Trusted Social Networks
An online social network that is made up of people you know and trust can bring a number of critical benefits to the organization:
- Make visible the relationships that exist within your organization to support your team's efforts to seek internal expertise
- Leverage all employees' contacts by giving your employees a way to find out who in the company might know an individual at a potential client or partner firm
- Encourage employees to share more about themselves. By acknowledging and supporting an employee's privacy concerns, a trusted social network allows and encourages employees to share more about themselves (and their expertises) to first order connections within your organization.
Relationships matter, and a well-connected and networked organization is more powerful than a fragmented collection of people. Give your team the ability to discover which staffers have expertise for particular projects or initiatives. Trusted social networks also allow for sharing connections to potential client or partner firms, so that colleagues can benefit from existing relationships in the industry. Traditional methods for identifying colleagues who have a relationship with a target company are very slow and unreliable. GoLightly gives you tools to accelerate this process, and empower your staff to leverage each other's social network.
While offering the power of public social networks (like LinkedIn for example), private, trusted social networks remain under the control of your organization. This solution is particularly valuable for professional service firms in sectors including law, management consulting, accounting, architecture, and engineering design.
