About this
research report
InSites Consulting, together with sample and data
collection partner SSI and the translation agency No
Problem! conducted a quantitative online survey among
1,222 senior managers.

The targeted markets included are Belgium, The
Netherlands, France, Germany, the US and the UK.

All respondents are senior or top managers from
companies (+20fte) in different sectors, with different
sizes and offers. Splits per sector, region… are shown if
the results are relevant.
What to expect from
this research report
Market circumstances are forcing companies to change
their marketing, their behavior and their leadership style.

In his book, The Conversation Company, Steven
identifies four pillars that will guide companies through
this change process. These pillars are rethinking
customer experience, conversation management,
content strategy and collaboration.

This research project measures the current state of
companies in their journey to become a conversation
company.
The Conversation
Company Philosophy

‘The Conversation Company’ is a metaphor for the
most consumer-centric organization one can imagine,
using the power of the people as a positive lever and
thankfully accepting social media as an ideal business
partner. Company culture is the conversation guide for
all employees and clients. To optimize its conversation
potential, the Conversation Company invests in 4 C’s:
Customer Experience, Conversation management,
Content marketing & Consumer Collaboration.
4C IMPACT MODEL

                  The 4C impact model shows how ‘identification with company culture’ and ‘social
                  media integration’ influence the adoption level of the 4C pillars, which in turn have an
                  impact on employee satisfaction and the likelihood of staff recommending their own
                  company to others. Both are objective parameters of business performance.

The Company Culture
is your company’s
Conversation Guide

The most commonly used definition of company culture reads as follows:
“Company culture is a series of shared values and convictions which help individuals understand the functioning
of the company.”
A transparent company culture makes it easy for the employees to understand exactly what the company expects
of them. Culture gives people an insight into the type of behaviour the company considers appropriate.
Research confirms that company culture often forms the basis for the successful implementation of a strategy. A
strong company culture also has a positive impact on the performance and productivity of its employees. This
culture is a kind of „mental programming‟ that sets an organisation apart from its competitors.

Your culture is the personality of your organisation and the foundation your Conversation Company is built on.
Your staff and customers make this culture tangible to others. This involves a method of reasoning that works
from the inside out. A traditional company is first and foremost interested in keeping its shareholders happy.
Making customers happy only comes second, with the staff coming a poor third. A Conversation Company turns
this logic on its head. Happy staff are more than willing to keep the customers happy; happy customers mean
higher profits and this makes the shareholders happy as well. Or, as CEO of Southwest Airlines puts it:
“We take good care of our staff. Our staff take good care of our customers. And our customers take good care of
our shareholders.”
Your company culture is the conversation guide for employees and clients. Employees know how to behave and
how to communicate with clients, whereas clients know what to expect.
Lack of identification
among top management
blocks the evolution

We looked for the reasons why some companies are refusing to invest in new media. Looking at the data, we found
some typical results: the healthcare industry is lagging behind; media is a frontrunner; smaller companies are in the
lead compared to bigger companies. But I have to admit, these differences are rather small.
There is a bigger and more fundamental reason why some companies are lagging behind: their leaders. This survey
was undertaken among top managers from companies in the US, the UK and Europe[p1]. It was quite shocking to
see that about half of these top managers do not identify with the corporate identity and culture of the company they
preside over. This parameter is crucial to being open to change and evolution. Leaders who have a less emotional
bond with their company, invest less in social media. The transparency, openness and authenticity of the social web
must scare them away.
This shows that conversational leadership becomes a critical success factor for adapting companies to the
transparent world we live in. Leaders can hate their job but need to love their company. The more extreme the ‘love’
(emotional bond) between the leader and the company, the higher a company scores in social media
adoption/integration.

‘First who, then what’
I am a big fan of Jim Collins’ book ‘From good to great’. In his work he states that great companies first decide on the
‘Who?’ and then on the ‘What?’. Our research about social media integration and adoption has the same conclusion.
If you are serious about social media, the two elements you need are a conversation leader and a corporate culture
which acts as your conversation guide. After that, implementation of new projects will go a lot faster. This study also
shows that some companies (with the wrong leader and wrong culture) will never be successful in this field. Probably
these companies have even more serious problems to deal with first, don’t you think?
It’s remarkable that half
the senior and top-level
managers do not or
hardly identify with the
culture of the company
they work for.

