  • The use of digital is also blurring the lines between customer and seller. A few years ago people thought I was insane in facilitating a network on my lonesome on top of my day job. You join a professional association and become the VP of programming if you want to do that. Later they sought confirmation in their assessment of my insanity when I started Conversation Agent. Many are now using blogs as a dynamic newsletter to push news about their projects out. The difference between native and immigrant in the two activities above is the degree of involvement. When I started developing the network I only suspected that I would have a higher degree of interest in its success -- now I know with certainty that it's because I am at the same time organizer and leader as well as participant. Having a blog is a way to stay curious and participate in the larger conversation, not merely a way to make your newsletter interactive.

Brand Building + Social Media = Zappos Example and Employee Advocacy - Fast.Fwd.Innov@tion - 0 views

  • Brand Building + Social Media = Zappos Example and Employee Advocacy
    • william doust
       
      Very inspiring change context - and see it with community building eyes - from the philanthropic sector ;-) enjoy
  • every year a culture book including testimonials of employees about how it is to work at Zappos.
  • Zappos tends more on spending money on employees than on media planning.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • We invest the time and money into hiring and nurturing the right people, as many other companies do in their media planning - Brian Karma, Zappos director of creative services and brand marketing
  • you’ve got it in you DNA, whether you don’t: being able to implement the community management at all levels of a company, the 360 degrees process communities as Ross Mayfield explains, is more like an utopia for many companies that won’t be able to master the social media channel as Zappos do right now.
  • It’s one strategy that would work for any company,
  • not a company culture that many can afford to develop
  • the strategy is just smart: empowering people so they keep on being accurate and engaged with their customers to provide them with the best-in-class customer care, making people comfortable with buying shoes online and spreading the word thanks to the customer support.

Stanford Social Innovation Review : Articles : Money to Grow On (September 6, 2008) - 0 views

  • The common deal breaker? A sustainable funding model. Nonprofits can likewise use this process to figure out whether and how they can attract growth capital.
  • In the for-profit world, the term “investment” has clear meaning and investors have sophisticated techniques for spotting and growing the most promising companies. Yet foundations and other nonprofit donors have not developed similar clarity or approaches. As a result, the nonprofit sector’s greatest gems often languish well below their full potential. By better translating for-profit concepts, donors can learn how to scout out and grow the best nonprofits. Likewise, certain nonprofits can take a page from business’s playbook and learn how to attract cash for expansion.
