New forms of communications…Not so new…
“The telephone cannot think or talk for you, but it carries your thought where you will. It’s yours to use.”
“The telephone is essentially democratic; it carries the voice of the child and the grown-up with equal speed and directness”

Typical cycle for organizations using social media:
1. Use it like a megaphone: post outward messages, no monitoring, no engagement. (Marketing)
2. Add a layer of engagement over the megaphone—follow key stakeholders or influencers, RT posts about the organization, reply to direct questions or inquiries related to content posted. (Communications)
3. Social media as a customer service channel (Support)
4. Data mining… Discovering the hidden business intelligence. (Research)
5. Filtering feedback and trends back through the organization (Management)
6. Changing process, culture and business operation
The ”social business” is a natural evolution.

WHY EVOLVE SOCIAL MEDIA IN YOUR ORGANIZATION?

The Social Business
Social business is the idea that social media permeates every process, division and employee in a company.
Social media is viewed less as a marketing tactic and more of an essential business tool.
The social business incorporates social elements into its process and structure-> Often requires a drastic culture shift.

A social media strategy approach – Why Government will succeed…
• Governance: process for using social media, includes policy development, crisis/issues management procedure, interaction guidelines and external guidelines
• Content: Content recipe, editorial calendar, key messages and keywords. Mapped back to strategy and created with results in mind.
• Engagement: How do you interact? When? Define actual scenarios and typical response
• Measurement: Social media measurement is easy if you plan for it.
All supported by research…

Governance and policy
• Even if you’re not a federal department, start by reading the Treasury Board’s Guidelines for the External Use of 2.0 • Personal and official use policy• Internal policy for employee vs. External guidelines/terms of use• Internal process documentation
• Get buy-in... Interview stakeholders even if you don’t really need to• Great governance documents how social media will be used, personally and
professionally, why it will be used, and what exactly will be used.
