If we look back through history we will notice that companies started implementing intranets back in the 90\u2019s, static pages used to pass information \u201cfrom the top\u201d to employees. Over time, the concept evolved to an employee portal, with constant updates and personalized content. But, as stated by Cabanas, \u201cportals became something unbearable. They were more like the 1.0 Internet and a form of information dump where communication did not exist. My opinion is that portals with internal social media tools are the natural evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Basically, WHAT HAS CHANGED?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe change is that the employee that feeds the portal is the one who provides the information, modifies their own data, and translates organizational manuals and norms into everyday language while incorporating their own experience.<!--:--><!--:es--><strong>Parte \u00a0<\/strong>IV<\/p>\n<p>En pocas palabras, entonces es posible crear un Hi5 o MySpace interno para una empresa orientado al trabajo en equipo donde los empleados pueden generar perfiles con sus habilidades laborales, tiempo de labor en la empresa, proyectos en los cuales han participado y con esto tener un red social de negocios para compa\u00f1eros de trabajo, clientes o socios.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed es, y en la actualidad,\u00a0 IBM se coloca a la cabeza en la innovaci\u00f3n de software en el \u00e1rea de Social Networking Web 2.0. Si hacemos un poco de historia&#8230; Durante la d\u00e9cada de los 90, las empresas empezaron a implantar Intranets, p\u00e1ginas est\u00e1ticas para informar \u2018desde arriba\u2019 a los trabajadores. Con el tiempo, el concepto evolucion\u00f3 hasta el portal del empleado, con actualizaciones m\u00e1s constantes y personalizaci\u00f3n de contenidos. Pero, como afirma Cabanas, \u201clos portales se convert\u00edan en algo infumable. Eran m\u00e1s como la Internet 1.0, una especie de volcado de informaci\u00f3n en la que no hab\u00eda comunicaci\u00f3n. Los portales con herramientas de social media interno son la evoluci\u00f3n natural, desde mi punto de vista\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Pero&#8230;b\u00e1sicamente, \u00bfQU\u00c9 HA CAMBIADO?.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLo que ha cambiado es que es el empleado el que alimenta el portal, es el que aporta informaci\u00f3n, el que modifica sus propios datos, el que traduce a lenguaje cotidiano los manuales y normativas de la organizaci\u00f3n e incorpora su experiencia\u201d.<!--:--><!--more--><!--:en--><\/p>\n<p>Diego de Azcoita, Director of E-learning at Adeco Training, is even more blunt about it. \u201cIt is clear that the intranet is dead. Nowhere has it been considered that the information has to flow back and forth; feedback is necessary. To date, communication has only been from the top-down, and as it is happening with consumption and consumers, employees want to be part of the decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026 How can you cope with these changes and make them work for you?<\/p>\n<p>Tools directed at internal communication 2.0 are starting to grow in marketing.\u00a0 But, before choosing one, you must keep your needs and some implementation advice in mind.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS DOES THIS APPLY TO?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt basically depends on your needs and structure.\u201d Right now, explains Lee, \u201care main clients are small to medium businesses, that are geographically dispersed and exchange documents: advertising and marketing agencies, engineer and architecture firms, technical offices, etc.\u201d Even Teambox (another Spanish social software tool) suggests that creative agencies are using these tools as \u201cshared spaces with customers, where there is visibility of tasks and document sharing exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, I see that \u201c<strong><em>Communication does not belong to any department, but it is transverse. In the end, it is a joint effort that is shared by the whole world<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. However, it is true that the push must come from a specific area, whether it is the department of Human Resource, Communication or top management. To make a smooth transition, keep the following steps in mind:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look for an informal leader.