@DavidChris Social Media in Business: It’s just a bunch of tools right? (Auto plays in presentation mode) www.stopthinksocial.com

Mr Bossman has heard Social Media is hip and cool.

“ Social Media is hip and cool. Blogs are Social Media. I must write a BLOG! ” Mr Bossman

Mr Bossman starts a Blog.

2 weeks later…

“ Why is nobody in my team responding ? Social Media sucks! ” ts 5B log pos e nts 0 comm

Another 2 weeks later…

“ Why is Social Media not working for me? ” osts 1 0 Blog p en ts 0 comm Social Media Guru

The Social Media Guru knows the answer…

…and explains it delicately to Mr Bossman.

“ Your approach is wrong, wrong, wrong !!! ” osts 1 0 Blog p e nts 0 Comm

The Social Media Guru begins to explain that Social Media is not about tools…

“ Social Media is not about tools… ”

“ It’s about PEOPLE! ”

“ Have you heard of P.O.S.T ? ”

Mr Bossman begins to understand where he was going wrong…

…and begins to apply the P.O.S.T methodology to his problem.

“ A lot of my team do use Facebook in their personal lives. ” People Assess your customers’ activities

“ I want my diverse team to share experiences, discuss ideas and support one another in an open environment. ” Objectives Decide what you want to accomplish

“ I also want them to think I am hip and cool. ” Objectives Decide what you want to accomplish

“ But this is a big change! My team must be allowed to allocate time to make this work. ” Strategy Plan for how relationships with customers will change.

“ I need a SOCIAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY. ” Technology Decide which social technologies to use.

“ A social networking application would be perfect for this. ” Technology Decide which social technologies to use.

The IT department deploy a social networking application… ……quickly.

And another 2 weeks later…

Mr Bossmans’ team are now collaborating better.

Mr Bossman is very happy.

However, Mr Bossman was not able to achieve all his objectives…

…his team still do not think he is hip or cool.

Social Media is about PEOPLE!
