According to surveys, when asked about the importance of enterprise social networking, over 70% of companies already use social technologies but many are not realizing their full potential benefits. Implementing social platforms can boost organizational productivity by 20-25% by improving collaboration, information searching, and reducing email use. Potential benefits of enterprise social networks include increased productivity, collaboration, and access to information, but adoption is still held back by some organizations.

The document discusses social media policies in the workplace. It begins by posing the question of whether social media content belongs to the institution or employee. It then notes that while social media is beneficial for businesses, employees sometimes use it in ways that harm the employer like publishing proprietary information. The solution proposed is for companies to have clear social media policies governing personal use on company time and compliance with other policies. However, the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that companies cannot control employees' personal accounts or prohibit legal complaints. A good social media policy needs to balance employer interests with worker rights.

Social media tools have added more visibility to your brand, providing a channel for anyone’s unique thoughts, opinions and experiences to be distributed to the world almost instantaneously.

This document discusses opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam to grow their businesses online. It notes that internet usage and smartphone adoption are growing rapidly in Vietnam. This enables SMEs to get online to be found more easily by customers via search engines and maps. The document provides recommendations for SMEs to create a mobile-friendly website, ensure accurate business information is available online, promote their business online starting small and expanding if successful, or getting help from an expert. With these steps, SMEs can get online quickly.
This document discusses the prevalence and impact of social media use both personally and professionally. It notes that social media has become ingrained in everyday life for most Americans and has significantly changed how work is conducted and employees are recruited. However, increased social media use also presents risks if not properly managed, such as possible privacy issues and damage to companies' reputations from employees' social media posts. The document advocates for companies to develop social media policies and training to mitigate risks and maximize benefits.

This document discusses the rise of mobile media and its importance for community engagement. It notes that mobile usage is growing rapidly and will soon surpass desktop usage. It encourages organizations to make their websites mobile-friendly and to consider text alerts and mobile-optimized emails to better reach community members who are increasingly using smartphones and tablets. The document provides examples of responsive design and mobile apps that organizations could emulate. It concludes by asking questions about the reader's own mobile usage and their community's mobile trends to help guide next steps in adopting a mobile strategy.
The document discusses both the positive and negative impacts of social media. It notes that social media allows people to create and share information online, but some view it as having a negative effect on society. Both sides are discussed as the text explores how social media is used for networking, photo sharing, communicating updates, finding people with similar interests, and voicing opinions to large audiences. It also outlines benefits to businesses for promotion, advertising, and connecting with potential customers at low cost. Concerns are raised around impacts to productivity, both positive when enabling better collaboration, and negative when distracting from work.
Management, organizational, and technological factors can impede adoption of internal corporate social networks. Management issues include a lack of incentives for employees to use new social software. Organizational issues include resistance to change from employees accustomed to traditional work practices. Technological issues include social networks that are difficult to use, lack relevant content, and do not demonstrate clear job benefits. For example, NASA's internal social network called Spacebook failed because it did not consider organizational culture and politics or explain how the network would help employees' work.

Neville Hobson discusses how social media has become disruptive and changed how people engage with technology and each other. Younger generations in particular get their content through mobile devices and trust peers over experts. Many companies have embraced social media for business purposes. While some companies fear security risks and loss of control with social media, the benefits of using it to connect with customers and increase productivity outweigh these concerns when done properly with employee training and clear policies. Companies that are most prepared for social media crises permit employee access rather than prohibit it.
OHSPRA's Why Websites Matter Presentation at Capital ConferenceShane Haggerty
The document discusses why websites are important for organizations. It notes that traditional media usage is declining while internet availability and fragmented audiences are increasing.

The document provides insights on video platform use and metrics for judging online video success.
Nicole Black presents on the ethics of using social media for marketing legal services. She notes that social media has surpassed pornography as the top internet activity and that lawyers cannot afford to not engage with major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The presentation provides tips on using social media effectively for networking, expertise, and business development while staying on the right side of ethics.

