"Many of the questions I get asked during the social media training I deliver relate directly to ‘safeguarding’ social marketing activity and the implications of employees participating in social media can have on a business or brand."

"Organizations must have process and policy in place to deal with detractors (individuals and groups) rather than using a blanket approach based on the wisdom of the crowd – or lack thereof. And confidence that control is best shared in carefully measured cases."

  • It’s dangerous to rely on blanket statements from the early days of social media to today’s social business operating environment.

"It’s not something that will happen overnight. It certainly won’t happen in a kickoff meeting. And without a total organizational commitment to being customer first, building trust, and setting the company on a path where the idea of connecting with customers in real-time is embraced, it’s not likely something that will ever happen. And for some industries that may be okay, it’s still way too early to tell.

But for those companies looking for some guidance and a framework, I’ve broken the social business evolution process into four stages: Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood."

socialbusiness engagement customer identity goals policies procedures maturity culture

  • Becoming a social business is begun by defining what “Being Social” and “Open” means to your organization.

    The first and probably most significant realization one needs to make in this evolution process is that there is no single definition of “being a social business.” Every business should (read will) have their own definition and move at their own pace in getting there.

  • Assess your existing culture.
    How far off is your existing culture with what you defined in the “birth” stage? Chart the path ahead.

"Firstly, we released a white paper by noted futurist and change agent Geoffrey Moore on Systems of Engagement and the Future of Enterprise IT. The report posed some challenging questions about the world of Systems of Record. It reflected on the ground that we have all been tilling for the ast 20 years and its connection (or some would speculate, lack thereof) to the new world of Systems of Engagement, aka Social Business aka Enterprise 2.0 (so as not to offend any of the legions of consultants who are currently battling over the right term).

Secondly, I spent a good deal of time with a reporter from a major business publication who was interested in the rumors that a major bank (speculation was Bank of America or J.P. Morgan or Citigroup) was the next Wikileaks target. One of the issues we discussed was what this meant for the future of social media. Other than, of course, the obvious conclusion that one should be very suspect of anyone in your organization lip synching to Lady Gaga, who has the largest Twitter following in the world -- 7,829,385 followers."

  • But all this social information and content is something that needs management and governance. I hate to even say this, for fear it may put me in the not cool part of the social crowd. Probably the adult version of the crowd I hung around in when I was an all-state bass clarinetist in high school.
  • But sooner or later, we are going to have to getting serious about how we want to manage social content. Because the tension to keep it all (to improve the knowledge base of the organization) vs. the tension to get rid of it all as quickly as possible (to keep the lawyers at bay) is going to escalate quickly. This content is valuable to the business. This content is most likely not a record in the ARMA sense (although some might be). But it is electronically stored information in the FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) sense. And for organizations that do "social" well, there will be a hell of a lot of it.

"In 2011, Internet-based capabilities, including social networking, are no longer a “nice to have” at the Department of Defense. According to official documents, policies statements, and the example set by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, these capabilities can and do contribute to the missions of the Pentagon. Yes, loose tweets may sink fleets, as a read of the U.S. Navy social media handbook reminds sailors, but the opportunities appear to balance the risks."

  • As a result of these findings, it was determined that access to Internet-based capabilities is a critical functionality that must be preserved, despite some associated risks. Therefore, rather than restricting access to these capabilities, the NIPRNET must be configured and guidance integrated regarding the proper use of Internet-based capabilities into OPSEC education, training and awareness activities to allow safe use of them by all components.
  • the Pentagon will not ban social media. Instead, the DoD appears to be shifting to a posture where the use of social media, both in external and internal platforms, will be integrated into the work of all service members, aka “components.

Management experts have long predicted the demise of the standard 9-to-5 workday. Thanks to internet and mobile technology, we can now work where and when we want, they argue. So, why are so many people still sticking to those traditional hours, or more likely an extended version of them? The reality is that while flexible work arrangements have become more popular, few companies have an official policy or program.

  • Even those bosses who trust their employees worry about appearing to favor certain people or allowing productivity to decline.
  • Research from Lotte Bailyn, professor of management at MIT's Sloan School of Management and co-author of Beyond Work-Family Balance: Advancing Gender Equity and Workplace Performance has shown that when people are given the flexibility they need, they meet goals more easily, they're absent or tardy less often, and their morale goes up.

"Les dernières stats dont je dispose sur facebook font état de 55 minutes par jour et par utilisateur en moyenne. Vu la poursuite de la progression du réseau social numéro un et le fait qu'il ait dépassé les sites Google en temps passé aux US, ce chiffre est probablement plus grand maintenant.

Considérons dans un second temps les 3h quotidiennes en moyenne passées devant la télévision.

Je suis convaincu que certains vont sur Facebook en regardant la TV, ou regardent la boite à Hertz en discutant sur Facebook de l'autre, on ne peut donc additionner ces temps de cerveau disponible."

    • Un DRH digne du nom de Directeur des Relations Humaines (notez bien le moyen terme) se doit de comprendre la sociologie comportementale de toutes les générations présentes sur le marché du travail et dans son entreprise afin dans le désordre de :

       
      • intégrer les jeunes pousses
      • comprendre les comportements
      • motiver les individus et les communautés
      • gérer les chocs générationnels, des baby-boomers à la génération Y - vous connaissez Benjamin, monsieur le DG hein ?
      • informer à l'extérieur des besoins en recrutement, avec une stratégie de marque employeur si le DRH est visionnaire ou contraint par la pénurie.
      • optimiser le dialogue social.
      • être la voix de la direction auprès des salariés ET être la voix des salariés auprès de la direction.
      • communiquer aux salariés ce que font ou disent ceux que personne n'écoute, c'est à dire tous les autres - je suis très fier de cette définition de la communication interne.

"La charte des relations de travail que vient de concocter 3M « regroupe des attitudes et des objectifs non quantifiables » que l'entreprise souhaite voir adopter par l’ensemble de ses collaborateurs « afin de créer un environnement de travail sain et stimulant ».


Cela commence par : « Je déclare avoir été informé que 3M attend de moi d’être le premier responsable/garant du bon équilibre entre ma vie au travail et ma vie privée »."

  • Au final, si le salarié n'est pas bien ou se trouve trop stressé, on saura bien (et vite) lui rappeler qu'il n'a pas respecté cette charte des relations de travail. Il s'agit bien d'une charte à sens unique dans laquelle tous les devoirs et les obligations pèsent sur le salarié et non sur l'entreprise

Here is my collection social media policies. I initially gathered a big collection while trying to formulate my own policy. That collection grew over the years to include a variety of industries, types of companies (public or private), industry and approach to social media (proactive, prohibitive or neutral).

  • Enterprise 2.0 suggests that we can simplify and remove some of the "specialization" barriers to enable more people to search for pearls.

"IBM invests in creating its own social media tools. But it’s earning that back by monetizing some of those as part of the IBM product portfolio. The other part of the investment equation—employees’ time—doesn’t seem to be a concern, according to Christensen.

That’s because collaboration and knowledge make IBM what it is. And that’s a company with $12.3 billion in earnings on more than $100 billion in revenue with a 44.1% gross profit margin in 2008."

  • Social networking tools are spreading into core areas of the value chain, including the marketing and communications, human relations, and customer service departments.
  • Only one in seven of the companies that participated in the research noted a formal process associated with adopting consumer-based social networking tools for business purposes, indicating that the potential risks associated with these tools in the enterprise are either overlooked or not well understood.
