Metcalfe’s Law on the value of
networks
n(n-1) ____

where n = number of “nodes” (read
people)
(proportional to n2 asymptotically)
2 nodes = 1 potential connection
5 nodes = 10 potential connections
12 nodes = 66 potential connections

Informal Learning - Business ValueEnvironments that encompass social and informal capabilities can deliver both more efficient and more effective learning with
improved impacts on the businessBenefits:
Reduce training costs by leveraging employees to produce and deliver personalized learning content that is both relevant and timely.
Improve return-on-learning investment by compressing the time to competence needed by business-critical workforces
Create a more nimble workforce, capable of responding faster to marketplace and customer change
Content is rated and filtered through those who know best - the users, it is more likely to produce successful results
Time to competence is significantly improved as learning experiences are tailored to employees' needs
Learners are driven by personal needs and interests, resulting in much higher knowledge retention and transfer rates
Enterprise, Business and user generated content can be found at the point of need
Model is applicable for growth and major markets

Case 3: Social onboarding Connecting pre-arrival via “Soon 2 B Blue”
Introductions are warm, encouraging, and many people are welcoming others
Discussion forums are started based on location and start date
People who are moving are reassured by others
My name is Ilya Tulei, recent graduate from Georgia Tech. I'm currently in Atlanta, but will be living in Raleigh for six months starting in September (this will be my training period). My first assignment after Raleigh will be in Chicago in Technical Sales. I'm really excited about the opportunity! I came on board because I like IBM's direction and was instantly drawn to the caliber of people that I met.
Hi Jason,
My name is Ben, and it looks like I'll be working with you in Victoria.
I'm a student at UBC, in Vancouver, Canada, and I will be working at IBM Victoria doing QA as well. This is my first co-op work term, so i'm pretty excited to start work. I'm studying computer science as a second degree, having completed a degree in psychology at the University of Victoria.
See you next week!
Hi Folks,
My name is Liu Dekuan, I was a technical manager in DataDirect Networks Inc. (DDN) Beijing Office., I am living in Beijing. And I will be an Assoc Architect with IBM (China) Company Limited Beijing Branch in September. It is very excited to join the blue family. I need to give my work to other people in DDN before came on board.
Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself . : )
… as I get closer to my starting date, I am very impressed with the way that IBM
handles the on-boarding process and all the information that they send out to new employees even before they start. I am
really starting to feel as though I am part of the team now.