<\/strong> All consulting experts agree that: users that are already used to social networks must pull the rest. \u201cThey are called spontaneous Community Managers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design your plan.<\/strong> Obviously, a technology-consulting firm will not be the same design as a transportation company, but it is important to establish a course in order to get employees used to the tool. \u201cIt does not have to become a nightmare where, all of a sudden, the whole team is bombarded with indigestible information. The process must be well designed and will depend on how familiar employees are, the type of organization\u2026 There are companies that undertake genuine internal marketing programs, where they involve people as if it where an internal sales campaign. It is a process that has to be \u201cvery educational\u201d above everything else.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<!--:--><!--:es--><\/p>\n<p>Diego de Azcoita, director de e-learning de Adecco Training, se muestra incluso m\u00e1s tajante. \u201cLo que est\u00e1 claro es que la Intranet ha muerto. En ninguna se ha tenido en cuenta que la informaci\u00f3n tiene que ser de ida y vuelta, que tiene que haber feedback. Hasta la fecha son s\u00f3lo veh\u00edculos de comunicaci\u00f3n de arriba abajo, y, como est\u00e1 pasando con el consumo y los consumidores, los empleados quieren ser tambi\u00e9n parte de las decisiones\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Y&#8230; \u00bfC\u00f3mo hacer frente a estos cambios y ponerlos a tu favor?<\/p>\n<p>En el mercado empiezan a proliferar herramientas dirigidas a la comunicaci\u00f3n interna 2.0. Pero, antes de elegir una, deber\u00e1s tener en cuenta tus necesidades y algunos consejos de implantaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfPARA QU\u00c9 TIPO DE EMPRESAS?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cB\u00e1sicamente, depende un poco de tus necesidades y de tu estructura\u201d. De momento, seg\u00fan explica Lee, \u201cnuestros clientes principales son empresas de tama\u00f1o peque\u00f1o-medio, geogr\u00e1ficamente dispersas y que intercambian documentos: agencias de publicidad y marketing, ingenier\u00edas y estudios de arquitecturas, oficinas t\u00e9cnicas, etc.\u201d Incluso, desde Teambox (otra de las herramientas de software social espa\u00f1ola), indican que las agencias creativas est\u00e1n utilizando estas herramientas como \u201cespacios compartidos con el cliente, donde tener visibilidad de tareas y compartir documentos\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Entonces, como conclusi\u00f3n, veo que <strong><em>\u201cLa comunicaci\u00f3n no pertenece a ning\u00fan departamento, sino que es transversal. Al final, es un esfuerzo compartido de todo el mundo\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed es. Sin embargo, s\u00ed es cierto que el impulso debe provenir de alg\u00fan \u00e1rea, ya sea el departamento de Recursos Humanos, el de Comunicaci\u00f3n o la propia Direcci\u00f3n. Para hacer la transici\u00f3n llevadera, ten en cuenta estos pasos:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Busca un l\u00edder informal<\/strong>. Todos los expertos consultados coinciden: los usuarios que ya est\u00e1n acostumbrados a usar redes sociales tienen que tirar del resto. \u201cSon los llamados Community Managers espont\u00e1neos\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dise\u00f1a tu plan<\/strong>. Evidentemente, no ser\u00e1 el mismo en una consultora tecnol\u00f3gica que en una empresa de transportes, pero es importante establecer un camino para asentar la herramienta entre los empleados. \u201cNo se tiene que convertir en una pesadilla en la que de repente el equipo, vea toneladas de informaci\u00f3n indigeribles. Hay que dise\u00f1ar bien el proceso, dependiendo de lo familiarizados que est\u00e9n los empleados, del tipo de organizaci\u00f3n&#8230; Hay empresas que hacen aut\u00e9nticos programas de marketing interno, donde involucran a la gente como si fuera una campa\u00f1a de venta interna. Es un proceso de construcci\u00f3n que debe ser \u00abmuy did\u00e1ctico\u201d, por sobre todo.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In short, it is possible to create an internal Hi5 or MySpace, for teamwork oriented businesses, where employees can create profiles with their job skills, time of employment with the company, projects in which they have participated, and have a business social network for co-workers, customers or partners.
