- 90% adoption rate among employees
- 96% active users

These results clearly demonstrate the power of a social intranet as it fosters social creativity and streamlines collaboration in the enterprise. These externalizations provide a means for others to interact with, react to, and build on an idea by allowing multiple voices to be brought in. As a result, it not only improves productivity but also creates a common language of understanding among employees. By choosing Jive, Critical Mass has powered the CM1 Community with the #1 provider of social business platforms to engage employees with ideas, conversations, knowledge and solutions.