The two main reasons
are the lack of visibility
of company values
throughout the
organization and a
limited focus on
company culture in the
recruitment process.
Company culture is built on having strong values and
living these values…

The 5 most common values are…

Social network adoption is

platforms are Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn and

However, integration of
social media in business
processes is low. Only

Yet our study shows that
social media integration
has a positive impact on

Adoption
Why these Four Components?

These four new disciplines have been chosen after careful consideration.
A survey of 400 marketers has shown that companies grow faster than their sector rivals when they
use these four components in unison.
These four pillars help build a conversation lever for both your employees and your customers. Moreover,
the entire process is in line with your company culture and company values.

The first pillar, customer experience, is the most important conversation starter. If your employees and
your customers feel well-treated, they will mention this to each other.
Managing customer experience means investing in word-of-mouth. You are developing a focus for staff
and consumer satisfaction. As a result, service is no longer be seen as a cost but as an investment in
conversations.

Managing the conversations is the second pillar. This involves observing, facilitating and participating in
conversations. Your participation in conversations in social media will help humanise your company and
make it seem less distant. Asking and answering questions boosts the interaction between the company
and the market.

In addition to the reactive answering of questions, the Conversation Company also adopts an active
strategy with regard to content. Your content proves you are an expert in your field. Your company moves
away from campaign-based thinking and towards the planning of impactful, conversation-generating
content.
The final pillar is the pillar of structural collaboration between your company and the market. The
customer wants to help you and you welcome that help. The Conversation Company builds various
communities of customers, who help determine the future of the organisation.

The 4C's of the Conversation Company

  • 2. About this research report InSites Consulting, together with sample and data collection partner SSI and the translation agency No Problem! conducted a quantitative online survey among 1,222 senior managers. The targeted markets included are Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Germany, the US and the UK. All respondents are senior or top managers from companies (+20fte) in different sectors, with different sizes and offers. Splits per sector, region… are shown if the results are relevant.
  • 3. What to expect from this research report Market circumstances are forcing companies to change their marketing, their behavior and their leadership style. In his book, The Conversation Company, Steven identifies four pillars that will guide companies through this change process. These pillars are rethinking customer experience, conversation management, content strategy and collaboration. This research project measures the current state of companies in their journey to become a conversation company.
  • 4. The Conversation Company Philosophy ‘The Conversation Company’ is a metaphor for the most consumer-centric organization one can imagine, using the power of the people as a positive lever and thankfully accepting social media as an ideal business partner. Company culture is the conversation guide for all employees and clients. To optimize its conversation potential, the Conversation Company invests in 4 C’s: Customer Experience, Conversation management, Content marketing & Consumer Collaboration.
  • 5. 4C IMPACT MODEL The 4C impact model shows how ‘identification with company culture’ and ‘social media integration’ influence the adoption level of the 4C pillars, which in turn have an impact on employee satisfaction and the likelihood of staff recommending their own company to others. Both are objective parameters of business performance. Identification with company culture Satisfaction & recommendation Social Media adoption
  • 6. 5 KEY CONCLUSIONS OF OUR RESEARCH
  • 7. 1 Lack of identification with the corporate values among top management blocks social media integration
  • 8. 2 High social Low social media adoption media integration 61% 29% 29% 27% 27% 17% 17% 15% 15% 39% 12% 12% 29% Doing nothing with social Doingmedia First steps in social media First Pilot phase in social media Pilot Integrating social media Integrating Social media is integrated Social nothing steps in phase social media with social social in media integrated media media social 24% media

