Social
Business "
rests upon
four truths
that shape
today’s
business
environment
TRUTH #1 Communication continues to
reach further faster
TRUTH #2 Everyone has a voice and is
influential online
TRUTH #3 The increasingly connected
world generates an overflow of
information
TRUTH #4 Core business objectives will
always remain constant

Social expectations have changed …
1. We are more informed, connected, capable and
empowered than ever before.
2. Rising emphasis on relations and systems of collaboration,
participation, dispersion and distributed expertise
3. We are seeking more value, that is value for time, value for
attention and value for access to their personal information
4. Rise of the creative audiences and communities = desire to
not only control interaction with providers/firms; but also to
engage in production through co-creation
5. A new generation of worker is building momentum for new
modes of collaboration and communication enabled by
social business

“A social business embraces the culture
and technology of the social revolution
for strategic business outcomes. "
"
It understands that employees across
the organization should contribute to
brand excellence through internal and
external engagement.”

“The past few years there has been an
awakening: people have moved on from asking
‘what is social business’ to"
‘how do I integrate it [social] into my business.’ "
"
The line between real business and social
business is diminishing.”"

Adoption is not enough. "
Leaders must actually drive "
its use.
“[For] Social collaboration to be successful in business, leaders
have to explain why. Leaders need to really collaborate and
make sure people understand the importance of transparency,
shared accountability and --- sharing in general.”
“Connecting social with core business objectives is the
key of ‘explaining why.”

Social is a way of being …
• It is about people and our use of social technologies to share
ideas, opinions, stories and artifacts with others irrespective of
geography and outside the control of an organization and/or
individual (Kaplan and Haelein, 2010).
• Our social ways of participating with and through digital and
social media and social applications … to … develop social
capital and social learning throughout networks, relationships
and community (Page and Pitt, 2011).
• The interplay of social behavior with, through and around
social technologies and the philosophy of socializing with
members of a social graph.”(@drkellypage, 2013)
