“First, make sure you understand what a digital workplace actually means. Avanade’s research showed that an overwhelming majority of companies (84 percent) mistakenly believe that using email and social media alone constitute a digital workplace. The reality is that a truly digital workplace brings together applications, information and collaboration in an intelligent context that is tailored to the individual employee’s role, location and tasks. As a technology leader, strive to create a common taxonomy when you’re talking to your colleagues, peers and other business stakeholders”

Well, email and social media does make it a digital workplace, just not a very effective one.
