Last Friday, Steve Wylie, General Manager of the Enterprise 2.0 Conference, let me know that myself and Miles Appel, Executive Director, Intranet Web Capabilities, ISG, Kaiser Permanente, will be speaking at the conference in San Francisco in November. I’m thrilled to pieces!

Here’s what we’ll be sharing at 4:15pm on Tuesday, November 3:

Making Health Care Providers Social: Kaiser Permanente’s Enterprise 2.0 Adoption
Kaiser Permanente’s success as a premier health care organization depends on connecting approximately 200,000 physicians, nurses, employees, and contractors to promote collaboration, the sharing of best practices, and overall continuous improvement. KP IdeaBook is a socio-collaborative environment that helps make this happen. Learn how we’re rolling out KP IdeaBook in a way that creates excitement and sustained adoption, while balancing the risk of introducing an open environment in a regulated industry and a traditional culture. We will also share how our Enterprise 2.0 vendor is helping us to develop adoption strategies.

Jive Software has been working with Miles and his team since January 2009 to plan a full launch of KP IdeaBook, an implementation of Jive Social Business Software for Kaiser Permanente employees. The organic adoption KP IdeaBook has experienced to-date helped to inform what I can only call the “Go To Market” (GTM) strategies that Kaiser Permanente and Jive have crafted to eventually bring IdeaBook to the approximately 200,000 individuals that provide health care to millions of members.

So, be prepared to learn, because we plan to go deep into the planning required to undertake such an adventure within a regulated industry and a traditional culture. We’ll also give you an idea of what you should expect from your social software vendor beyond technical configurations and customizations, and generic whitepapers about adoption tactics (and yes, I know Jive has those whitepapers, too. Rest assured, we back them up with reality.)

See you in November!
