A Collaboration Consultancy

Building active communities of great people

social8 is a management consultancy specialising in the application of collaborative tools and techniques to deliver optimisation, innovation and business transformation.

Through our network of practitioners, technologists, designers and change professionals, we bring effective communication, process and enabling technologies into the heart of your organisation - helping you to improve day to day working practices and increase productivity.

Enterprise 2.0 in action

Enterprise 2.0 revolutionises communication and information workflows. Application of collaborative tools, blogs, and rss feeds are enabling organisations to harness the power of mass collaboration.

Socially, the rise of Web 2.0 websites illustrated by Facebook, MySpace and Wikipedia demonstrate the power of many-to-many conversations and consumer-led demand. Large groups of people are building networks to reconnect with old friends, organise events, create newsworthy content and change the world.

At an enterprise level, smart organisations are implementing secure collaborative platforms with Web 2.0 features to address a wide range of current business challenges including cost optimisation, talent management, employee engagement, innovation and knowledge sharing.

Ensuring your success

We work with you to understand the particular challenges in your organisation that could be helped by collaborative technologies. Through our unique consultative process featuring group workshops and Brian Mayne’s Goal Mapping system we help you stay focussed on individual, team and organisational goal setting - keeping your projects On Purpose.

We can support your analysis and advise you on suitable technology selections to meet your needs. Regardless of the technology you ultimately select, we help you to ensure that your top priority is to understand your people and the key behaviours needed to get results. We believe this is the key to the successful and sustainable deployment of social computing systems. We can support your implementation, roll-out, education and awareness programmes - ensuring your continued success.
