I find EY’s move here interesting, but I don’t expect other companies to follow suit en mass – particularly enterprise-wide. A centralised Organisational Development function can focus on enterprise-wide capability needs, while L&D professionals embedded in the business can address local capability needs.

The point of an enterprise-wide microblog is that it generates value. It also shows your boss that you have a brain and you’re not afraid to use it. Thou shalt answer questions like an angel. If you don’t know the answer to one of our questions, refer it to someone who does. Revelation.

Badges therefore give corporates the opportunity to recognise the employees who have completed their in-house training, within an enterprise-wide framework. They’re shiny and colourful, the employee can collect them in their online backpack, and they can be shown off via a plugin on a website or blog – or intranet profile.

Our enterprise social network was deluged with positive comments, ranging from wishes of congratulations to urges to post it onto YouTube. Attendant: Greg…? Customer: Greg’s not here. It’s cheeky; it’s self-deprecating; and above all, it’s funny. And it set the organisation alight.

I’ve seen peers resist enterprise social media because they don’t like Twitter and Facebook. Typically the root cause is a company-centric model that can’t be bothered inconveniencing itself on behalf of its own corporate values. Of course, as dedicated professionals, we have to be careful not to fall into the same trap.
