Chapter 1. What Is Social Collaboration?
Abstract
Over the centuries, there have been different patterns observed in the way human beings do work. In ancient days, humans worked individually to sustain their families; for example, hunting prey for their own families. Later, this changed, and people living in same area started working together toward one goal and sharing benefits equally; for example, cattle breeding, farming, and other tasks where collaboration was necessary for business growth. People started hiring others to execute their work, paying them wages or a salary. This way of working lead to the development of companies or small-scale factories.

Chapter 2. The Art of Community Management
Abstract
In this chapter, we will learn the art of community management and some guiding principles. Also, this chapter will help you become a successful community manager so you can inspire others to follow in your footsteps. In reality, a community manager is neither a leader of a community nor a sponsor of the community. A community manager is a person who knows the business goals very well and, to achieve them, drives different user engagement.

Chapter 3. Ways to Keep Your Network Engaged
Abstract
Building on your new knowledge of social collaboration and community management gained from the previous two chapters, we will now aim to learn about various ideas and tools that can be used by community managers to create engagement in their Yammer communities. In the beginning, we will examine the vital difference between community-based and hierarchical ways of working and reveal that the community-based way is the better way to create user engagement.

Chapter 5. How Can an Organization Remain Engaged on Yammer?
Abstract
Yammer is a platform designed to be used at the organizational level, and therefore it is necessary to have an organization-wide vision and engagement plan for Yammer. Without this, it will be difficult to manage the Yammer network, and users will take Yammer for granted without getting seriously involved in its implementation. In this chapter, we will learn how an organization can remain engaged on Yammer by defining a vision, developing guidelines on how departments can use Yammer, and creating a Yammer steering committee, with its responsibility being to improve Yammer adoption.

Chapter 6. Measure the Success of Your Yammer Network
Abstract
Now that you have learned the techniques of user engagement, it is time to think about how successful they are by measuring them with some tangible parameters. In the past, we never tried measuring the business value of systems such as intranet and email, but we require them on a daily basis to support our business. In this chapter, we will explore the ways in which we can demonstrate the business value of Yammer and measure user engagement.

Chapter 7. Integrate Yammer with Existing Platforms
Abstract
So far, we have explored how to engage via Yammer in different ways, such as YamJam and YamChat; how to execute campaigns on Yammer; and how to host company-wide events on Yammer. In this chapter, we are going to see how to integrate Yammer with existing internal applications so that collaboration can take place between both systems and users.

Chapter 8. Digital Transformation with Yammer
Abstract
Now that we have acquired knowledge on how to integrate Yammer into existing organizational platforms, the time has come to use Yammer to transform an organization digitally. In this chapter, we will learn how to make the best use of Yammer to digitally transform an organization. When we hear digital transformation, our mind leaps to words such as automation, DevOps, digital customer experience, mobile apps, big data, and Internet of Things (IoT). There are also digital transformation courses offered by various management schools. Today, organizations are seriously focused on using digital technologies to become digitally transformed organizations so as to provide an excellent digital experience to the customer.

The purpose of this chapter is to explain how, by using Yammer features such as Yammer external networks and Yammer external groups, external collaboration with users such as clients, partners, and suppliers can be achieved for the benefit of your business.

Chapter 10. Next-Generation Yammer
Abstract
We have come to the last chapter of this book, where I would like to express my thoughts and vision of how Yammer can be used most effectively by future users, who will be Generation Y users. I would like to thank each Yammer user for coming on this journey with me. After spending over 2,555 days with Yammer (i.e., seven years), I wish to convey my thoughts so as to give readers an idea of the potential Yammer has both today and in the future. This chapter will cover several innovative and interesting ideas that will make Yammer an eternal multi-purpose platform.
