How’s that going for you?

So what about this “social” stuff?

To spark creativity we need to “open the conversation”

So how might social help us address the business problems for which we have used email?

Open the conversation.Ask questions out in the open.

Leverage the audience.Use networks to target.

Share the wealth.I can be as smart as you…

just 5 minutes later

Frame to save.Conversations in context.

Capture the bright moments.Short bursts of insight.

Innovation and good ideas often doesn’t call attention to

itself

Innovation and good ideas often doesn’t call attention to

itself

It’s easy.Low impact, High value.

It keeps on giving.Good stuff sticks.

So go from transactionsto interactions

Organization to Organism

It took us a while to get here.It may take some time to get out.

It’s not technology, it’s culture

Look up. Look around. Get out.It’s amazing what you’ll discover.
