“Concerns around use of social media in organizations might have been

organization reaping high dividends through collaborations, innovation
and organization-wide learning…”

20. Reflect on these…
With millennials and GenY joining work-force, social learning technologies
to gain momentum- embrace change!
Social learning plays catalyst for enterprise-wide collaboration, innovation
and promote organizational learning- Facilitate!
Employees in India and China view social tools to impact productivity
greatly- leverage them!
‘System’ will deal with and mitigate the ‘concerns’ involving social tools at
workplace- educate not regulate!
Learning leaders should build conversation, educate leaders and
showcase early gains for getting executives on board- engage!
