Do you have or are you thinking of introducing Yammer into your organisation? Do you know how to use it, how do other people use Yammer for internal communication and are there any tips and best practice around?
Queries about using Yammer as an option for an enterprise social network is one of the most popular ways people reach my blog.
Welcome if that’s you!
I thought I’d collate the information that I’ve published to date in one place so if you are looking into how to use Yammer, you have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips.
Using something else? I’ve collated 243 examples (and growing!) of what companies are using for their enterprise social networks/ internal social media/ collaboration.
Call it what you will, there is a lot to choose from including Chatter, Jive, Lync, SharePoint, Interact and many more.
To find out more and view the examples, check out my round-up of case studies.
Come across one that’s not on the list? Do Tweet me @AllthingsIC or comment below to point me towards the link to include.
It’s a constant mission to keep these links updated, do let me know if there’s a broken link.

Hearing about it first hand
In September 2012 I chaired a session at the annual Internal Communication conference from CIPR Inside, the sector group for IC pros from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
During that session, Linda Mortimer from Gatwick Airport shared their story of how they have been using Yammer. You can see the whole programme here.
First published 16 July 2013.
[…] CEO about Yammer, it’s a safe bet that you will in the next 12 months. With that in mind, this post by Rachel Miller (the Stephen Fry of the Internal Comms world) is possibly the most valuable page […]
Hi Rachel, thanks for your great list of case studies, I have recorded some interviews with companies in Germany using Yammer – even if they are in German it might be worth adding them to your list http://sharepointsocial.de/category/sj/
Best Regards
Michael
Thanks very much Michael, I’ll do that, Rachel
Hi Rachel,
I’d love to access the case studies however, most of them appear to link to a website that’s now offline. Any chance of updating the links?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Jaz, never-ending mission to keep it updated as links keep being moved. Thanks for the note, I’ve had a look and revised some that were broken. Do shout if any are still invalid.
