This document discusses how corporations should prioritize their social business budgets based on their maturity level. It summarizes data from a survey of 140 corporate social strategists on adoption and spending across 12 social business categories. Key findings include: 1) Spending on staff to manage social business will increase significantly but training/education will remain underfunded; 2) Companies will invest heavily in social network ads but may not truly engage customers; 3) Advanced companies will spend nearly 3 times more on boutique agencies than traditional agencies. The document provides spending benchmarks to guide social business investments based on a company's maturity as novice, intermediate, or advanced.
Social media is the modern Pandora’s box: it has had a meteoric rise as a tool to interact and engage with customers, but also a dark underside exposing companies to new types of risk. Almost two-thirds of companies surveyed say that social media is a significant or critical risk to their brand reputation, yet 60% of companies either never train their employees about their corporate social media policies or do so only upon hiring. This report outlines how to be more proactive about managing social media risk through following a detailed four-step process: Identify, Assess, Mitigate, and Evaluate.
Digital Brands & Live Experiences: Connecting with Your Audience IRLPBJS
For brands that exist solely in the realm of zeros and ones, connecting with users in real life can seem like a big leap – one digital brands must take if they want to build lasting consumer relationships. Why? With a fresh awareness of the consequences of ultra-personalized media “bubbles,” consumers are grappling with their digital choices, which also affects their perception of brands they only interact with through digital devices. The result is an environment where the pull of live experiences, where digital brands can hybridize their consumer relationships, is becoming stronger -- and more important than ever.
In this paper, we outline and explore:
- The cultural landscape digitally native brands inhabit
- Consumer, tech and marketing trends
- The benefits digital brands can gain through meeting their audiences offline
- How digital brands can make meaningful real-life connections
Optimising Digital Collaboration From the Inside OutMSL
Companies have come a long way using social media, collaborative tools and social networks to connect people, information and company assets in more effective ways. With many seeing significant improvements in operations, people satisfaction and bottom line results. Among the lessons learned is that it’s not just about technology. Determining digital collaboration’s role, how it will be used and how to incorporate it into company culture are what really matters.
One-in-two mobile owners in the US owns a smartphone, and many more own tablets. As most of these same consumers adapt their personal lifestyle to be “mobile first,” they expect their employers to be there to meet them. With the growing number of personal mobile devices in the hands of users, as well as increasingly remote organizations , there’s a great opportunity for organizations to increase productivity of their employees by allowing the use of these personal devices. Taking this on seems daunting, as IT has less ability to enforce a single standard than ever before. Not taking action, however, and ignoring this trend risks exposing corporate data to public clouds with no visibility on the part of IT. Enforcing a single standard will do a lot to serve all users partially, but none particularly well. "Power to the People: Identify and Empower Your Workforce," the new report by Altimeter Group analyst Chris Silva explores how companies are deploying mobile strategies to meet the the specific needs of their employees and the organization at large.

State of influence 2.0 by Brian Solis and TraackrBrian Solis
A groundbreaking report on the state and future of influencer marketing by Brian Solis and Traackr. What if influencer marketing was more than marketing? What if it was about the end-to-end customer or employee experience?
Welcome to a new era of marketing; an era where brands are shaped by the people who experience them. In a world where most consumers are connected, the experiences that they have and share online collectively shape their perceptions, impressions and actions. To a certain extent, all connected consumers are becoming influential in their own ways.
Influence has never been more import- ant. Every year, global communica- tions marketing firm Edelman pub- lishes its “Trust Barometer” report that captures the sentiment of trust in a variety of industries and scenarios. In its 2017 edition1, Edelman learned that the credibility of CEOs was at its lowest level ever. At the same time, the report found that trust in peers, or “a person like yourself,” is as cred- ible a source of information about a company as a technical or academic expert. Without trust, brand market- ing may fall upon skeptical, distrusting or altogether inattentive audiences.
By partnering with the right influenc- ers, or people who tell the right stories in the right context by delivering value at each step, brands can reach people through those they trust while earning trust in the process.

