FOCUS ON «BRANDING»
CORPORATE IDENTITY


FOCUS ON «BRANDING»

The IIW will take care (through the Head of
Communication and her IW collaborators &
specialized Agencies) to provide further update
the Official IIW Brand (this work has already
begun last year, and I’ve collaborated in this
area with Catherine Refabert). The entire first
section of the seminar “PROMOTING INNER
WHEEL” and titled CORPORATE IDENTITY well
examines this topic.


TO DO «BRANDING PROMOTION»
IT BECOMES ESSENTIAL AS A VALUE

An Effective Communication
facilitates action, developing
trust, cooperation and good
reputation. It becomes essential
to do “BRANDING
PROMOTION”: develop
recognition and image, define
its placement in the
Associations; a brand that,
ruling creativity and
technology, is able to be a value
for the IW towards the members
and towards the general public.

I would just like mention - and I refer you to the
relevant and first section of the seminar quoted,
if interested - the various components of the
BRAND, without, however, get again into
specifics.

FOCUS ON «THE WEB
COMMUNICATION»
GOING GLOBAL


IIW WEBSITE IN PROGRESS
AND INTERACTION WITH THE
DATABASE


TO INFORM, DESCRIBE, DOCUMENT,
TRAIN, ARCHIVE
The IIW official web-site, is and will be,
increasingly, the large container, where to draw
on with regard to knowledge of IIW. All of us are
familiar with them, activated in August 2011 by
Catherine Refabert, updated in the graphics and
structure after the last Convention; a site that is
able to inform, describe, train, archive, make
available relevant documents, that can be
downloaded. The work of Catherine, to provide
ourselves with this site, was very commendable.

In this context, the official website

books and materials in digital form
(viewable and downloadable),
useful to inform, describe,

this sense, a real e-Library.

E-TRAINING & E-LEARNING
E-TUTORING
WEBINARS


On this subject, I refer
again to the PPT
“Promoting Inner
Wheel” (3rd Section).
specifically developed
for the Convention.


On the IIW website we could organize a
LIFELONG E-LEARNING AREA, through the
study and preparation of a variety of materials
in promoting knowledge about Inner Wheel.

MEDIATRAININGONLINE is a method adopted
and used by various International Associations
to inform & educate their members.


Content can be
designed in different
formats: HTML pages,
PPT, eBooks, audio,
video contributions,
test, ... In any case, we
think of content made
in media mode.


Materials must be constructed in such a way as to
provide three important features of
ONLINE TRAINING,
destined to a very large IW population

GENERAL

E-TUTORING
We can provide also actions of TUTORING
(with a Team of Tutors) to support the
training of members, through available tools
(chat, forums, email, etc ...).

40

WEBINARS
Another tool already
activated in some
Associations,
including the Rotary ,
is that of WEBINAR .
Short for Web-based
seminar, a
presentation, lecture,
workshop or seminar
that is transmitted
over the Web.

SOCIAL NETWORKS


IIW OFFICIAL PAGES ON FB, TWITTER,
LINKEDIN
It’s already spent more
than a year, since the IIW
has launched the official
page on FB, Linkedin
and Twitter. At the time,
we observe a remarkable
development of FB,
much less that of
Linkedin and Twitter.
The official FB page data
are monitored. They are
good, could be better.
There is a certain "awe"
to use it more.

INNER WHEEL MEMBERS ON FB
Much more
significant, however,
the daily exchange of
personal profiles.
Generally good - but
variable from case to
case - even that of
groups or pages open
in the name of a Club,
a District, a National
Body.

LIFE INNER WHEEL ON FB… and other
Aside from the friendly atmosphere "and ...
fun", in which, attending each other, flowers
and landscapes are posted, famous quotations,
world news, travel and family events, greetings
for birthdays ... you have to acknowledge that FB
has become - however - a great communication
vehicle "for" and "of" life Inner Wheel: Events,
Projects, Services, Meetings Club, District,
National, International are shared.


GLOBAL CULTURE
FB allows us to enter in the
cultures of all countries,
and have a very
aggregating effect. As - and
I have personally verified
through my profile - a
great success receive the
emotional - motivational
messages or quotes,
connected to the values
Inner Wheel, reflecting a
strong sense of belonging
and also, if I may, a
feminine sensibility.


EMOTIONAL - MOTIVATIONAL

MESSAGE & QUOTE
“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you
can,
As long as ever you can.”
(Debbie Macomber).

SENSITIZE MEMBERS
AND CLUBS, TO ENTER THE WORLD OF SOCIAL
NETWORKS; EXPLAIN THE MODES AND BENEFITS.


THE SOCIAL NETWORKS BREAK DOWN
WALLS AND BARRIERS IN THE WORLD


Each member will find its way to relate, its
strategy
Developing your strategy
 What outcomes do you want to achieve from
your online presences?
 Which audiences are you trying to reach?
 How will you reach them (which platforms)?
 What information will you share?
 How often will you share it?
 Who is responsible for updates (groups,
pages)? Who are your admins?

FOCUS ON «CLOUD
COMPUTING»
THE FUTURE


THE CLOUD
Cloud Computing is a
technology that uses the
internet and central remote
servers to maintain data and
applications. Cloud computing
allows consumers and
businesses to use applications
without installation and access
their personal files at any
computer with internet access.
This technology allows for much
more efficient computing by
centralizing data storage,
processing and bandwidth.


Cloud
Computing
is simply to
outsource
(online)
applications
and
activities,
rather than
inside of our
house. The
advantages
are many.

IT’S VIRTUAL

AFFORDABLE SECURE
