Webinar: How & Why to Apply Strategy & Governance to Social Computing Initiatives

By Melissa Risteff, June 15, 2009
Strategy On June 30, 2009, at 2pm ET, NewsGator will host a free, live webinar, "How & Why to Apply Strategy and Governance to Social Computing Initiatives."

It is our belief that using social technologies for the sake of coolness is out, while using them in support of business strategy and to drive culture change is in. Your strategy for social technology must not only be connected to business strategies, but also, focused on the right technologies at the right time. Extending your strategy and governance into proper policy and code of conduct language helps embed adoption and expectations into the culture of the organization.

Please join Stacy Wilson, Accredited Business Communicator (ABC) and president of Eloquor Consulting, Inc., and Greg Reinacker, CTO of NewsGator, for this webinar which covers:

  • Why a strategic governance model makes good business sense
  • How to connect your internal social technology use to business strategy
  • How to determine which social technologies to focus on when
  • How social technologies affect organizational culture
  • What policy and code of conduct elements to consider
We believe that this webinar will be beneficial for the following types of people: Corporate Communication Professionals; Human Resources Professionals; Enterprise/IT Architects; Information & Knowledge; Management Professionals; IT Professionals; CIOs; and anyone tasked with evaluating, recommending or designing Enterprise 2.0 & Social Computing strategies.

We look forward to your participation on June 30, 2009 at 2pm ET.  You can register here.
