How do we engage our customers and employees in a world of social business?

Social media is transforming the way business is conducted: new ways for customer engagement, new ways for communicating across the supply chain.

socialbusinessYet, exciting as this may sound, most executives and managers are having trouble getting a handle on it all – why they are participating or how to measure success. 

The typical response is to send someone to a course on Facebook or on social media marketing. But these courses usually focus on features and sell features as if they were a business strategy.  They’re not.  Social business is more than social media marketing.

Ironically, more than 90% of companies who seek to build their social capabilities actually have no strategy at all when they jump into social media.  As a result, the social media initiative too often ends up morphing into some reactive meandering beast.

ALC’s important new training program, based on the Social Business Performance Framework®, places strategy where it belongs – first in the list.  The program is designed for anyone in business or government who is grappling with the enormous challenges and opportunities brought about by social media and who understands the power that a best-practice framework can bring to business processes.

The Social Business Performance Framework® is a true breakthrough for engaging and growing key communities. In the ever-changing world of connective technologies it provides a foundation on which to build your social engagement strategies. This program explains in depth the five key elements critical for success and provides the foundation for anyone who wishes to incorporate social media into their business model.