Startup Stage - B2B Services - Presentation by Vasilis Tsolis, Co-Founder of Cognitiv+ at the Axel Springer NOAH Conference Berlin 2016, Tempodrom on the 9th of June 2016.
This document discusses how law firms can future proof themselves through disaster planning and remote work capabilities. It emphasizes that lawyers have an ethical obligation to plan for business continuity and maintain communication with clients. This includes having remote access to client files and data, implementing secure communication technologies, and developing policies for working remotely. The document also provides guidance on reopening law offices safely, such as creating a reopening committee, developing health and safety protocols, and configuring the office space to protect employees and clients.
The document provides strategies for staying productive during COVID-19 and beyond. It discusses focusing on happiness by doing things that make you happy, getting organized through proper file naming conventions, limiting interruptions and multitasking to find focus, planning your work weeks and days in advance, and taking care of yourself through sleep, breaks, and exercise. The presentation aims to provide lawyers with practical tips for maintaining productivity while working remotely.
As the COVID-19 epidemic hits its projected peak in many parts of the United States, law firms face significant changes in the way they operate financially and operationally. In our recent webinar panel, attorneys Todd Spodek, Al Provinziano, and Mark Metzger shared their unique experiences of securing their businesses financially and operationally to withstand the economic uncertainties of the pandemic.
In times of unprecedented business disruption, it can be challenging to keep your firm’s day-to-day operations on track. However, clients need assurance their cases are still being handled, your staff needs to work in sync to remain productive, and your firm needs to keep its cash flow moving.
You can’t wing it when it comes to law firm financials. In order to run a successful law firm, you need to be numbers-oriented and vigilant in deriving insights from your performance. Your finances have to run on rails. To that end, visibility into your firm’s revenue, accounts receivable, and cash flow are your gateway to increased profitability.
You can’t wing it when it comes to law firm financials. In order to run a successful small law firm, you need to become a numbers guy, or gal. Your finances have to run on rails; you have to remain in control. To that end, visibility into your firm’s profitability, billing productivity and account receivables are your gateways to increased revenue.
Law firms spend a significant amount of time and money attracting new clients, but many struggle to manage them beyond the initial touchpoint. Implementing a strong lead and intake process can help your firm convert more referrals into paying clients, grow monthly revenue, and lower the cost to acquire clients.
Want to grow your firm? Historically, you could charge more per hour or hire an associate. But what if there was a third way? Technology facilitates access to high-quality legal expertise at a surprisingly reasonable cost. Using freelance and contract legal help, you can do more work, grow your firm, and help more clients.
Whether at the end of the day or the end of the month, hard-working lawyers often look back and wonder why their billable time just doesn’t seem to measure up to all the long hours they spend in the office. Discover ways to detect holes in your system, as well as how to develop patches for the recurring leaks you have known about and struggled with for years.
This document summarizes the key factors to consider when evaluating on-premise versus cloud-based law practice management software. It discusses cost in terms of upfront, ongoing, and long-term expenses. Security is addressed, noting advantages of both on-premise control and cloud vendor expertise. Functionality such as implementation, customization, and mobile access is also compared. Connectivity depends on location and internet capabilities. Ethical obligations to protect client data apply regardless of the system chosen. The presentation aims to help firms decide which approach best fits their needs and capabilities.
Law firms usually view technology as being grafted onto existing, offline office systems. But, reformatting your law practice based on the features of a law practice management system is a coherent and effective way to build a better law firm.
Law practice demands are tough, especially in the digital age. Clients want more for less, and thus running an efficient law practice is more important than ever. Automating tasks can help you save time, reduce mistakes, enhance client service, and improve your bottom line (and maybe even give you time to take a break).
Social Media can be a powerful marketing tool for your law firm. But without a macro strategy in place or an understanding of the ethical implications of posting online, you may find yourself losing money or even violating statutory prohibitions.
Perhaps you're generating interest and traffic from online marketing, but are having a hard time converting it into paying clients. In this webinar, we explore some of the most common issues preventing lawyers from turning traffic into clients.
Since its 26.2 billion dollar acquisition by Microsoft at the end of 2016, we've begun to see an awakening by skeptics and users alike as to the possibilities that lie within LinkedIn to stand up and stand out. Many attorneys are turning to the revamped platform to connect with clients, potential clients, influencers, and others important to the growth of their practice.
Practicing at the top of your law license means that you’re doing those creative things that lawyers get paid the most money for. It means you’re not getting paid to answer phone calls. You’re not getting paid to schedule appointments with clients. You’re not getting paid to get coffee for someone. You’re ARE getting paid to do the high level creative work that lawyers do: creating strategies, crafting briefs, and in some cases conducting legal research.
Billing by the hour, though seemingly more profitable for law firms, presents a compounding conflict of interest between an attorney and their clients. For this reason, many lawyers celebrate the transition to a packaged flat-fee billing model — introducing predictability, incentive to make progress, and even a competitive advantage for their firms.
This document discusses considerations for law firms moving their practices to the cloud. It outlines common concerns raised by those hesitant to adopt cloud-based solutions, and argues that cloud services can address these concerns. Specifically, the document notes that cloud providers offer strong security protections, reliable data access and availability, lower costs over time, and compliance with ethics rules. It provides tips for firms successfully transitioning to the cloud, including inventorying their systems, researching providers, developing a project plan, and focusing on security throughout the process. The overall message is that cloud computing has become a safe, cost-effective and responsible option for modern law practices.
Rainmaking is simple, but it’s not easy. It takes deliberate actions on your part as an attorney to create the practice of your dreams. And it all starts with a plan. Build and execute your own rainmaking plan, tailored to your life and your career to make 2018 the best year ever!
Is it possible to improve your law practice and your life at the same time?Yes! You really can increase your productivity and improve your practice and your life. Every day, lawyers help to change their clients’ lives for the better. But all too often, you can lose sight of this reality and get caught up in your hectic daily routine.
Now, it’s time for you to change your life for the better.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
