Suggesties

Frank Meeuwsen op DutchCowboys:

Erno, noem me een cynicus, maar ik zie nog steeds niets anders dan wat er op veel andere social media events gebeurd. Zoals je zelf al zegt: Presentaties (zenden dus) en weinig ruimte tot discussie. En de verhalen van @puur en Cisco zijn prima natuurlijk en zeer herkenbaar, maar is het veel anders dan alle andere verhalen die on- en offline al zijn te vinden?

Ik ben er zelf niet bij geweest dus ik kan moeilijk oordelen op afstand en zonder enige kennis van zaken. Maar ik vraag me af: Als het gaat om kennis te delen, waarom dan 2 presentaties? Waarom niet 5 whiteboards, markers en wat thema's? Unconference it! Je zou ook de deelnemers kunnen verplichten om bij aanwezigheid (die toch al niet vrijblijvend is) ook een bijdrage vooraf te geven. Deel dan de kennis die je met elkaar hebt of juist mist en faciliteer de ruimte en middelen om die kennis te delen. Bedrijven die "het allemaal nog niet zo weten", die moet je denk ik niet meer vermoeien met nog een presentatie over luisteren, meedoen, twitteren, hyves, wat het kost, wie het gaat doen en hoe je het meet. Maar die moet je gewoon aan de slag zetten. Laat het POST model van Forrester zien en zet ze aan de slag!

 

P is People. Don't start a social strategy until you know the capabilities of your audience. If you're targeting college students, use social networks. If you're reaching out business travelers, consider ratings and reviews. Forrester has great  data to help with this, but you can make some estimates on your own. Just don't start without thinking about it.

O is objectives. Pick one. Are you starting an application to listen to your customers, or to talk with them? To support them, or to energize your best customers to evangelize others? Or are you trying to collaborate with them? Decide on your objective before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will measure it.

S is Strategy. Strategy here means figuring out what will be different after you're done. Do you want a closer, two-way relationship with your best customers? Do you want to get people talking about your products? Do you want a permanent focus group for testing product ideas and generating new ones? Imagine you succeed. How will things be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where to begin.

T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.
