11 Ways To Explain Social Business Benefits - The BrainYard - InformationWeek - 0 views

  • strategies to explain social tools to people without drowning them in social speak or meaningless jargon
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      Focus fundamental: ¿por qué suelen fallar las iniciativas 'social media' en general, y en el ámbito de las empresas en particular (social business initiatives)?. Normalmente comenzamos hablando a la gente con un lenguaje técnico, una jerga de nuevas palabras tales como blogs,wikis,microblogging, e incluso 'social business'. Niniguna de esas cosas les importa realmente. Son herramientas y métodos que nos permiten hacer cosas que SI pueden importarnos. ¿Cuáles son esas cosas de interés para la audiencia?
  • What are the things that do matter?
    • Enrique Rubio Royo
       
      ¿Cómo deberíamos empezar a plantear las cosas?, ¿qué cosas preocupan a la audiencia?. P.e. si son empresarios, gerentes o profesionales autónomos, según la autora, deberíamos pensar en comunicarles aspectos posibles a alcanzar con el 'social business' como ... 1.- Asegurarnos de sacar el máximo provecho de los recursos que hemos invertido, de manera que se traduzca en cosas visibles y disponibles para todas las personas de nuestro ecosistema, que son al final quienes las van a valorar 2.- Conseguir que los clientes se sientan valorados y distinguidos por compartir nuestras experiencias con ellos - mediante nuestros productos, servicios, soporte y facturación - que además funcionan bien y son fáciles de usar 3.- Conseguir que los empleados sienten que se valoran sus contribuciones, atendiéndolas con el cuidado suficiente para promover sus ideas y su conexión a los recursos 4.- Aumentar el nivel de comodidad y conocimiento de nuevas conexiones (relaciones), para que de manera proactiva quieran implicarse con nuestras empresas 5.- Creación de relaciones personales para tener embajadores en más lugares que cualquier persona pudiera alcanzar
  • what matters most is ensuring that everyone in our ecosystem feels valued and recognized in proportion to their contributions because that drives revenue, profitability, and happiness.

      lo más importante es asegurar que todos los miembros de nuestro ecosistema se sientan valorados y reconocidos en proporción a sus aportaciones, ya que dicho reconocimiento promueve retornos, rentabilidad y felicidad.

  • People unfamiliar with the tools of this new social business space
  • almost always react poorly to initial messages that focus on the tools and how they will "revolutionize" business
  • They freeze in their tracks
  • because they don't understand the language and the technology
  • Often they're people with years of expertise, who are knowledgeable about their work and aren't accustomed to feeling uninformed.
  • it's better to ask them if they'd like to cool off, relax, and enjoy the beautiful view from the harbor.
  • It's like asking someone who has never sailed to put in
  • You must motivate people in language that they understand before introducing new ways of doing business
  • Here are some approaches you can take to help people who are new to social tools understand them:
  • There are hundreds of small-use cases that could benefit from using networked communications environments
  • Start looking for ones that either result in a lot of lost productivity
  • or where the company spends a lot of money
  • to redesign your communications ecosystem
  • change one communications habit at a time.
  • Which you choose will depend on how much executive support you have, how culturally ready your company is, and how much budget is available.
  • regardless of your approach, the more specific you are about how these tools and processes will help people do their work, the more successful you'll be.
  • There are benefits and risks to both, but
  • where social business initiatives often fall down.
  • We start throwing language at people--words like blogs, wikis, microblogging, even the term social business itself. None of those things really matter.
  • They're tools and methods that enable us to do things that matter

