Hinweis der Redaktion
Speed and scale of adoption exceeds that of previous technologies90% but only 3% fully networked – achieving substantial bennies across all parts and with externals
Distinct properties of social tech make them powerful Endow social interactions with speed, scale and economics of the Internet Democratic content publishing, sharing and consuming Create a record of interactions/connections (social graph)Disintermediate commercial relationships and upend traditional biz models
an organisation that is optimised to benefit its entire ecosystem (customers, employees, owners, and partners) by embedding collaboration, information sharing, and active engagement into its operations and culture. Capturing the full potential value from the use of social technologies will require transformational changes in organizational structures, processes, and practices, as well as a culture compatible with sharing and openness.The greatest benefits will be realized by organizations that have or can develop open, non-hierarchical, knowledge-sharing cultures.
2/3rds of value creation lies in improving comms and collaboration within and across enterprisesConsumer insightsUnfiltered feedback and behavioral dataCrowdsource product ideas & co-create new featuresManaging procurement and logisticsRaise knowledge worker productivity by 20-25%Up 1/3 of consumer spending could be influenced by social media interactions = $940B annual consumption US and Europe
Marketing is Everything – Regis McKenna, HBS 1991TechnologyBut also all touchpoints – premises, customer services, reception, interaction with suppliers, productsThe company/customer relationship has flipped.The distance between the customer and the company has disappearedThe transparency stakes are raised
Smart companies:Crowd source new product ideas and co-create new featuresRich new forms of consumer insightsManage procurement and logisticsImprove the productivity of knowledge workers streamlining comms and collaboration lowering barriers between functional silos
In light of all that,
Performance-oriented cultures possess statistically better financial growth, with high employee involvement, strong internal communication, and an acceptance of a healthy level of risk-taking in order to achieve new levels of innovation.Social Media is less about strategy, messaging, and marketing than about culture, conversations, change management
Culture eats strategy for lunch“if we get the culture right, then everything else, including the customer service, will fall into place” – Tony Hsieh, CEO
Customer service centric approachTwitter especially – story of woman sent flowersMD throws parties for local customers when visiting citiesBox of crackers to Pacific Islands – “FreshBooks, you've got a customer for a life and yet one more person to sing your praises to the masses.”
SXSW panel – customers are your best marketingExecute Extraordinary Experiences Everyday
Georgie Newbury – artisan flower farmer and floristsNever had a marketing budgetBuilt whole business using social media – no budgetIt’s an honour to have direct relationships with customers
10/90 rule“Thank you department” - New customer order – find them in social media – discover what makes them tick – leverage that.Call every single customer who orders - Social is a long play – worrying about ROI, whether it is worth it – same conversation we had about Internet/ecommerce/etcRetention, lifetime value is the gameTwitter-engaged customers out perform non-engaged customers by 60%
WoM on SteriodsRemember the McKinsey report – social amplified by the speed, scale and economics of the Internet
Customer Lifetime Value (revenue from customer and immediate family over lifetime) now becomes Customer Referral Value = a measure of advocacy and positive business value that an influencer brings. We need to understand customers’ social graphs (remember McKinsey advantages)Community Referral Value: We are now in a world that not only is forcing businesses to engage customers but to consider the influences on their business that rests among their partners, suppliers, prospects… all the stakeholders in the company’s particular ecosystem.
