Accelerating the Social Media RevolutionMayo Clinic
Slides from the Oct. 23, 2013 opening keynote by Farris Timimi, M.D. and Lee Aase of the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media at the #MayoRagan Social Media Summit in Rochester, Minnesota.
Abstract: Social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have become common place for personal use, but how do we leverage these free tools to not only connect with our clientele but promote Extension to new audiences. Currently, there are 25 million Twitter accounts, over 500 million active Facebook users and 2 billion videos watched daily on YouTube, therefore, it makes sense for Extension to have a presence where users are spending time.

Join us to learn how to engage your clients, colleagues and supporters in social networks as well as exposure Extension content to a new demographic.

1. You won't know what people
are saying about you
The conversation is taking place anyway.
You can choose to participate or you can
ignore it, but people are talking -- even
when you're not listening.
48. 48
2. You won't know what's going on
Listening in to conversations on Facebook, Twitter and the
blogosphere is like having a free focus group going 24/7.
If you listen to your market, you'll be able to anticipate
customer needs, make better products, improve services and
hear what's wrong with what you are currently delivering.
49. 49
3. No one knows the real you
• Someone may already be squatting on your brand and
spewing false corporate messages
• If you don't secure your brand accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, no one will know if it's real or fake.
Get out there with your own voice and establish a
reputation for authenticity and truth - it's a lot harder
for someone else to hijack your brand.
50. 50
4. When you need a voice, you
won't have any credibility
• Typically, organizations only think of a blog or a
Twitter account, after a crisis hits.
• Whether you're talking online or off, it takes
months – even years – to establish trust in a
relationship.
• You need to start the conversation in order to
start making deposits in the bank of trust.
Then when you need it, the credibility will be
there.
51. 51
5. You're giving away a
competitive advantage
• Whether you are listening
or not, chances are your
competition is monitoring
what your stakeholders
are saying about you.
• They may get the
feedback you don’t and
be able to bring a new
product to market faster,
and meet the needs of
the marketplace better
than you can.

“Fish where the fish are!”
Users are spend more time in

social networks, video sites pro-

brand online?

how they say it.

your voice
Observe comments
and reactions, if any
Do not dominate the
conversations!

• Visual: Rise of video, photos
• Humanizing the experience wins
• ROI: right content, right context = $
• Community management going in-house,

• Early days yet, big corporations still make
blunders

Passenger on ferry Janis Krums clicked a snapshot with his iPhone of US Airways Flight 1549 partially submerged in the Hudson River and tweets rescue of passengers in Hudson River after plane crash.
Same pic appeared on front pages of major dailies.
The captain of a luxury cruise liner that capsized off Italy's coast may have steered the ship too close to shore so that its head waiter could salute his family in a pre-planned stunt that was posted on Facebook. Just minutes before the Costa Concordia struck rocks and began taking on water, the head waiter's sister updated her Facebook status to say: " In a short period of time the Concordia ship will pass very close. A big greeting to my brother who finally gets to have a holiday on landing in Savona." Captain Francesco Schettino, 52, reportedly invited the head waiter, Antonello Tievoli, on to the bridge as he steered the vessel towards the coast of Giglio on Friday night. "Come and see, Antonello, we're right in front of Giglio," the captain told Tievoli shortly before the crash, according to Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper. It also quoted witnesses who claimed the waiter had warned Captain Schettino just before the accident, saying: "Careful, we are extremely close to the shore." Captain Schettino may have performed the sail-past also as a salute to an old colleague, a former admiral from the cruise line, who was not even on Giglio on Friday night.

Costa Cruises offered compensation to passengers (to a limit of €11,000 a person) to pay for all damages including the value of the cruise. One-third of the passengers took this offer.

All of the 155 passengers and crew aboard the aircraft survived. Captain Francesco Schettino seen as a villain because he abandoned the ill-fated cruise ship Costa Concordia after it partially sunk and ran aground at Isola del Giglio, Tuscany, on 13 January 2012 before all the passengers were rescued. The ship carried 4,252 people of which 32 lives were lost.