  • There are lots of tools available to help

  • Let’s explore some of the best ones for the “big three” social networking sites for lawyers: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
  • Taming Twitter
  • is a great way to network with other lawyers and potential clients interested in a given practice area.
  • an enormous number of tools have grown up around Twitter to augment and improve the user’s experience. Here are four ways to augment your use of Twitter, along with tools to get you there.
  • Once you start following more than a few people on Twitter, it can quickly become chaotic.
  • Organize your streams into groups
  • you need a way to organize your Twitter stream.
  • Third-party applications that allow users to create groups make quick work of imprinting order on the chaos. These applications let you organize your stream by your relationship to the Twitterer (e.g., family, friends, work colleagues) or by subject (e.g., law practice management, New York Yankees). You can even create a small VIP group for the people whose tweets you never want to miss.
  • Go multimedia.
  • the ability to send photos and videos change the way you can use Twitter.
  • TwitPic, which is free and easy to use, is our choice for photo sharing on Twitter.
  • to allow you to send videos to Twitter
  • TwitVid
  • Use Twitter to publicize your blog
  • Twitter can be an excellent avenue for publicizing your blog. Posting a short, simple tweet that says “New blog post at [insert blog name here]” followed by a link to the blog post is all that’s required. The authors are both bloggers who track our respective blog stats somewhat obsessively, and Twitter is often one of the biggest sources of traffic to our blogs.
  • There are several third-party applications that automate the process offeeding these short updates, including the blog URL, to Twitter.
  • Twitterfeed
  • Carry it in your pocket.
  • For many busy professionals, the number one objection to Twitter is “I just don't have time for it!”
  • There are many hyperbusy and productive people who use Twitter. The key is realizing that Twitter isn't something you make time for—it’s something that you fit into time slots that become available.
  • To capitalize on the small windows of time that become available in life
  • you must have Twitter available in your pocket. Which means the solution is to get a tool that lets you access it from your smartphone.
  • The options depend on your model of phone.
  • Figuring Out Facebook
  • Facebook (www.facebook.com) is a more complex social media site
  • it provides a means to extend your brand and demonstrate your ability to produce a deliverable service through relationship building.
  • Achieving that aim, however, requires using the correct tools on the site to focus the right content on the right people. Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of Facebook.
  • Control where the information flows
  • Unlike Twitter, Facebook will open up your life (and your family and your old college friends) to the world unless you seize control. Consequently, you need to distinguish between people that get to share your life and those that don't. You do this by creating a “list” under the News Feed column on the left-hand side of your Facebook home page. For example, you can create one list for “Friends and Family” and a separate one for “Professional” contacts. Once you've created a list, you can then restrict the list members' access to certain types of information.
  • Test your restrictions by going to the top of the Privacy Profile page, where you can use the “See how a friend sees your profile” button. Very enlightening.
  • Monitor your Wall.
  • Go to Settings, Account Settings and then Notifications, where you tell Facebook to notify you (by e-mail or SMS) about what, when and where things are added to your Wall. Also, make sure that you know when you have been tagged in a photo, just in case you don’t like the view.
  • Remember Google in your privacy shield
  • At the Search menu, you can set your Facebook search visibility, which determines what content may be searched internally and, separately, you can choose whether to allow search engines to see your Wall.
  • Feed your blog post to your profile.
  • Facebook also allows you to extend the reach of your blog
  • by feeding your blog posts to your profile page.
  • You can do the same thing for your Twitter posts.
  • Try a more business-centric focus if you like.
  • If you believe your Facebook presence should be more about your law practice as an entity than about you personally, you should use the Business Page feature.
  • An alternative to a Facebook Business Page is the Facebook Groups option.
  • Living with LinkedIn
  • networking community that is targeted specifically to professional users
  • It offers excellent integrated applications for building your brand name and promoting your expertise, including the ability to create your own communities within the community. Here are the keys to using it successfully.
  • Develop a great profile.
  • profile that emphasizes your strengths and minimizes your weaknesses.
  • Be bold but truthful
  • Spread your message using the integrated applications.
  • The applications give you a number of opportunities to demonstrate your interests and your expertise
  • Get and give recommendations on the site
  • Actively participate in groups.
  • Using Your Time Slots to the Best Advantage
  • Last but not least, remember that social networking never stops. So, to stay in the game from wherever you are, you should go mobile with Facebook and LinkedIn. Based for your phone mode
  • There you have it—a whole list of great tactics for improving your social networking projects to get the most out of your online business development efforts. As they say, if you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Use the tips and tools covered here and you’ll see a whole lot more in the social networking world.

  • Even the mainstream training field is realizing that reduced layers of bureaucracy mean decision-making gets pushed down the organization chart. This
  • is the message of the AMA in the promotional video – Critical Thinking: Not just a C-suite skill.  However, wirearchy takes this one important step further by advocating a two-way flow of power and authority. In both cases, the need for critical thinking is evident.
  • A personal knowledge management process can help to develop critical thinking skills, where sense-making includes observing, studying, challenging (especially one’s assumptions), and evaluating. Developing these skills takes practice, appropriate feedback and an environment that supports critical thinking.

  • Several web tools can be used to develop critical thinking skills; the foundation of PKM:
  • Wirearchy as the organizational framework, coupled with active personal knowledge management processes, is a step in that direction
  • how important an open source framework is as we move more of our computing to the cloud
  • issues on how Ning treats its customers, users and their data.
  • While Ning may be free, it is not open source, and the company can make changes at will, just like Facebook, Google or Twitter may do.
  • I advise my clients that they should consider how important their data is to them before using software as a service (SaaS). Can the data be easily exported? With social bookmarks, it is easy to export and import OPML files from one platform to another. It is also simple to export from WordPress.com SaaS to your own open source hosted version
  • With Ning, Facebook and many others, there is no such export function
  • So what is the alternative to Ning?
  • For large enterprise projects I have used Drupal as a community management platform and it works well, though it requires solid technical support.
  • Elgg, an open source social networking platform that attracted me because of its unique underlying mode
  • The key differentiator of Elgg is that the individual is the centre of all the action
  • This is real user control
  • The Elgg platform has matured in the past six years and has a strong community and a solid product (v. 1.7).
  • One major advantage of Elgg will be the ability to take your data and have it hosted elsewhere.
  • Supporting communities like Elgg and Drupal means that we can have more control over our use of web technologies. As business and education move to the web and the cloud, open-source platforms will help to ensure that some corporate board doesn’t decide our future for us.
