Today’s networked world allows connections that were never dreamed possible. We’ve all heard of Facebook and Twitter. But what happens when the tools that connect us to our community are used in Business? Good relationships are an essential element of business, and social networking tools allow us to build and maintain those relationships over time and distance, silos and divisions, cultures and generations.
You probably have a LinkedIn profile to help you connect with colleagues and prospects, but are you following your customers and competitors on Twitter to see what they’re talking about? Are you using online tools with your clients and vendors to collaborate in real time? Are you sourcing innovative ideas from your employees?
Social Business goes beyond tweets and email to bring interactivity to new levels. Those firms that both understand and embrace the changes that are already happening will have an advantage in the marketplace.
This workshop will help you to:
- Understand the goals of Social Business
- See examples of tools for businesses of all sizes
- Appreciate the benefits of moving to a networked enterprise