  • 10. 4 A digital gap is created in the business world: Those who invest today, are the ones who will invest tomorrow
  • 11. Companies that invest in all 4 C’s have a higher satisfaction & 5 recommendation rate among their own employees
  • 13. 4C IMPACT MODEL Identification with company culture Satisfaction & recommendation Social Media adoption
  • 14. The Company Culture is your company’s Conversation Guide The most commonly used definition of company culture reads as follows: “Company culture is a series of shared values and convictions which help individuals understand the functioning of the company.” A transparent company culture makes it easy for the employees to understand exactly what the company expects of them. Culture gives people an insight into the type of behaviour the company considers appropriate. Research confirms that company culture often forms the basis for the successful implementation of a strategy. A strong company culture also has a positive impact on the performance and productivity of its employees. This culture is a kind of „mental programming‟ that sets an organisation apart from its competitors. Your culture is the personality of your organisation and the foundation your Conversation Company is built on. Your staff and customers make this culture tangible to others. This involves a method of reasoning that works from the inside out. A traditional company is first and foremost interested in keeping its shareholders happy. Making customers happy only comes second, with the staff coming a poor third. A Conversation Company turns this logic on its head. Happy staff are more than willing to keep the customers happy; happy customers mean higher profits and this makes the shareholders happy as well. Or, as CEO of Southwest Airlines puts it: “We take good care of our staff. Our staff take good care of our customers. And our customers take good care of our shareholders.” Your company culture is the conversation guide for employees and clients. Employees know how to behave and how to communicate with clients, whereas clients know what to expect.
  • 15. Lack of identification among top management blocks the evolution We looked for the reasons why some companies are refusing to invest in new media. Looking at the data, we found some typical results: the healthcare industry is lagging behind; media is a frontrunner; smaller companies are in the lead compared to bigger companies. But I have to admit, these differences are rather small. There is a bigger and more fundamental reason why some companies are lagging behind: their leaders. This survey was undertaken among top managers from companies in the US, the UK and Europe[p1]. It was quite shocking to see that about half of these top managers do not identify with the corporate identity and culture of the company they preside over. This parameter is crucial to being open to change and evolution. Leaders who have a less emotional bond with their company, invest less in social media. The transparency, openness and authenticity of the social web must scare them away. This shows that conversational leadership becomes a critical success factor for adapting companies to the transparent world we live in. Leaders can hate their job but need to love their company. The more extreme the ‘love’ (emotional bond) between the leader and the company, the higher a company scores in social media adoption/integration. ‘First who, then what’ I am a big fan of Jim Collins’ book ‘From good to great’. In his work he states that great companies first decide on the ‘Who?’ and then on the ‘What?’. Our research about social media integration and adoption has the same conclusion. If you are serious about social media, the two elements you need are a conversation leader and a corporate culture which acts as your conversation guide. After that, implementation of new projects will go a lot faster. This study also shows that some companies (with the wrong leader and wrong culture) will never be successful in this field. Probably these companies have even more serious problems to deal with first, don’t you think?
  • 16. It’s remarkable that half the senior and top-level managers do not or hardly identify with the culture of the company they work for. The two main reasons are the lack of visibility of company values throughout the organization and a limited focus on company culture in the recruitment process.
  • 17. Company culture is built on having strong values and living these values… The 5 most common values are… 26% More than 1 in 4 companies has 27% customer centricity ‘professionalism’ as a value. professionalism France is an outlier regarding company values: values such as responsibility, trust and respect carry more weight. 16% expertise 16% 19% result driven service-oriented
  • 18. But how are people living these values… Perfect fit between No fit between company company & personal & personal values values Only 1 in 2 feel their personal values fit closely with those of the Company company they values work for. This percentage is significantly higher among top-level Personal managers, managers values with more than 20 years of experience, B2B companies and companies not listed on the stock market. 51% 49%
  • 19. The better the value match the more satisfied people are and the more likely they are to recommend their company to others
  • 20. 37% of managers claim their company values are not clear to everyone in the company
  • 21. 54% of companies recruit employees based on matching values

  • 38. 4C IMPACT MODEL Identification with company culture Satisfaction & recommendation Social Media Adoption
  • 39. Why these Four Components? These four new disciplines have been chosen after careful consideration. A survey of 400 marketers has shown that companies grow faster than their sector rivals when they use these four components in unison. These four pillars help build a conversation lever for both your employees and your customers. Moreover, the entire process is in line with your company culture and company values. The first pillar, customer experience, is the most important conversation starter. If your employees and your customers feel well-treated, they will mention this to each other. Managing customer experience means investing in word-of-mouth. You are developing a focus for staff and consumer satisfaction. As a result, service is no longer be seen as a cost but as an investment in conversations. Managing the conversations is the second pillar. This involves observing, facilitating and participating in conversations. Your participation in conversations in social media will help humanise your company and make it seem less distant. Asking and answering questions boosts the interaction between the company and the market. In addition to the reactive answering of questions, the Conversation Company also adopts an active strategy with regard to content. Your content proves you are an expert in your field. Your company moves away from campaign-based thinking and towards the planning of impactful, conversation-generating content.
