Editor's Notes
- 20 yrs ago, the only way you were going to have a piece of sophisticated SW, was if your IT department had spend millions on a piece of enterprise software 10 yrs ago, business leaders started to be able to rent rather sophisticated software in the form of the first SaaS applications. However, these apps essentially were still based on the same command & control paradigm as the earlier client server/web applications. They were created from the perspective of management and its control of employees It was just a more efficient form of delivery. In the last 2-3 years, all of us have adopted very nice social applications on the web. Whether its Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, they all give you very sophisticated functionality. You find it useful else the growth wouldn’t have been there, yet no-one was holding a gun to your head to adopt them. You deemed it useful, so you signed up ! If someone adopts social crm what do you advise business leaders to do ? Lead by example Be part of the conversation Do’s and don’ts when adopting social applications; Don’t worry too much about control, you cant control everything, just be sensible about rules. Or as MS says ‘don’t be stupid’ Involve all departments in setting your strategy – including service !
