Input from external sourcesis a key ingredient of any effective knowledge work.Information sharing is thebasis for serendipity.
The user group is drawn on for ad-hoc crowdsourcingof ideas. These online brainstorming sessions allow users to express ideas freely.
Users draw on the dispersedexpertise of the user group.Problems are solved andaccess to resources and experts is facilitated.
A shared background is thebasis for all knowledge workto happen. People get to know each other and build ashared context & awareness.

DR KAI RIEMERMANAGING THE ESN ADOPTION PROCESS
• Coaching: ‘Nudge’ people in the right direction• Mentoring: Reverse Mentoring to ‘onboard’ older employees.
• Promoting: People who take ownership of the initiative (e.g. “Yambassadors”)
• Use Case Development: Use cases need to be developed in context
• Policy-making: Simple, but crystal clear policies about what is appropriate and what not (to reduce barriers to engagement)
• Management buy-in: Legitimise ESN through management participation
• Community management: Dedicated community managers look after the social networking space
• Cultivation: “Leadership in use” by setting positive examples
