The 3 C’s of social business

Collaboration, content and community are the building blocks of the social business. Each of these elements can be combined to create functions that support some social process. Here are a few examples:
Collaboration - Community:
   Peer to Peer Customer Support Communities
   Partner communities
   Crowdsourcing product / service feedback
Collaboration - Content: 
   Crowdsourcing contact data
   Crowdsourced (employee) product documentation
   Crowdsourced training material (employee sourced)
Community - Content:
   Product / service issue resolution and support documentation that is the output of a peer to peer support community and is harvested by the business as an addition to its corporate knowledge base.
   Customer loyalty programs
Collaboration - Content - Community:
   Co-innovation on product / service development (could be partner - company, customer - company, supplier - company, etc.)
   Supplier networks
   Partner selling / lead management
These are only a few examples of the many use cases that can be defined using the three C's
