Employee collaboration in a digital universe: The rise of the Enterprise Soci...Ralph J. Davila, APR
The rise of Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs), such as Yammer, Jive, Tibbr and others, have become the hot trend in mid- to large-size organizations seeking better ways to connect employees in real-time, particularly via mobile devices.
A major factor in the need and growth of ESNs at organizations spawns from vast shifts in the way employees now work. With increases in the remote workforce population, from flexible working environments to geographically disparate teams, ESNs help bridge those communications gaps.
This deck is a compilation of a five-part blog series on how to successfully deploy an ESN at your organization.

Building a Better Intranet: Moving From Frustration to Effective CollaborationC5 Insight
It's a fact: the way we work is changing. As our digital tools grow rapidly and become more sophisticated, are we really better off? Is an Intranet still relevant in today’s digital world? If so, then why do 60-80% of organizations that try to implement Intranets and other social collaboration initiatives continue to struggle with their effectiveness?
In this session, learn not only how the Intranet, but our users have evolved over time, and see how small changes in your approach can yield huge returns on your Intranet investment. In addition, learn the overarching themes that cause organizations to struggle with their Intranet, and get 10 practical tips that you can begin to implement today.
At the end of the day, organizations don't care about Intranets - they care about results - and this session will show you how to (re)shape your Intranet so that it delivers enhanced user adoption, improved employee engagement, increased productivity, and a lasting changing within your organization.
Like the fingerprint, a brand is a company's unique signature. Branding has the power to promote loyalty, culture, and company values from the inside out. With a focus on internal branding, practitioners must create compelling experiences for internal stakeholders that carries over to the external customer experience.

The Evolution of the Intranet: Why Collaborative Intranets are More Critical ...C5 Insight
Collaboration as we know it has changed dramatically over the years. It wasn't that long ago that we had to make a concerted effort to connect with one another; now that same effort is required to disconnect. So why do organizations continue to struggle to connect with employees, customers and partners?
Collaboration tools are both numerous and sophisticated, but are we really better off? If we have the tools, the technology and the will, then why aren't we doing a better job with collaboration in our organizations? In short: Is a company that has a robust Intranet and can truly work together better nothing more than a myth - a lofty goal to which we aspire but will never attain?
In this session, the speaker will tackle these questions and more, taking an in-depth look into why collaboration projects fails to meet our expectations and what organizations can do today to forge new connections, become more productive, increase employee engagement, and build an Intranet that fosters a culture of collaboration.
Listen in for a quick "Tips in 20" webinar to learn how to build a strategic framework that will allow your online community to evolve and achieve ongoing success.
Presentation by Charlene Li at Adobe Summit, March 7, 2013 in Salt Lake City, UT.

"The Engaged Leader" at SXSW InteractiveCharlene Li
Presentation by Charlene Li at SXSW Interactive, Austin, TX on Saturday, March 14, 2015 (Pi Day)
Title: Creating A Digital Engagement Strategy for Leaders
Description: Digital and social technologies have revolutionized relationships – and leadership is not immune. Despite the pressure to engage, leaders remain on the sidelines, paralyzed by fear and the unknown. We’ll look at how leaders can use technology to listen, share, and engage with employees and customers, at scale. We’ll also discuss common objections and concerns of leaders – and how to address them.
This document adapted from Groundswell walks you through how to develop a comprehensive social media strategy using the "POST" methodology. The worksheet is designed specifically for youth in Systems of Care.

We'll examine the challenges and opportunities that digital creates, and the crucial role that HR leaders play in bringing about the transformation needed to help your organization thrive in the digital era.
Presentation at Seminarium Peru on 15 November 2012 by Charlene Li in Lima. Two presentations were given.
Speech #1: Creating A Successful Social Business Marketing Strategy
With almost a billion members, Facebook's growth and stature is representative of the maturing social media landscape. Social technologies are no longer a bright shiny object, instead representing valuable relationships that require a coherent strategy and disciplined execution.
This session will make a case that social technologies should be a mainstay of your marketing program rather than a second cousin of interactive marketing. We'll look at the implications of this priority shift, using case studies from companies who are making changes to their overall business and marketing programs. We'll also go through a checklist of the actions you'll need to prioritize to be successful.
Speech #2: Title: Marketing In The Era Of Social Technologies
The excitement around social media often centers on the technologies -- Facebook, blogs, Twitter, etc. etc. But this is the wrong approach. Rather than think about crafting a strategy around social technologies, leaders should be pondering how they can use social technologies to support and strengthen customer relationships.
For many, Groundswell was the book that broke down barriers to accepting social technologies as an opportunity to make their businesses better. Open Leadership picks up where Groundswell left off, showing leaders how to open up business and create a culture that will make social media adoption–and on a greater level, adoption of a social business model–possible and successful.
We'll be looking at the art -- and the science -- of how to tap into the power of customers and employees, including examples of what organizations and leaders are successfully doing today, as well as how to get your organization started.
Altimeter presents research, case studies and process for creating a social media program. Also includes a brief introduction to Altimeter Academy which supports social media training programs for organizations.
A Brave New World - Where Conference KeynoteCharlene Li
Keynote at Where Conference, April 3, 2012 by Charlene Li.
Description: Our personal devices provide endless streams of data set in context of who we are, where we are, who we know, and what we do. But what can we realistically expect the future to look like, and how soon will it be before it gets here? The key is to understand what new opportunities are unleashed through the combination of these different contextual data – and overlay what is probably given business model, social, technology, and political constraints. We’ll also look at what this brave new world means in terms of actions you must take today.
Altimeter Report: Making The Business Case For Enterprise Social NetworkingCharlene Li
In 2011, the US hit a milestone — more than half of all adults visit social networking sites at least once a month. But when it comes to using social-networking technologies inside organizations, many business leaders are at a loss to understand what value can be created from Facebook-like status updates within the enterprise. Some organizations have deployed social-networking features with an initial enthusiastic reception, only to see these early efforts wither to just a few stalwart participants. The problem: Most companies approach enterprise social networks as a technology deployment and fail to understand that the new relationships created by enterprise social networks are the source for value creation. In this first of two reports, Altimeter looks at four ways enterprise social networks create value for organizations.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

