How Companies Can Incorporate Social Media to Engage Employees and Promote Innovation, and Increase Productivity
 

Event Sponsor:

Event Speaker: Ethan Yarbrough, President and Co-Founder, Allyis

Workers today expect to share content and collaborate in the workplace in a very social and productive manner. Employees expect the infrastructure to be in place that allows them to do so. Learn how to put the tools in place so employees can share information in a safe, productive way without using their Blackberries and iPhones to get around the corporate firewall.

Ethan is president and co-founder of Kirkland, Wash. based Allyis, Inc., a consultancy focused on the development and adoption of 2.0 technologies and practices within the Enterprise. As president, Ethan provides strategic oversight to the organization and his firm is at the forefront of the broader Enterprise 2.0 conversation. His dialogue can be viewed via his blog (http://blog.allyis.com/) and tweets (http://twitter.com/Ethany) and heard at various speaking engagements. Ethan is dedicated to helping the enterprise use collaborative and social technologies inside the firewall to improve employee morale and retention and enhance knowledge management, collaboration and innovation for the enterprise.
