“Social Business is risk tolerance, not ROI”
What Not to Do:
Don’t get caught in the ROI
argument – no one wins.
“When an executive asks for ROI, what
they mean is ‘reassure me.’ ”
What to Do:
§ Research - Support with facts/
factoids along the way
§ Develop - Strategy tailored for your
business
§ Decide – Risk tolerance
