CENTRALIZED
- One department controls all efforts
- Consistent
- May not be as authentic

HUB AND SPOKE
- One hub sets rules and procedures
- Business units undertake own efforts
- Spreads widely around the org
- Takes time
- e.g. Red Cross

MULTIPLE HUB AND SPOKE
OR “DANDELION”
- Similar to Hub and Spoke but across
multiple brands and units
- e.g. HP

HOLISTIC OR “HONEYCOMB”
- Each employee is empowered

market will expect you to maintain the
conversation.
First listen to the conversation then add value to
existing discussions.
Rely on ongoing findings from brand monitoring to
define the “conversation calendar.”

Start with simple sharing features or campaigns
Then, cultivate ongoing relationships with
enthusiastic influencers, not just short-term
campaigns.
Put advocates front and center – and invite them
into the company.
Beyond prospects and customers, leverage
internal evangelists as employee advocates

Key Take-Aways

49. 49
Key Take-Aways
Adapt your mindset. Social technologies requires a
cultural shift – opening up a two-way dialog with
customers. Be prepared for public conversations –
the power has shifted to consumers.
Harness the crowd. 1:1 social media does not scale.
Get the crowd to do the work with you.
Think beyond marketing. Leverage customer
conversations across the customer lifecycle. And,
nurture social business across the organization.
Develop strategy around business goals.
Remember to approach this space with business
objectives first –tools and technologies second.

In the corporate world, it was virtually uncharted territory. We were one of only a small handful of major companies dipping our feet into the waters of executive blogs.We certainly thought we could make Randy’s Journal into something, but at the time we weren’t exactly sure what that might be. Well, I think that as we celebrate 5+ years of blogging, it’s clear that we’ve exceeded even our own expectations.We’ve posted about 450 entries and thousands of comments. Over time our blog has evolved into a really effective medium to interact and share with our own employees and retirees as well as our customers and stakeholders and of course, all of the aviation enthusiasts around the world.” CT: Create triangle http://www.youtube.com/USArmyOctober 27, 2011#military #dialog #advocacy #youtube #hr #recruitment #christine http://www.serve.gov/http://www.serve.gov/share.asphttp://www.serve.gov/link.aspServe.gov is an online resource for not only finding volunteer opportunities in your community, but also creating your own.
