Recently, we came across an interesting presentation at the American Society of Training and Development’s Annual Conference, In this presentation were some great examples of what companies like IBM and EMC are doing with innovative social technologies.
 At IBM, they have completely embraced using new social media, with:
- 5,000 podcasts
- 3,400 blogs
- 70,000 people using wikis
- 2,000,000 podcast downloads
They estimate their annual savings to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

EMC has adopted podcasting as the way to train their global sales force and customers. At EMC, they produce 5 – 10 new audio / video podcasts every week. Many are extremely entertaining. To see more , click here.
 James Hunsiker, Manager of Sales at EMC says ” I’ve never seen the field organization so enthusiastic about learning.”
