KIRKLAND, Wash. (April 26, 2010)
- Ethan Yarbrough, president and co-founder of Allyis, Inc. and
Ken Efta, co-founder and principal consultant and solutions architect, Allyis, Inc. are presenting at the Innotech NW CIO Summit in Portland, Ore. May 6. They will speak to executive level IT professionals about how to dismantle societies of strangers at work by
integrating social technologies to increase collaboration and nurture an
Enterprise 2.0 culture.
Employees are using social media and collaborative tools in their personal lives and expect them to be available and utilized in their job. Yarbrough and Efta will discuss how, while some companies are still debating the value of social media and whether they'll allow employees to use social technologies on the job, others are plowing ahead, using social networking and internal social computing practices to their competitive advantage. They'll show how those companies are sharing knowledge, engaging employees, inspiring innovation, recruiting top talent and seeing increased business opportunities as a result of social computing strategies.
Efta will show how, through organizational design and social technographics, IT leaders can design business strategies, intranets, portals, blogs and wikis that capitalize on their organization's culture and nurture Enterprise 2.0 adoption. Attendees will learn how to dismantle "societies of strangers" at work, uncover knowledge and build relationships that engage employees and lead to measurable ROI as organizational knowledge expands and surfaces.
Yarbrough and Efta will provide valuable case studies and specific steps that can be taken immediately to integrate and deploy social tools.

KIRKLAND, Wash. (April 13, 2010)
- Ethan Yarbrough, president and co-founder of Allyis, Inc. is on the faculty of the NewComm Forum 2010, hosted by the Society for New Communications Research, taking place in San Mateo, Calif. April 20-23, 2010. Yarbrough will present on "Social Media as a Collaborative Technology Inside & Outside the Firewall" on April 22 at 3:15 p.m.
A new generation of employees is entering the workforce, social computing/2.0 technologies are being adopted in business, employees are demanding more flexible work environments and corporate data is growing. Issues around knowledge extracting and sharing, collaboration across geographically dispersed workforces and employee engagement will likely become more intense as organizations face greater employee demographic differences and generational attitudes toward technology. Yarbrough will show how next generation collaborative practices and technology can solve many of these issues.
Attendees will learn how to develop a culture of collaboration, supported by technology, that can solve traditional HR and IT issues, retain and inspire a multigenerational workforce, and connect employees to each other and the organization as a whole.
Yarbrough will discuss how to design and implement workplace technology solutions and business cultures to help organizations operate safely and effectively within the context of a rapidly evolving business environment-what many are calling the next generation workplace.
