Watch Adam Brown at Social Connections VI: ‘Make your Connections Activities Rock!!! introducing Kudos Boards for IBM Connections’

News community, connections, event, ibmcnx, ics, isw, kudos, kudosbadges, prague, soccnx, vi, video by Wannes Rams

For the first time at Social Connections VI, we recorded every single session in glorious HD video – opening and closing sessions, keynotes, breakouts and even our ‘Pardon the Interruption’ panel. This was a huge (and expensive) undertaking but one that we think will be massively valuable in terms of increasing the volume of IBM Connections information and education available to the community.

Next to be highlighted is a session from our Sponsors track delivered by Adam Brown. Adam is Senior Executive Director at ISW, one of the largest IBM business partners in Australia and developers of the award-winning Kudos portfolio of add-on solutions for IBM Connections.

His session brief was as follows:

We love Activities in Connections. They are awesome! Working together on projects and leveraging Social Tools is a very powerful way of working. However some Activities can get BIG and sometimes users need to look at their tasks or organise the Activity slightly differently. Sometimes users don’t need to see everything that is going on but just one part. Sometimes it would be easier if Activities was more VISUAL!
Come and see the awesomeness of Kudos Boards for IBM Connections! Imagine a visual way of viewing and managing your Connections Activities. Personalized, Visual, Productive, FAST – Kudos Boards has been designed to do this and a whole lot more, all seamlessly integrated into the IBM Connections interface. If you think that Kudos Badges was designed well, then Kudos Boards will rock your socks 🙂

Here’s the session – it’s in full HD and runs for 20 minutes, so make it full screen and enjoy!

Make your Connections Activities Rock!!! introducing Kudos Boards for IBM Connections, Adam Brown from the Social Connections VI channel, by Social Connections.

All the main tent sessions from the first day of Social Connections VI are now available on the event channel, and the remainder of the sessions will be published over the next few weeks (that’s the downside of HD-quality recordings – they take a while to upload!).

Sponsor Highlight: Kudos Badges

News isw, prague, soccnx, socialconnections, sponsors by Wannes Rams

During the lead up to the Social Connections VI event in Prague in June, the team will be highlighting each of our valued sponsors in turn. We are delighted to have their support – without it we really couldn’t deliver this event and offer the completely no-fee attendance that we do.

So first out of the blocks, we have the Gold-level sponsor that is travelling over 10,000 miles from Australia to be at the event…

Kudos Suite for IBM Connections by ISW

The Kudos Suite is designed to encourage IBM Connections users to leverage the full benefits of a social enterprise. Kudos rewards user adoption, measures performance and increases productivity.

Kudos can transform and accelerate organisations usage of IBM Connections by encouraging users to leverage the full capability of social enterprise as well as increasing their productivity thru clever design.

Kudos Badges for IBM Connections is a flexible gamification engine for IBM Connections. By providing achievements and rewards (Kudos Badges), rank and leaderboards (Kudos Rank), simple next steps (Kudos Progress), and missions (Kudos Missions), organisations can dramatically improve their user engagement and adoption of IBM Connections.

Kudos Awards & Kudos Thanks have been designed to enable Social Recognition of great work amongst your employees and customers. Creating a positive culture is essential in todays workplace. When employees are recognised for their achievements it can have the effect of multiplying the positive benefits of the work they have performed across the organisation.

Kudos Analytics is a light weight analytics and reporting tool focused on enabling organisations to understand what your usage patterns are. Analytics provide insight into active Connections usage, utilisation, and which features are being leveraged well or not. Providing insights for Administrator, Community Managers, and Personal Analytics, Kudos enables organisations to optimise and target adoption strategies to the areas that need extra attention.

Kudos Boards transforms Activities within IBM Connections into a visually manageable format. Leveraging the tried and true method known as Kanban, Kudos Boards features the ability to filter by person, priority or colour, and drag and drop your Tasks as activities progress or circumstances change.

The Kudos Badges solution has won IBM awards, and is a really popular ‘reward and recognition’ solution for IBM Connections. As ISW broaden the Kudos portfolio to include analytics and task management solutions, the Social Connections team are delighted to again welcome Adam Brown and the ISW team to the event.
