Why I created this infographic (and how you can use it)
I introduced Yammer (an enterprise social network) in my organisation many years ago (I was part-time internal communications as well as an illustrator/”visual storyteller”). I soon realised that not everybody understood what Yammer was about. As a former digital campaigner for nonprofit organisations and an ex-cartoonist I knew that illustrations are the most effective way to explain abstract concepts to a time poor audience. So I decided to draw down the key concepts. This particular infographic is aimed at internal communications people (and others at the forefront of the internal social media revolution).

[…] The style I used is realistic (note that I can also do infographics in a more cartoony style). […]

I like this. I’m always looking for content to add to my Yammer feed, and this fits right in with our mission to keep our senior executives engaged in the conversation.
Glad you like it and hope it helps you in your mission to keep senior executives on board! Feel free to use individual images as well (you can download them here). You can use them for example in PowerPoint presentations and newsletters (among other things).
By the way: I will make all my noncommercial visual work freely available on this blog, so do check back later. Or subscribe to the newsletter (I will include links to latest posts). I’ve got couple of Yammer related illustrations/visual stories in the pipeline.
Love to reuse some of these images in a blog post series. I’m happy to link back here and potentially include some in presentations. These are GREAT!!

This is a great Infographic. I’m trying to increase user adoption of yammer in some of my 365 Clients and these visuals make things extremely easy to comprehend
Thanks for these, incredibly helpful, and I hope you don’t mind if I use them in my Yammer guidelines, with a link back to this site.

This is great! Thanks Virpi!
Im introducing Yammer to an educational institution but recognise a lot of the issues outlined here, so this resource is very helpful. My only gripe is viewing this on a tablet means that areas are obscured by the box with the social media links, i understand the need for them but there seems to be no way to control how and where they appear on the page. That said, I certainly intend to use the tips going forward, it would be interesting to compare your findings with that of an educational setting.
love it 🙂
