What makes your business a top business? According to a
new report from the IBM Institute for Business Value, it could be how
well your company implements social business.
In "The Business of Social Business," authors James Cortada, Eric Lesser and Peter Korsten argue that social is no longer "simply a 'sandbox' for the under-30 generation." Merely developing and deploying the technology isn't enough.
"[...] Companies at the forefront are doing more than developing a presence on major platforms. They are taking their external social tools and embedding them into core business processes and capabilities. They are using social approaches not only to communicate better with their suppliers, business partners and, perhaps, most important, their employees."
IBM's study of more than 1,100 businesses around the globe
reveals that investment in social business is on the rise: Forty-six
percent of the companies surveyed increased their investments in social
business in 2012, and 62 percent indicated they are going to increase
their expenditures in the next three years.
The sudden rise of social business is challenging the corporate culture at some companies, which respondents indicate is something they're struggling with: Nearly three-quarters report they were underprepared for the required cultural changes.
"Executives are concerned because social business represents a different way of thinking about employees, customers and how work is accomplished, as well as the potential risks of increased organizational openness and transparency," the report says.

1. Consider how to incorporate social metrics into traditional enterprises and processes. According to the report, only about 20 percent of organizations are able to define key performance indicators and track the ROI of social business efforts. Those that couldn't do so struggled with their social initiative.
But quantifying results based only on cost-savings isn't sufficient, the report finds. Instead, businesses should consider piloting a project to demonstrate the hard and soft benefits of a social initiative and compare it to the performance of individuals not using the social tool.
