This document outlines a framework for developing a human-centered social media strategy. The framework is divided into three phases: Ready, Set, Go. In the Ready phase, organizations identify their target audience and objectives. In the Set phase, they develop relevant content and stories to inspire the audience and determine which social media channels to use. In the Go phase, organizations implement their editorial calendar, track metrics to measure objectives, and learn how to improve for the future. The overall goal is to create a social strategy focused on understanding and engaging the target audience.

The document outlines 10 principles for facilitating systemic change: 1) Have a holistic vision that addresses individual, social, spiritual, and physical needs; 2) Invite everyone affected to participate; 3) Gather input from many sources to understand the situation fully; 4) Identify underlying factors causing problems; 5) Explore collaborating with other organizations; 6) Build capacity of all participants; 7) Design projects to meet needs and eliminate root causes; 8) Implement projects involving all stakeholders; 9) Establish ongoing evaluation with all stakeholders; 10) Foster transparency by inviting participation in all aspects of projects.
This document discusses how to become a better leader of agile organizations. It notes that the pace of change, austerity, and growing demands require leaders who are collaborative and adaptive. To achieve more for clients and obtain performance uplifts, leaders must spend less time directly managing and more time providing strategic direction. Agile leaders walk a razor's edge by letting organizations feel external pressures, creating fluid roles, allowing conflict to emerge, and encouraging disruption while maintaining core values as a true north.
The document summarizes key events and sessions from the Agile2019 conference. It discusses:
1. Keynote speeches on managing attention, continuous learning, and achieving business agility.
2. Sessions on establishing inclusive norms, making continuous improvement easy, building a modern management mindset, and encouraging diversity.
3. Other sessions on functioning without leaders, using liberating structures for retrospectives, and themes around self-care, mindset, business agility, DevOps, and operationalizing programs.

Adding Snap, Crackle & Pop to Chapter EventsBillhighway
One of the big mysteries these days is why chapter members aren't attending events. While it's easy to blame it on members being busy, this is usually not the reason members don’t attend events. If your chapters are having difficulty with event attendance, it might be time to put some extra effort into the event planning and programming. Join us on this webinar, where we explore what your chapters can do to boost their event attendance.
In this webinar, we cover how to…
• Tap into the desire members have (across generations) to attend live events.
• Curate the right programming for your chapters' audience that meets their need for continual learning.
• Create an event experience that leaves attendees amazed and ready to attend your next event.
This document provides guidance on how to create an effective annual report for a charity. It notes that most charity annual reports are dull and do not effectively communicate information through visuals or connect financial data to the charity's work. The document then discusses the process used by The Blue Cross to redesign their annual report, which involved gathering staff and client feedback, determining themes and audiences, and using photos and case studies. It provides tips for other charities on deciding goals, gathering materials throughout the year, and getting feedback to continue improving annual reports.
This document summarizes a meeting to discuss strategic planning for the Las Cruces Association of Realtors (LCAR). The goals are to review trends, association best practices, and conduct an organizational capacity assessment.

Public relations (PR) involves managing communication between an organization and its various audiences to build mutually beneficial relationships. PR aims to strategically influence outcomes by identifying goals, strategies, objectives and tactics. It requires two-way communication through researching audience needs and perspectives. Effective PR is proactive by establishing goodwill before issues arise and reactive by responding appropriately when problems occur. Key principles include understanding that organizations depend on public consent, practicing two-way communication, acting with integrity before communicating, prioritizing clarity over cleverness, managing expectations proactively, and serving as a bridge rather than a barrier between organizations and their publics.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

4. FORM NETWORKS AROUND A COMMON NEED OR ISSUE
Types of Reasons ‘Why’
• A sudden change in the community
environment or its culture
• Sudden changes in the products or
services of the organization
• A national emergency
4
Clearly create and document ‘why’ there is a need to collaborate
5. WHO SHOULD BE INVITED TO THE NETWORK
AND HOW WILL WE GET TOGETHER?
LogisticsWho To Invited?
• Is the meeting virtual?
• Will presentations or documents be
shared? And, how will participants
provide comments?
• Are there time zone issues?
• If in person, reserve a meeting room
and provide food for meetings longer
than 2 hours, if needed.
• Consider those groups who use or
could use your products or services
in your community
• Which groups are in a position to
collaborate and pay it forward?
• Think about:
o Who can you support?
o Who can you partner with to
make a difference in the
community?
o Key stakeholders
5
6. A COMMON VISION
Jointly create, document and share a ‘vision for transformation’ that indicates a common
understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving it with agreed upon actions
Why a Vision
The vision inspires and focuses
people’s energies and the
community’s attention. It is
motivating, doable, and
observable.
What it looks like
• Begin by asking each team member to write
down a keyword that indicates what the
future would look like if this problem/issue
were solved. No Judgement. No one has to
explain themselves.
• Collect these words, combine, and synthesize
to collaboratively create a vision statement.
• Create and communicate the vision to expand
the network’s direction and excite other
community energy and assets.
6
7. IDENTIFY INDICATORS OF SUCCESS
Ask the group ‘what would success look like’? Develop a short list of indicators at the
community level and across participating organizations that guide data collection.
Balanced Score Card
• Customers: What would their value proposition
look like, currently, for our community and their
customers?
• Learning and Growth: How do we align our
intangible assets---people, systems, and
culture—to maximize our results?
• Internal Processes: What key processes must
we excel at to best support our community?
• Financial: What are our joint expectations for
resource sharing?
Document Short Term Measures
(Examples)
• Each Network group has a channel where they can
voice their preferences.
• Each Network group supplies at least one asset in
people and product/process/service.
• Each Network group identifies one process to
improve the collaboration and how they will
implement it.
• Each Network group shares specific resources.
7
8. ESTABLISH GOALS AND ACTIVITIES FOR EACH GROUP
Encourage each participant group to undertake a specific set of activities for their group,
aligned with the actions of others and creating a mutually reinforcing plan of activity.
Create Group Goals to Achieve
Identified Ends
• Define goals in terms of results that must be achieved
to advance the Network toward its vision.
• Create Goals by Group, written as follows:
o First person
o Present tense
o Positively stated
o Short!
o Emotionally meaningful
EXAMPLE: City Public Works delivers flyers and posts
online volunteer opportunities in the community.
Move to Action
• Record actions specific people volunteer to perform
from each Group and for each Goal.
• Use an Action Plan to capture:
o What activity will be done
o By whom
o By when
• Distribute the Action Plan ASAP after each meeting
8
Activity/Action Who When
9. COMMITMENT TO EVIDENCE-BASED
DECISION MAKING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Review Goals and Actions and determine short term, mid-term and long term actions
Implementing our Community Goals
• Intentionally align the vision, goals
and actions and assure that the
planning is completed from the
‘big picture’ to the ‘grassroots’
and vice versa.
• Acknowledge contributions of
Group members throughout each
meeting.
Communicate the Vision, Goals & Actions
• Continuously communicate the results of
meetings.
• Communication Plans help avoid people making
up stories. Proactive communication is important.
• Communication Plans are charts that document:
o What needs to be said
o Who needs to hear it
o Who needs to say it
o How to say it (medium)
o When to say it