http://www.schoolleadership20.com/forum/topics/district-uses-social-media-to-communicate-with-parentsSuperintendent Devin Vodickatook over Vista unified district (in northern San Diego County) in July 2012.One of his first moves was to recommend a policy that dictates how educators and administrators should use social media sites.Since then, the number of district officials using the sites to communicate with the public has exploded.From interview: In 2 months, we went from 0 schools to ¾ of schools on social media. We created the policy, and told schools – follow the policy, and we’ll support you.
http://vistaunified.blogspot.com/This was his first post.
http://vistaunified.blogspot.com/His second post was a short Google 3 question survey he embedded – asking the community for feedback. He received 113 comments from the community, and shared some insights through a word cloud in his fourth post.
http://vistaunified.blogspot.com/His third post was a YouTube video he created to introduce himself. From interview: “I was astonished with the number of hits I was getting on it as I was transitioning into this new role.There was a great appetite from the community to use these resources.”
http://vistaunified.blogspot.com/2012/12/safety-concerns-form-for.htmlFrom interview: “After shooting in Newtown, we streamlined a process for people to give us input. We used Google docs, made a form embed in blog, tweeted it, distributed through traditional channels. We’ve got quite a few suggestions on how to improve that safety process. Anything that was concern. It really revealed to us where the needs were most prevalent. 82 comments.”
No specific example provided, but I thought this was another interesting insight that a lot of Sups may be able to relate to.

Coast is a better example of a school using social media in the classroom than to communicate with the external community. But I thought you could say administrators are setting an example as students are already using social media. 3 examples you might want to bring up.Pic 1: From interview: “We found Final Cut King, he came to middle school - did presentation on YouTube”Pic 3: They use Edmoto – looks like Facebook but private. Closed garden for students, parents have access through child accounts, they can see what their students, at my site all teachers and students use itPic 2: From interview: “Because we’re 1-1 with iPads we have an outstanding after school program. Students are creating professional quality content by the end of 8th grade. Preparing kids for the real world

This "Class III" district consists of six elementary buildings, one middle school building, and one senior high building.December 14, 2012Dear Parents and Guardians: Today’s sad news regarding events in Connecticut may raise questions of concern from our children. Young children need to feel that the world is a secure and predictable place. Many typical childhood fears resurface or become heightened when they hear about tragic events.The following suggestions may be helpful for parents and guardians to use when talking with children about their fears.• Model a positive attitude. Children take their cues from adults. While acknowledging trauma, focus on helping your child develop compassion, strength, and a sense that they have control over life’s challenges.• Use the “three C’s” in dealing with fears – communication, control, and compassion. Communicate with your child about their feelings, help them gain control over their feelings, and always show compassion.• Try not to overreact in regard to the event in front of your child. This can cause more anxiety. Reduce the amount of TV they watch in regard to the event. • Never say a fear is silly. It is very real to your child. When a child is afraid, they need to feel that those around them will help and protect them.• Encourage, but don’t force communication. In a calm manner, talk about your own feelings. Language gives a sense of control, so put words to your child’s fears. Let them know that they can always come to you. Our school counselor and others will be available to assist any child who needs to talk about today’s events this coming week and beyond. Please reassure your child that his or her school has plans in place to protect them and for emergencies. Sincerely,HASTINGS PUBLIC SCHOOLSCraig KautzSuperintendent

She says that with coverage of the shooting dominating the news, it may be difficult for children to escape and any emotions they experience are "normal."

But if someone is not there to monitor it, you can get flamed.”
