At Doccle we give end users a key role in the organization that lets them influence the future of our digital platform. In this presentation you will find out how we put this community-driven vision into practice. Do not hesitate to contact us with your feedback or to ask some questions.
The document discusses the changing skills needed for media teams in 2011. It notes that the traditional agency model is obsolete and that clients want smaller, more nimble and innovative teams. It presents four options for the agency of the future: 1) large networks/multinationals which offer size and expertise but risk bureaucracy; 2) a team of specialized agencies which offers client-focused expertise but risks interagency conflicts; 3) adaptable networks which are lean, innovative and generation Y-compatible but still need some structure; and 4) crowdsourcing which offers global reach, local knowledge and is cheap, fast and nimble but risks losing client relationships and trust.

The document discusses the changing skills needed for media teams in 2011. It notes that the traditional agency model is obsolete and that clients want smaller, more nimble and innovative teams. It presents four options for the agency of the future: 1) large networks/multinationals which provide size and expertise but risk bureaucracy; 2) a team of specialized agencies which provides multiple client touchpoints but risks interagency conflicts; 3) adaptable networks which are lean, tap freelance talent and have less bureaucracy but still need some structure; and 4) crowdsourcing which provides global reach and local knowledge at low cost but risks losing client relationships and trust.
The document discusses public and leadership in the context of complex problems. It notes that leadership requires inquiry and asking better questions rather than always having the answers. Complex problems cannot be solved through expected solutions alone. The document also discusses public participation in decision making, noting that processes should involve the public in problem solving and decision making, seek their input, provide needed information, and communicate how public input affected outcomes.
A presentation with 80% new content on social tagging. This covers "faces of perception", "depth of perception", and perception matrix, which greatly helps to analyze, research, and build social software. Enterprise uses of social bookmarking and their concerns are also included.
Here's your chance to find out more about one of MCA Connect's Dynamics 365 (AX) Delivery Services Organization (DSO) Managers. Learn about what Dan looks for in new team members, the opportunities that are possible, and what his management style is like.
The document discusses how businesses need to manage risk in today's wired world by understanding stakeholders and their perceptions. It notes that the business environment and competitive landscape have changed dramatically in recent years with the rise of social media and new technologies. The document provides advice on how companies can monitor social media to understand stakeholders, prevent risks, and inform business strategy using the example of case studies. It emphasizes that managing reputation effectively in this new environment requires listening to stakeholders and communicating what matters to them.

This document discusses verbal cues and language that community housing organizations can use when presenting and interacting with clients. It suggests framing non-profit roles as focusing on social services rather than compensation. It also recommends using terms like "housing counselor" rather than "community customer", framing services as enabling personal goals rather than addressing obstacles, and emphasizing options available rather than the threat of losing a home. The document advises moving away from terms like "client" and "case management" toward a focus on education, workshops and informational sessions. It cautions that language affects perception and recommends focusing on what organizations are truly selling or enabling.

Social Media Strategy Development for Publishers, by ACS InfotechACS Infotech Pvt Ltd
We make Social Media add value to your Publishing House. We have experience of what Social Media activities proved valuable to a range of Publishers. We help you effectively manage your online presence.
How do you build a social organization? We're not talking about tweeting and posting updates on Facebook. We're talking about an organization that collaborates internally using an enterprise social network (ESN). An ESN is an internal platform designed to foster collaboration, communication, and knowledge sharing among employees.
If your company doesn’t use an ESN, consider more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies partially or fully implemented an enterprise social network by the end of 2013, according to Deloitte analysis. This is a 70 percent increase over 2011.
We live in an age where marketing has been undergoing radical changes at such a rate that we’re still developing the best ways to accomplish work successfully. Each of the major aspects of digital marketing has developed in their own silos. Now we can gain enormous economies and efficiencies through more internal collaboration and by tearing down those silos.
In this webinar, our panelists will share:
-Company cultures that support information sharing and collaboration.
-How to identify which business areas can benefit from increased communication.
-Tips on choosing software for your company’s, department’s, and team’s needs.
-Social networks aimed at businesses.
-Ways to improve participation in enterprise social networks.

This document outlines 10 lessons for solution architects from an Association for All IT Architects. It summarizes each lesson in 1-2 sentences:
1. Solution architects should take ownership of technical products as they design solutions and emerging designs must be proven as architecture.

3. Architectural decisions are key objects that must manage stakeholders, quality attributes, and ecosystem design rather than just systems. Effective engagement models are needed.
The document discusses the importance of actively engaging stakeholders in projects from the beginning. It recommends making projects transparent and inviting stakeholders to participate from day 1 to create a partnership.

Some challenges to social media implementation include managing unbillable time and protecting confidential information.

The document discusses the need for corporate, organizational, and societal transformation to stay relevant and prosper in a time of disruption and digitalization.

It defines co-creation as a technique for engaging stakeholders to create and test new concepts and solutions.

It argues that co-creation could help involve more employees in sustainability efforts and overcome cynicism towards traditional employee engagement approaches.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
