09:45 - 10:45 Session 1: Delivering Enterprise Value from Social Computing

The value of social computing lies not in its technology but in its support of the interactions that occur in social systems. Leading CIOs have concentrated their social computing efforts on human interactions, and are driving enterprise value by exploiting four styles of social systems. This focus on human behavior represents unfamiliar and challenging territory for most CIOs and IT executives.

Key Issues:
· What are the concepts, challenges and opportunities surrounding social computing in the enterprise?
· Which factors, outcomes and benefits distinguish the four styles of social systems?
· What are the key roles and responsibilities of CIOs and IT leaders in enabling and enriching social computing and social systems?
10:45 - 11:15 Coffee Break
11:15 – 12:15 Session 2: Developing A Roadmap for Social Computing

Our workshop will introduce Gartner’s toolkit for assessing the current state, opportunities and decisions needed to define your social computing objectives and plans. This is an interactive workshop where we will discuss the details of Gartner’s tools, invite you and other participants to share your experiences with social computing, and practice using our tools. Our learning goal is for you to be able to take these tools back to your organization and use them with your IT team and business leaders to develop a social computing roadmap.

Key Issues:
· Assess where to start or proceed with social computing in your organization.
· Assess the styles of social systems in place or required by your organization.
· Assess your capabilities and effectiveness in social computing; determine who else must be involved to succeed.
