Case Studies: Cost & Value of Community

aeilim Jan 23, 2012 6:08 AM

I'm looking to get some more insight on the value of a community. Other than being "socially engaged" and "stickiness" what rough estimates are available around cost savings?

I know each community is unique, just wanted to see if there's anything out there standardized.

I have seen statistics from McKinsey that show 10-15% reduction in communication costs and 10% decrease in operational costs.You might want to check www.Dachis Group — Social Business, Brand Engagement, Powerful Insights, they share a lot of useful statistics publicly.

  Worth looking at the Jive 2010/11 Customer Survey
  
  Ryan Rutan this (my copy as a partner) is still marked company confidential - can it be public now?
  
  2011 - Jive Customer Survey Data
  
  I'll give the users above private access to it in the meantime.

        Thanks - Deirdre or Ryan can you either move my doc or upload a new copy into Social Business as I don't have upload rights.
        
        My copy says 'Jive Confidential' (from partner area) so you might want to take that off.

        Haven't forgotten on this one. We are fine with sharing the data, but we believe there is a better visualization that we can share. We are looking for it now....appreciate the patience. =)

Apparently, the better visualization of the data is a white paper that is already on our site, I just need to learn how to ask better questions. =)
