  marketing will help it share good marketing ideas across both
  brands

  restructure will allow the group to leverage campaigns,
  promotions and CRM across both brands

                 Come gather 'round people
                        Wherever you roam
                          And don’t criticise
                 What you can't understand
              Your sons and your daughters
                 Are beyond your command
                             Your old road is
                                Rapidly agin‘
            Then you better start swimmin’
                   Or you'll sink like a stone
           For the times they are a-changin’
                                      ENERGISE2-0.COM
The times they are a changin'

• Current leading-edge thinking is that we are on the verge
  of another tectonic shift: from Social Media to Social
  Business

• A Social Business is one that develops innovative new
  work methods and processes by applying social thinking,
  social strategy, social culture, social organisation and
  social technologies to everything it does (internally as
  well as externally)

• Organisations who ‘get this’ will survive and prosper -
  those who don’t will become 21st century dinosaurs
                                                     ENERGISE2-0.COM
What Is Social Business?

• Social Business involves work methods, organisational
  structures and ‘mindsets’ which are radically different from
  the ‘Industrial Age’ command and control structures still used
  by the majority of organisations. The use of social media and
  the adoption of a social ‘mindset’ moves from the periphery
  to the core of your organisation

• It is no longer just about Twitter and Facebook. The key
  challenge is the way in which your organisation embraces and
  cultivates a spirit of collaboration based on open
  communications, internally and externally. Being lean,
  nimble and responsive to dynamic change based on
  engagement and transparency
                                                         ENERGISE2-0.COM
Social Everything


• Social Marketing – more cost effective and efficient
• Social Customer Service – enhanced reputation and brand
  advocacy
• Social HRM – improved staff engagement and loyalty
• Social NPD – crowdsource NPD, faster speed to market
  acceptance, more cost effective
• Social Relationships - enhanced partner and stakeholder
  relationships
• Social Listening - flexibility and speed of response
• Etc

• Social Business – Rethinking Innovation, Organization and
  Leadership (from LeaderLab)

• Business is changing but much of our management is still
  rooted in the Industrial Revolution. Why do we keep
  educating our leaders in old paradigms? Tear down the
  internal Berlin walls. Social software delivers a new paradigm
  for collaboration, sharing and crowdsourcing. The time has
  come to rethink the way we do business. Is your organisation
  ready?

Some Advice

• Do not be afraid for we will be with you (support and
  expertise is available)

• Have an open mind and learn more; Get Involved –
  Just Do It! – but do it carefully; Shut up and Listen!

• Think from the ‘outside-in’ not just from the ‘inside-
  out’. Don’t tell your audience how good you are.
  Prove it by delivering high value content –
  Inbound/Content Marketing
                                                   ENERGISE2-0.COM
Some Advice


• Undertake a Digital Landscape Analysis

  – External: opportunites and threats from Social,
    the Cloud, Mobile, Gen C, Big Data etc

  – Internal Audit: your ‘readiness to engage’ –
    people, resources, structure etc



                                                   ENERGISE2-0.COM
Some Advice

• Vision and Strategy – business objectives (not just
  sales and marketing), KPIs and targets, customers,
  employees, key initiatives and actions we need to
  take

• Agree a Performance Measurement System

• Organisation, Resource, People Issues

• Start with a Pilot Project

Gen C or a Lost Generation?

• Is there a need for a Support Programme matching the
  digital needs of our SMEs to the core skills and
  experience of Gen C – the Constantly Connected
  Generation
• Provide an innovative, new, radical approach to creating
  quality job opportunities for our young people – tackling
  the twin problems of graduate unemployment and
  underemployment
• While at the same time, delivering real, tangible business
  benefits to Scottish companies – improved performance
  and international competitiveness

    Bob Dylan (MashedUp ) Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And don’t criticise What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin‘ Then you better start swimmin’ Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’ ENERGISE2-0.COM
  • 27.
    The times theyare a changin' • Current leading-edge thinking is that we are on the verge of another tectonic shift: from Social Media to Social Business • A Social Business is one that develops innovative new work methods and processes by applying social thinking, social strategy, social culture, social organisation and social technologies to everything it does (internally as well as externally) • Organisations who ‘get this’ will survive and prosper - those who don’t will become 21st century dinosaurs ENERGISE2-0.COM
  • 28.
    What Is SocialBusiness? • Social Business involves work methods, organisational structures and ‘mindsets’ which are radically different from the ‘Industrial Age’ command and control structures still used by the majority of organisations. The use of social media and the adoption of a social ‘mindset’ moves from the periphery to the core of your organisation • It is no longer just about Twitter and Facebook. The key challenge is the way in which your organisation embraces and cultivates a spirit of collaboration based on open communications, internally and externally. Being lean, nimble and responsive to dynamic change based on engagement and transparency ENERGISE2-0.COM
  • 29.
    Social Everything • SocialMarketing – more cost effective and efficient • Social Customer Service – enhanced reputation and brand advocacy • Social HRM – improved staff engagement and loyalty • Social NPD – crowdsource NPD, faster speed to market acceptance, more cost effective • Social Relationships - enhanced partner and stakeholder relationships • Social Listening - flexibility and speed of response • Etc ENERGISE2-0.COM

    Video • Social Business– Rethinking Innovation, Organization and Leadership (from LeaderLab) • Business is changing but much of our management is still rooted in the Industrial Revolution. Why do we keep educating our leaders in old paradigms? Tear down the internal Berlin walls. Social software delivers a new paradigm for collaboration, sharing and crowdsourcing. The time has come to rethink the way we do business. Is your organisation ready? ENERGISE2-0.COM
