.4 M users400K+ business expertsContent-richOriginal Incentive System:Point system leading to
personal rewardsThe Results:Bullying behavior in the
communityNew Incentive System:Point system leading to
donation to good causeThe Results:No more bullying in the
communityWeb 2.0 or Human 1.0?
A look at some NIH + Duke Research
Experiment #1:
People play Atari-style video game which allows them to earn or lose money for themselves
MRI scans shows that the pleasure side of the brain lights up – that same part that gets addicted to drugs
Experiment #2:
People play Atari-style video game which allows them to earn or lose money for a charity
MRI scans shows that the altruism side of the brain lights up – that same part that is responsible for social interactions
So to understand how to do business in a 2.0 world…
You do not need to understand the Web 2.0 technologies
You are better off understanding Human 1.0 – not as individuals, but as
hyper-social creatures
LET’S GET A LEVEL DEEPER ON THE HUMAN 1.0…
Why are social beings helping one another?
Reciprocity = a Reflex
Why are people going out of their way to punish others?
Humans have an innate sense of fairness = keeps reciprocal society working
Why do people like to look like others?
Because humans have mirror neurons
Why do we lie to market researchers?
Because we lie to ourselves and others, and we tell people what we think they want to hear
Why there is no real (big) business in the long tail
Because we are a herding species, and a self-herding one to boot
Why is status so important (and why do we hoard it)?
Because it used to get us a better mate – proceed with caution: status works both ways!
What are the important Human 1.0 Hyper-Social Traits
• Reciprocity – it’s a reflex that allows us to be the only super-social species without all being brothers and sisters
• Social framework of evaluating things vs. market framework
• The role of fairness in assessing situations
• The importance of looking cool and mimicking others
• Herding and self-herding(early research shows that social behavior does not change when it scales)
So to the extent that we can basically be human
with what we know, and share it as freely as we
possibly can, I think we’ll go a long way towards
gaining a higher or stronger level of trust with
the consumers.

THEY THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS
SUCCESSFUL HYPER-SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Informed by Tribalization of Business Study:2009 – 430 Companies took the survey (52% external communities, 32 hybrid, and 12 internal)
Hyper-Social companies think differently: a recap
• Think tribe – not market segment– We need to find groups of people who have
something in common based on their behavior, not their market characteristics
• Think knowledge network – not information channel– The most important conversations in communities
happen in networks of people, not between the company and the community.
• Think human-centricity – not company-centricity– The human has to be at the center of everything
you do, not the company• Think emergent messiness – not hierarchical fixed
processes– People will want to see responses to their
suggestions, even if it does not fit your community goals – FAST
“…affinity groups will quickly become the dominant social
force in the emerging world
economy, changing how we think about markets, fads, social
movements, and, ultimately, power”
- Tom Hayes, Jump Point: How Network
Culture is Revolutionizing Business – 2008
WHAT IS IT THAT THEY DO DIFFERENT?
HYPER-SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Hyper-Social Orgs – Leveraging Social Business Processes
• Successful Hyper-Social organizations turn their business processes into “social” processes– Why?
• Scale• Increased quality• Increased passion• Increased WOM
Turning a business process into a social process
• IS NOT:– Running traditional programs using social
media platforms – PR by blogging press releases, lead gen by spamming community members, recruiting through spray and pray over Twitter, etc.
• BUT IS:– Running programs based on human reciprocity
and social contracts to get others, whose job it isn’t to do so, to help you do your job – customer support with the help of all employees and customers, product innovation with customers and detractors, etc.
– TAPPING INTO PASSION, AND HUMAN 1.0 TRAITS

Cisco, Netflix
Lead generation Interrupt-driven Become findable, be generally helpful in public conversation
Leads that actually want to buy something
EMC, Dell

media
Community/tribe based and focused on
social media
Much more amplification of the
messages
Microsoft, Intuit
A CLOSER LOOK AT SOCIAL PRODUCT INNOVATION
Steeping the process in Human 1.0 principles
• In innovation you need to deal with a few more Human 1.0 traits– People like to hang out with people who are like
themselves, they do not have a natural tendency to diversify – yet diversity = key to success!
– People tend to react to things better than starting things – so directed innovation has to be part of the social process
– Avoid the second barrier to adoption – “why should I trust you?”
• You also need to deal with all the other Human 1.0 characteristics– Status/power (and hoarding of status), social
framework vs. market framework, etc.• Socializing the process requires recombination of
ideas
Do like IBM – get rid of the firewall while protecting IP
CIO’s
Product Idea
Business model tweak
PR
Customer support
Green Enthusiasts
IP
…increase knowledge flows…and competitiveness
IP
IP
Innovation
150,000 people from 104 countries logged on fortwo 72 hour “jam sessions”
10 new IBM business opportunities: $100m investment
$300 million in new revenues in first year
Example of a Product Innovation 2.0 Company
How it works:• Teams submit business plans that can be reviewed by community• It is the internal Cisco team who decides who moves up to next level• They started seeing self organized posses, and teams formed online
Results:• Crowdsourcing actionable innovations with large addressable marketshare
Key to success:• Accepting the social power of people in communities
HOW DO THEY GET GOING?
HYPER-SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
Many paths to success (and many paths to failure too)
• Assess Hyper-Social readiness (plan is to get benchmarking info on this from 2010 Tribalization of Business Study)
• Find the tribes and their leaders – internally and externally:– Who are they, what makes them tick, what is their
language, what is their shared symbolism, where do they hang out, etc.
• Start pilots that matter - and measure them the same way you would measure the impact of any other program
• Set up infrastructure to:– Measure cross-functional impact of programs– Scale the program to where it makes a difference
in business
Compared to other CMO’s I consider
myself lucky. Dell Hell put our brand under pressure and so to
engage in social media was actually a
question of survival….you cannot get into social media
by just putting a toe in the water - you are either all in and it
becomes part of your culture, or you’re not.Erin Nelson, CMO Dell

Further down the line
• Look at new measurements – e.g., customer equity measurements to better reflect impact of WOM
• Monitoring and understanding the behavior of active lurkers – the largest active member group of any community (32% of companies are starting to measure)
• Think of expanding your employee pool by encouraging more people to participate
• Recruit for a Hyper-Social future– Different talent– Different leadership
Smaller questions to ask yourself
• Are your marketing/employee programs reciprocal?• Would you send collateral to a friend of yours?• Do you know what 20% of your collateral gets used?• Are you recruiting for skill or behavior?• Are you ensuring diversity in the recruiting process?• Are you tapping in the social realm to recruit?• Is your KM extending to your customers?• Is your CRM customer-centric or account-centric?• Is it focused on transactions or relationships?• Is it focused on the past/present or the present/future?
