I quite like the collection of number comparisons from MIT: Social Business by the Numbers. Some amusing comparisons – such as only 3% of companies are fully networked and yet the potential gains are McKinsey’s $1.3 Trillion. I wonder who are those 3% and just how networked they really are – well OK I know who they probably are and would question how much they really are…
Best stat comparison is between CEOs and CIOs. 48% of CEOs think social media is important or somewhat important to their business, whereas only half of CIOs think the same. This actually begs a lot of questions.
1) What do the other 52% and 76% think?
2) What would the ratio be if social media was replaced by the term social business or Enterprise 2.0 (we still have that naming thing)
3) Are they right?!

Russell, do you know if McKinsey published their methodology?
Hi Patrick – I seem to remember this being stated out but can’t find where. I thought the data was very robustly put together and researched thoroughly, a lot more so in fact than other forrays into this field.
