Live from Social Media Week: The Suxorz picks the worst social media moves of 2010. There’s no shortage of organizations looking to hand out awards for the best social media campaigns, but they are only half the story.
Every Oscar needs a Razzy to balance it out. We must punish failure as well as praise excellence. Or, at least, that was the mood at the fourth annual Suxorz Awards event at Social Media Week on Thursday night. The evening’s panel of marketing experts was filled by Jessica Amason, Brian Clark, Brian Morrissey and BL Ochman and was moderated by Henry Copeland. Each panelist put forth a nominee for each of four categories. After all the panelists had explained why they were nominating a particular social media action, Copeland turned the discussion over to the crowd, letting them vote on the worst of the lot. Afterward, the floor was opened up to people’s choice nominations, and the winner of that round was put up against the winners of previous rounds for a vote on who had the worst social media moment of the past 12 months.
It's Time for Some New Habits--the Year of the Meaning Organization. This time of year we tend to subject ourselves to tough review. We zero in on our practices and tendencies and resolve to take up new, positive habits--and, more importantly, to break the bad. It can be a productive exercise if approached with a clear eye and dedicated follow-through.
My question: why don't we subject our institutions to the same ritualistic rigor? As I've argued in my new book, instead of creating enduring, authentic value for people, our institutions--corporations, banks, governments--consistently, systematically, one might say, habitually, extract wealth from them. The result is the game of musical chairs that is the crisis, writ large. What, then, are the habits of this set of industrial age institutions? Here's what I think that organization might look like. Its brain wouldn't be the office, department, or strategy team--but something I call the "wisdom group. " Hence, the wisdom group. Its nerve center wouldn't be marketing--but what you might call humanizing. How to Be Human.
