Making The Case For Enterprise Social Networks

Why is it that so many organisations still struggle to (a) understand what an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) is and (b) how it might benefit their business.

Our cognitive powers in making sense of it, finding the signal within the noise, have never been more challenged. Some people talk of information anywhere, anytime, but in fact, isn’t it more a case of information everywhere all the time?…
