This document discusses the importance of listening to what people are saying about your organization. It notes that your brand is defined by what people say about it online, not just what you say. It introduces the groundswell framework for winning in a world transformed by social technologies, which emphasizes listening, learning, and experimenting. The framework advises determining who you want to reach, what goals you have, how you want customer relationships to change, and which technologies can help - and notes that markets are conversations, so engaging in dialogue is important for an organization.
