Social Now What?
The adoption of social media tools within organizations is still in the early stages. Strategies are being considered, roles created, and applications implemented. But once the engine is in place, what next? Now that leaders understand the power of social tools to create new connections and opportunities for collaboration, they need to understand what it truly means for their organizations. How can they apply and manage them effectively to get the most value? How do they get buy-in from the entire organization? In this engaging and informative presentation, Marcia educates organizations on the benefits of creating a collaborative environment and how to effectively manage it for maximum return.
The New Social Learning: Transform Your Work Through Collaborative Technology
Business leaders consider social media the new silver bullet for marketing, yet they ignore–often outright ban–its use within their organizations. Social technologies have the power to transform enterprises into ecosystems teaming with innovative approaches, fresh solutions and dramatic decisions. How can you use people’s natural drive to build relationships into a modern source of influence, creating more energy than they consume?
In this presentation, Marcia lays out a new approach that today’s leaders and organizations must adopt for competitive advantage and a more engaged workforce. Online communities, media sharing, micro-sharing, and content networks introduce ideas in quick bursts, when it suits the flow of work, without a big learning curve. You’ll hear:
- Why together people drive growth.
- The characteristics, skills, and behaviors of today’s social leaders.
- Top company’s practices and policies.
- And, how you can start crafting a people-focused social strategy.
This forward-looking and interactive keynote examines emerging trends, looks at their impact on every organization, and addresses how leaders should react. You’ll walk away with a vision for your future, playground rules required to create a successful and safe launch, and a list of the specific tools and strategies to put into practice Monday morning.
How to Create a Collaborative Culture

Using compelling case studies, research and best practices, Marcia will provide leaders the insights on how to use today's social media tools to create connections and increase collaborations within your organization.
