Its aim is to transform towards a social, collaborative enterprise where we share knowledge and find experts easily in order to respond to clients’ needs quickly and efficiently, delivering tangible business results. First and foremost this requires a cultural change, learning new behaviors and management styles. Whereas most enterprise social initiatives actually add to the overall number of messages employees have to check on during the day, our Zero emailTM concept is powerful because it focuses on reducing the overall messaging load. So far it has saved 25% of work time previously spent on email and reduced disruptions and email overload by 60% — down from from an average of 100 internal emails per employee per week to 40. Furthermore a certification process has resulted in 220 business processes being redesigned to become “email free”.
