The ROI Is REAL:
The Measurable Success in the Social and Digital Solution
The numbers don’t lie.
Putting social and digital solutions into play can revolutionize your business and
we’ve got the stories and stats to prove it. In this SlideShare, we’ll demonstrate
how applying “people interactions” to business processes (what we like to call
the social and digital solution) can make your organization soar.
The Play: Enhanced Innovation
Innovation is a key factor in outperformance yet only 25 percent1
of
organizations are setting themselves apart. How? By collaborating
and communicating across innovations to save time, money and
gain consumer insights and momentum.
The Proof: Enhanced Innovation
-	 Global product launches in 1/3 of the time2
-	 $40 mil saved in manufacturing costs3

The Play: More Efficient
Recruitment and Onboarding
Gain and maintain the best talents in the business while keeping the
competitors at bay with quicker, more effective hiring and onboarding
activities supported by social technologies and tools.
The Proof: More Efficient
Recruitment and Onboarding
-	 Two-day reduction in onboarding time4
-	 30% faster new hire time-to-value5
The Play: Expanded Expertise
and Knowledge
By utilizing social networks, expertise and knowledge can travel at the
speed of now through seamless communication, sharing, and discovery.
The Proof: Expanded Expertise
and Knowledge
-	 30% faster access to experts6

environment to act as one company with a shared vision while improving
management activities.

and Acquisitions

improving engagement with customers and demand forecasting.
The Proof: Advanced Supply Chains
-	 Quicker reactions to supply chain disruptions
-	 More accurate demand forecasting
The Play: Improved Workplace
and Public Safety
Turn safety from a source liability into an asset. By adopting a social and digital
solution your organization can better connect safety experts, speed prevention
and emergency response, and better manage and predict risks.
