storyful IBM Social Business Community Group News I must confess that when I first heard about CEMEX’s successful use of IBM Connections I was amazed at how an apparently very manual, practical and non-IT-oriented organisation had become a social business: It got me thinking about how I might apply a social business environment to other industries and I realised that the construction industry is an ideal place to deploy social business. Image via Wikipedia A construction project – building a new home, office block, shopping mall, or whatever, is all about people. As well as the client and contractor there will likely be the following other companies to a greater or lesser extent: ArchitectQuantity SurveyorMechanical EngineerElectrical EngineerPlanning Supervisor The contractor, whose job it is to build the thing will appoint sub-contractors who are specialists in their areas, e.g. ElectricianA/C EngineersStructural SteelworkPlumbingGroundworks… and so on Construction is all about instructions. Thus the project extranet was born. Blogging
T-Mobile - Jive Social Business Case Study T-Mobile USA is a national provider of wireless voice, messaging and data services, with over 43 million customers and 38,000 employees. Jive Helps “Uncarrier” T-Mobile Deliver Uncommon Customer Service T-Mobile shook up the wireless industry in 2013 with its “Uncarrier” initiative, abandoning two-year phone contracts and hefty termination fees for a model based on superior customer service. At the center of that customer-centric strategy is Jive. Together, Jive-powered employee and customer communities provide a one-two punch that’s helped T-Mobile drive higher satisfaction, retention and loyalty. Putting Customers Front and Center Customer care has always been a priority at T-Mobile, but the company really raised the stakes in 2013, when it became the first wireless provider to drop traditional service contracts and offer plans with no strings attached. “That meant putting our customers at the center of everything,” says Scott Tweedy, Vice President of Customer Service at T-Mobile.

Social Business Model - Futuristic or Real? The Social Business Model is something close to my heart. I believe we are on the verge of a business revolution....not in the sense of social media, which for me was the social ripple before the wave...but in terms of the customer becoming within the walls of the business. Today, I am presenting at Tedx Bradford 2012 and wanted to share with you some of my thoughts Social media was a gateway into business for the consumer, but new technology will break down the wallsRevolution happens ...and then you realise.....let's learn now from the past, and recoghise what is happening to busines now.Social marketing has been about opening up communication, the next wave of social business will open up production to consumers.We need to start thinking about why the customer needs us, as a business? If they can start designing and producing through 3D printing....then sharing and collaborating through social media and social networking....is the role of business changing?
The Coca-Cola Company: How Social Media Is Fueling the Job Search Process for Candidates and Companies Alike In today's war for talent, social networks have redrawn the battle lines by empowering parties on both sides of the negotiating table with unprecedented networking, communications and brand-building tools. In the past few years alone, LinkedIn , Facebook , Twitter and other platforms have changed the way companies of all shapes and sizes find and source talent. The recruiter-candidate relationship, once shrouded in formality, is now far more conversational and transparent. “Tracking down the right people or opportunities used to require hours of phone calls and private-investigator-type legwork,” says Kevin Shigley, director of global talent acquisition at . “Now the barrier to entry – information – is no longer a barrier. The Internet is the great democratizer of data.” ‘A Two-Way Street’ “You no longer need to know someone in-house to get an interview,” says Dan Schawbel , managing partner of Millennial Branding, a Gen Y research and consulting firm.

Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com Cédrick Moré Futurist Speaker Thomas Frey - Messing with the Reality of Reality Next Generation Gaming is Not for the Faint of Heart Life is a game. Every day we find ourselves in the middle of the game, involving the work we do, the people we hang out with, and the social structures that surround us. But who exactly created this game? In the future, the very near future, nothing we hold dear today will remain sacred. It Starts with the Avatar Think first of the lowly avatar, that cartoonish representation of ourselves, sent as our personal emissary to experience online, virtual worlds. Google recently announced a system for avatar portability, enabling us to have one avatar that seamlessly crosses from one virtual world to the next. Avatars will learn from us. With each generation of avatar, they will become more life-like, growing in realism, pressing the limits of autonomy as we become more and more reliant on them for experiencing the world.
