Social Collaboration Maturity

- Benchmark Report -

Social platforms with low levels of maturity fail over time. 
Understanding your social platforms’ maturity can help you identify ways to improve 
organisational communication, collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing. 

In late 2019, OrangeTrail and Knowman launched the Social Collaboration Maturity Scan to assess organisations’ maturity when it comes to their use of enterprise social platforms. 

 

34 organisations from 13 countries have performed the scan. 
Together they represent more than 1.5 million employees.  

In the report you will find: 

  • a summary of the Scan results 

  • an analysis of those results and what they mean for organisations 

  • general recommendations for organisations to progress to higher stages of maturity.

Frequently asked questions

Who authored this survey and the model behind it?

The Social Collaboration Maturity Model (SCMM) was created by OrangeTrail based on many years of experience, working with organisations to increase the value they extract from using enterprise social platforms. The Scan was created in partnership by Knowman and OrangeTrail, in what became an amazing exercise of systematising and making explicit the thinking behind the Model. OrangeTrail helps organisations leverage technology to improve employee engagement, make the company smarter and faster, and to accelerate organisational learning. Knowman is a consultancy company specialised in designing and implementing strategies, plans and activities to improve collaboration, knowledge sharing and retention, and organisational learning.



How is this survey different from so many others out there?

Four main reasons: 1. The survey is based on a tried and tested model built on many years of experience (the Social Collaboration Maturity Model). 2. The survey’s only focus is on how organisations use their digital platforms to derive business value – platforms and their features do not have any impact on how well your organisation uses them. 3. The survey accepts that reality is rarely black or white. As such, it allows for many shades of gray ;) 4. Organisations receive a free personalised 14-page report. It details the organisation’s social collaboration maturity stage and offers recommendations to progress towards more mature stages of use and, therefore, get more value from its enterprise social platforms.



Who will have access to my contact details and where will they be stored?

1. Data will only be visible to OrangeTrail and Knowman.
2. The data is stored on MailChimp and Microsoft SharePoint. On request we will remove reference to person or company from our records.



I have other questions or concerns. What can I do?

Please get in touch. Find our contact information below.



Can you perform a more detailed scan at my organisation?

Yes! Actually this Maturity Scan is a condensed version of a much more detailed diagnosis we have done for some of our clients.

Please check the table above for the Intermediate and Comprehensive Scans we can do at your organisation
