Social Meida For Project Success - PMI Australia Conference 2013 Presentation
This document discusses using social media for project success. It notes that project managers spend 75-90% of their time communicating. Social media can help by facilitating information sharing and turning communication into an interactive dialogue. However, organizations face challenges in getting people to regularly use social media and integrating it into business processes while addressing security, privacy and wasted time concerns. Case studies show how tools for faster file sharing, collaborative problem solving and knowledge sharing helped improve productivity at an Australian company and coordinate a global event. The document encourages having a clear vision, game plan and being social to make social media work for projects.
