Editor's Notes
- The business world can be surprisingly clueless about human interaction and the one wave that everyone wants to take advantage of is social networking
- Forrester Research reported last year that 27 percent of information workers regularly access web sites that the company doesn’t sanction, (LinkedIn or Google Docs for example), for work purposes. 12 percent download applications not provided by the company, (like video editors), and eight percent are using smart phones and paying for it themselves … for work purposes. IT no longer controls technology within the company, workers do. Calamity? No, just a new way of working — smarter, faster and a breeding ground for innovation. Employees who know their job and collaborate with employees who know their jobs use technology to solve customer problems

IT no longer controls technology within the company, workers do. Calamity? No, just a new way of working — smarter, faster and a breeding ground for innovation. Employees who know their job and collaborate with employees who know their jobs use technology to solve customer problems. It’s actually working, even at large companies, like US retail giant Best Buy – where, on a collaboration platform, with access to a wealth of product, pricing and image data, developers can now implement useful third-party applications to track rapidly dropping retail prices. It all started with a website staffer who used his spare time to adapt a Twitter application. Now it solves problems like how 2 500 hourly staffers can microblog without violating labour laws. These are empowered employees. Pfizer created Pfizerpedia in 2006 when two employees launched a blog and a wiki as individual initiatives. The corporation has leveraged the interactive-community-based tool ever since adoption within the organisation began to snowball. Pfizerpedia grew virally, 13 000 individual users worldwide engaged and contributed within a year of launch. Research institute Hershey Center for Applied Research (HCAR) is a single example of an organisation, inspired by the success of the Pfizer experience, that has launched a similar initiative. The center created KnowledgeMesh , an online meeting ground for the life sciences community, including scientists, researchers, venture capitalists, and educators. Holiday resorts group Vail Resorts turned its media policy around and embraced social media. It hired social media staffers instead of buying magazine ads, and trained the staff on how to turn pictures, videos and tweets into fast-spreading, word-of-mouth ads. At Dell, Manish Mehta manages so many social initiatives that he reports directly to the CMO and runs a council of high level execs who share best practices weekly. And in South Africa, national airline SAA implemented Wildfire in a bold pilot project to create private groups within a larger network to bring 180 managers together and develop strategy across organisational boundaries.
- In the B2B world especially, it’s crucial to step back and look at your business and who your target customer is. A B2B target audience is usually narrower in scope than a B2C audience. B2B is more P2P – people to people. The buyer still wants to buy from a trusted friend, not a logo or a company Content is my best B2B social media lesson. I’ve seen many companies learn that providing interesting content (like video testimonials or how-to information) is a great way to encourage prospects, warm up leads, and convert to sales opportunities. Bring your client’s social media profile information into your CRM system to help your sales folks learn more about your client’s day to day life for the next sale contact cycle.”
