Why enterprise social networks fail

Enterprise social networks hold much promise, but keeping them work relevant and noise free is hard. Most implementations fail for these reasons:

• Poor rollout strategies
• Platform requires tech-savvy users
• Cluttered social streams
• Poorly managed social groups
• Viral, not-work-relevant streams
• Poor fit to culture or management style
• Content inadvertently exposed outside org
• Part of big, complex software suites
• Poor engagement (low participation)
