any companies are well aware that Social Media has become critically important to engaging audiences and promoting online "presence" while some wonder how to approach their executives and prove that it is not all hype. With so many ways to engage in Social Media, how can they get buy-in and begin execution with so many different venues and tools available? Staying on the sidelines and becoming a latecomer might make it more difficult to create a convincing "social" presence. Put the overwhelming options aside. Let's see how B2B can step into the world of Social Media by developing a simple strategy and using a few simple tools.

Strategic Partnerships to Infuse Technology in Student AffairsStephanie Cheney
This presentation will be delivered at NASPA in Chicago, March 09, 2010 by a team of Student Affairs and Academic Technology from Wentworth Institute of Technology.
ASC: Integrating Technology into Construction + Engineering CoursesStephanie Cheney
The document discusses integrating learning technologies into engineering and construction courses at Wentworth Institute of Technology. It covers topics like collaboration tools to build collaboration in the classroom, active learning tools to provide more opportunities for student interaction, and communication tools to allow for more student communication. The presentation recommends selecting tools based on skills used rather than the tool itself and employing a variety of assessment methods.
The document presents the outdoor living area of the Fox Residence in Southlake, Texas. It includes a private spa with two chaise lounge options, two patio options, two cabana options, a fire pit, summer kitchen, outdoor living area, and second story patio. Various furnishings and decorations are specified for each area.
El documento presenta definiciones de conceptos como dignidad humana, sociedad, cultura y normas de convivencia. Explica que la dignidad se basa en los derechos iguales de todos los seres humanos. También analiza el cumplimiento o violación de normas y presenta informes sobre una película y un ensayo sobre diamantes de sangre que muestran violaciones a los derechos humanos. Finalmente, propone un cuestionario para fortalecer conocimientos sobre dignidad humana y autoestima.
Six Sigma is a set of techniques and methods for process improvement that aims to reduce defects. When implemented in the hotel industry through training programs, Six Sigma can significantly impact operations and customer satisfaction in several ways:
1. It increases customer loyalty by improving processes and reducing errors and wait times.
2. It reduces costs by minimizing waste and optimizing operations like housekeeping and food production.
3. Surveys of hotel employees found Six Sigma training leads to higher productivity, revenue, and worker satisfaction while lowering turnover.
Using Web 2.0 Tools to Build a Personal Learning NetworkStephanie Cheney
The document discusses using Web 2.0 tools to build a personal learning network (PLN). It defines a PLN as a system for enhancing learning through socially supported interactions. The document recommends getting started with a PLN by keeping it simple, using separate professional and personal tools, ensuring your boss would approve of your activities, and making your knowledge and interests easily discoverable online. Photo credits are provided.
The document discusses 21st century teaching and learning strategies. It notes that the illiterate of the 21st century will be those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Peer production and collaboration will harness human skills more efficiently. Personalized learning provides purpose, direction, and focus to scaffold student learning. Performance increases when students collaborate, create, and contribute.
I presented on this topic last Thursday at the AIIM National Capital Chapter breakfast meeting. I had a great time presenting my view of what the future may hold and talked about some of the clues that we may have been able to pick up at the recent AIIMexpo 2007 in Boston.

Paralysis for B2B
September, 2009
Many companies are well aware that Social Media has become
critically important to engaging audiences and promoting online
"presence" while some wonder how to approach their C-level
executives and prove that it is not all hype. With so many ways
to engage in Social Media, how can they get buy-in and begin
execution with so many different venues and tools available?
Staying on the sidelines and becoming a latecomer might make
it more difficult to create a convincing "social" presence. Put the
overwhelming options aside. Let's see how B2B can step into
the world of Social Media by developing a simple strategy and
using a few simple tools.

Executive Summary
Social Media has become critically important to engaging
audiences and promoting online "presence". The consumer, in
both B2C and B2B, now has more influence and control over
how they choose to engage with your business and how you
reach them. While many businesses have embraced Social
Media, some with extraordinary success, many are still standing
on the sidelines wondering if they should use Social Media and, if
so, how to successfully engage. Much of the information
available about using Social Media is geared to B2C. Many B2B
organizations wonder how they can participate and even
question whether Social Media is useful for their organization.
There are endless ways of using Social Media for B2B, so much
that some companies may defer participation because they are
not sure of how to build a Social Media plan to enter into this
exciting and ever-changing medium. Many online "How To"
resources and blogs, for example, provide extensive lists of
Social Media tools with very general overviews of their
functionality, further overwhelming those trying to figure out
where to start. Companies can get over Social Media Paralysis by
starting with a few popular tools, an understanding of "best
practices" and guidelines on measuring success.
Rest assured that understanding how
to measure results will keep
overcoming paralysis from becoming
a Social Media addiction.
5.
1.0 What is Social Media?
Social Media has gained popularity because consumers - B2C and B2B - have
been changing the ways they obtain information. In the past, we tended to
receive information. It was pushed to us. The marketer decided what
messages we would get and how we would receive it. Companies pushed
their messages to us and we either reacted or we did not. Marketers centered
on traditional methods of reminding their existing customer base about their
products and services. To increase the customer base they focused on tried
and true methods that relied on the belief that customers needed repetitive
messages to become aware of a brand or to be driven to taking action.
And we fell for it!
But as Internet technology progressed, we became able to do a lot of
interesting things wherever and whenever we wanted. We can shop, watch
TV, listen to music, share files, watch webinars, research, study, play games,
join groups with people that share common interests, share photos, get
frequent (sometimes too frequent) updates from friends, and on and on.
And then we took back control!
These days those same consumers who are bombarded with messages, have
become increasingly able to block them out. The playing field was leveled.
You're not answering your customer service line? Fantastic, I'll tell the world
about my problem on Twitter. Maybe someone there can help me. Sorry about
the bad PR, I tried calling. Your sales guy keeps calling me and he has sent all
kinds of pretty brochures and given me lots of information. But can the
company he represents really deliver? After all, the guy needs his paycheck.
Maybe he's just good at sales. So I am going to go online and research and
see what other people are saying about your company by searching what HAS
BEEN via Google and then I'm going to look on Twitter and on LinkedIn and
see what people are saying now. And I might even start asking questions and
have conversations with your current and former customers about your
company.
Want to be part of that conversation?
6.
Yes, now companies are challenged with finding ways to engage the customer
base and prospects without being tuned out: enter Social Media.
Today it’s about the masses finding YOU. They want to know what is
happening right now. And they're not going to just take your word for it. Take
the auto industry in the USA for example: are customers making buying
decisions based on nostalgia or about how a car meets their specific needs
"right now"? If nostalgia were the answer, would the biggest US auto
manufactures be facing a crisis?
Social Media allows you to engage with the masses in real time or "near real
time". Imagine how the auto crisis could have played out differently if a few
years ago the industry could have easily followed what consumers (including
fleet buyers) were openly saying about their products, the competition's
products?
Social Media is a 24/7 Focus Group.
