3. The times they are a changin'
• Current leading-edge thinking is that we are on the verge
of another tectonic shift: from Social Media to Social
Business
• A Social Business is one that develops innovative new
work methods and processes by applying social thinking,
social strategy, social culture, social organisation and
social technologies to everything it does (internally as
well as externally)
• Organisations who ‘get this’ will survive and prosper -
those who don’t will become 21st century dinosaurs

22. What Is Social Business?
• A Social Business is one that develops innovative new work
methods and processes by applying social thinking, social
strategy, social culture, social organisation and social
technologies to everything it does – to all value chain
activities (sales, customer service, finance, logistics, HRM,
quality, marketing, operations, internal processes,
administration etc)
• Potential business benefits include improved efficiency; agility
and speed of response to rapidly changing market conditions;
lower costs; increased sales; enhanced customer loyalty;
employee engagement; enhanced partner and stakeholder
relationships

23. What Is Social Business?
• Social Business involves work methods, organisational
structures and ‘mindsets’ which are radically different from
the ‘Industrial Age’ command and control structures still used
by the majority of organisations. The use of social media and
the adoption of a social ‘mindset’ moves from the periphery
to the core of your organisation
• It is no longer just about Twitter and Facebook. The key
challenge is the way in which your organisation embraces and
cultivates a spirit of collaboration based on open
communications, internally and externally. Being lean,
nimble and responsive to dynamic change based on
engagement and transparency

24. What Is Social Business?
• A ‘4Cs Model’ can be used to explain the business benefits of
‘being social’
• The key question to address is how can your organisation best
use social technologies to build relationships and derive
tangible business benefits from four main customer groups:
– Existing Customers
– Potential Customers
– Internal Customers (Staff)
– External Customers (Business Partners)

25. Potential Business Benefits
Based on an in-depth analysis of 4 key sectors
representing 20% of global sales, McKinsey
found that social technologies could potentially
contribute $900 billion to $1.3 trillion in annual
value across the four sectors

26. Potential Business Benefits
• Two thirds of the improvement would be from better
collaboration and communication within and across
enterprises
• The average knowledge worker spends an estimated 28%
of the workweek managing e-mail and nearly 20%
searching information or finding colleagues to help with
specific tasks. Using social media can cut down this time
spent searching for information and people by 35%
• Companies have an opportunity to raise the productivity
high-skill knowledge workers by 20 to 25%

35. Videos
• Social Business – Rethinking Innovation, Organization and
Leadership (from LeaderLab)
• Business is changing but much of our management is still
rooted in the Industrial Revolution. Why do we keep
educating our leaders in old paradigms? Tear down the
internal Berlin walls. Social software delivers a new paradigm
for collaboration, sharing and crowdsourcing. The time has
come to rethink the way we do business. Is your organisation
ready?

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And don’t criticise
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin‘
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
