3 Examples of Custom UI for Better Engagement – Enterprise Collaboration

Posted by David Lee on February 1st, 2010

First of all, I need to apologize for the delay on the PDF files I have promised. My excuse is that I first created this file for the online view purpose and I wanted to provide a format that looks good in prints. So here is the link to the user interaction diagram I have promised earlier. I hope this document can help you to do grow your internal community and use it to catalyze the adoption within your company.

Some of you have asked me what I do at FGSQUARED. I am currently involved in several community development projects as a user experience designer. I often create wireframes, prototypes, and come up with intuitive interaction design solutions for the users and the community. Lately I have worked in enterprise collaboration environment where I customized the platform to meet the needs of the companies and the users. Currently we are using Jive SBS for our internal collaboration tool, and we also have customized Jive SBS for several of our clients. It was interesting to see how the users of these communities were so familiar with the social media and they wanted to see similar implementation in their internal spaces. One of the examples would be LinkedIn’s profile completeness module which is documented in the power point slide I provided below.

In this power point I have documented three examples of the custom modules that enhance the community experience. There are other two custom widgets / interaction we have created that I have not included in this slide: single sign on capability and Jive SBS photo gallery. We are currently working on other custom interactive widgets you have seen on Twitter and Facebook. How about internal March Madness Pick em widget and American Idol widget? Internal community does not have to be all about work. Right?