The End of Business as Usual by Brian Solis is available on GetAbstract for those who need the key takeaways but don't have the time to read the entire book.
Takeaways:
The digital revolution is radically transformative for businesses. These changes are not just technological. They directly affect consumer behavior. Companies that cannot adapt to these changes face obsolescence. Businesses used to define their brands. Today, “connected consumers” define them. Companies must connect with consumers on a personal basis. They must treat consumers as valued partners, not just as sales targets.
To build relationships and win sales, companies need to create satisfying experiences for their connected consumers. The way people connect online activates distribution chains that rival any broadcast network. To earn the trust of connected customers, businesses must engage them online in a positive way. You must appeal to customers’ emotions. Through such engagement, businesses stay relevant and build a robust future.
What You Will Learn
1) What strategies will help you exploit the nature, extent and impact of the digital revolution; 2) What influence “connected consumers” wield; and 3) How organizations can engage them effectively.
Despite an overwhelming trend toward content marketing and the need to continually feed an ever-increasing portfolio of content channels and formats, most organizations have not yet addressed content on either a strategic or tactical level. This report explores scalable organizational models for addressing content needs across the enterprise and makes recommendations for a holistic program.
In this issue of the People’s Insights monthly briefs, we cover three big innovations launched by Apple, Amazon and Google; three new approaches to Black Friday from TD Bank, Santander Bank and Patagonia; and two examples of upcycling by Southwest Airlines and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

[Report] The State of Social Business 2013: The Maturing of Social Media into...Brian Solis
Altimeter Group conducts regular social business surveys to learn how social media is evolving within enterprise organizations. Analysis of survey results between 2010-2013 reveal that social media is extending deeper into organizations and, at the same time, strategies are maturing. What was previously a series of initiatives driven by marketing and PR is now evolving into a social business movement that looks to scale and integrate social across the organization. The following report reveals how businesses are expanding social efforts and investments. As social approaches its first decade of enterprise integration, we still see experimentation in models and approach. There is no one way to become a social business. Instead, social businesses evolve through a series of stages that ultimately align social media strategies with business goals.

Leading Trends in Retail Innovation by Brian SolisBrian Solis
Leading digital analyst, anthropologist and keynote speaker Brian Solis shares insights from his research into the most progressive retailers changing the innovation game.
Work with Brian on research, advisory/strategy or have him speak at your event or with your executives. brian@briansolis.com - www.briansolis.com
To understand the state of retail innovation, Brian interviewed 12 top retail executives at some of the industry’s most-recognized brands. He set out to learn how leading retailers are responding to digital disruptions — and staying ahead of them. We also aimed to uncover the challenges they face and the strategies that are making an impact.
His interviews and third-party research showed that retailers engage in these five strategies:
Constantly map the customer journey to create smooth cross-channel customer experiences.
Engage in deep consumer research.
Prioritize innovations that target the connected consumer.
Invest in formal innovation programs.
Cultivate the necessary digital skills across the organization.
The insights from some of the most successful retailers can offer guidance on how to stave off disruption and keep pace with an evolving retail landscape.

For brands today, the complexity of social business is steadily compounding. For every additional variable — each account, customer conversation, business unit, location, language, distributor, etc. — social media becomes a greater challenge. Meanwhile, brands struggle to prepare appropriately and adopt the right technology. This report includes four case studies that demonstrate how brands are addressing social media proliferation.
Social technologies radically disrupted communications, marketing, and customer care. With these same technologies, customers are now sharing products and services with each other, bypassing existing institutions. Beyond business functions, the Collaborative Economy will impact core business models. This report defines the Collaborative Economy, looks at companies that are already moving into this space, and provides a framework, the Collaborative Economy Value Chain, which companies can use to help rethink their business models.

The Real Value Of A Non-profit Why Social Return On Investment Matters.pptxLouisJeanFoundation1
Over the past few years, social return on investment (SROI) has slowly but surely made its way into the mainstream. Though it’s been around since 1999, there are still plenty of misconceptions about this evaluation method. In reality, SROI helps non-profits measure impact and grow sustainably so they can achieve lasting change in the world and bring about greater social good – just like they want to do.

SWOTT Analysis
Before a company develops strategies, they must take time to assess the positive and negative factors which impact their future. The SWOTT analysis provides a method to consider the internal forces: strengths and weaknesses; and then the external forces: opportunities, threats, and trends. Internal and external audits identify the specific forces the business faces. The SWOTT table segments these forces into positive, negative, and trend buckets. The company may directly impact or influence some factors if the business adapts to change. Although many external forces are out of reach, the supply chain can be a source of significant opportunities and threats which are actionable. Once compiled, the SWOTT analysis provides a synthesized view of the organizational challenges. This framework guides decisions on which issues to mitigate and which opportunities to pursue for a competitive advantage (David & David, 2017). As an example of the process, Sony Corporation is a large organization facing many forces as shown here through a SWOTT analysis.
