Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., a regional grocery chain of nearly 500 stores based in the Southeast United States and headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., rolled out a new strategic frame work called the WINN-ing Way in mid-2011. Through this the company introduced a new company vision and new set of values and promises to key stakeholders. Communication to and feedback from the chain’s 46,000 team members, most in stores scattered across five states, was critical to the campaign’s success.
Winn-Dixie partnered with Elguji Software to establish an online forum to allow team members across the company to come together in a LIVE online discussion to exchange ideas and give feedback on the WINN-ing Way.
...
Team member response was very positive. “IdeaJam is one the BEST things I have ever taken part of in my 25 year career with Winn-Dixie!” one Team Member commented. “I am very excited about Winn-Dixie’s future, and proud to be part of it and am ‘In it to Winn It!’ THANK YOU!”
...
Winn-Dixie’s leadership has already implemented several of the ideas received and many of the others have been turned into active projects and initiatives.
Social in Business: Back to the Future
Tue, Apr 3rd 2012 9:14a Bruce Elgort In this next installment of Social in Business we focus on Technology.
Instead of listing off social business tools and adding color commentary I felt this topic is a good opportunity to talk about the “technology” of Social Technology. Ok, to be a little less pedantic, my main point is that there are many tools that fall into the social technology category and what they service is most important to knowing which tools to deploy in the business. You've heard me preach about not [read] Keywords: collaboration

Wed, Mar 14th 2012 11:52a Karen Hobert In this next installment of Social in Business we focus on Strategy.
Hopefully the thesis of this post shouldn’t knock your socks off; in a nutshell, businesses need a social software strategy in order for the social in business to be successful at the firm.
Want to reach the holy grail of an e-mail free working environment? In reality what you’ll likely find, especially if you do the strategy legwork, is that the goal is not getting rid of e-mail. Rather, the goal is to [read] Keywords: collaboration

Social in Business: Build it and they will come (?)
Tue, Feb 28th 2012 5:49p Karen Hobert This is the second post in the Top Dog/Elguji Social in Business blog series. The first post was entitled "Social in Business: What we are talking about". Today we focus on people.
Social - tending or form cooperative and interdependent relationships with others.1
By its very nature, the term social implies people. I particularly like this definition of “social” since it is open-ended enough to us to consider “others” as either people or information. After all [read] Keywords: collaboration
