RelaOonships as CompeOOve DifferenOator Cost Savings § Loyalty § Forgiveness § Time § Peer support § Issue reporOng Revenue § Preference § PaOence § Advocacy § CompeOOve lockout § AuthenOc insights These quali?es require a different level of rela?onship than tradi?onal transac?onal rela?onships
Social Approaches Enable Scalable RelaOonships Encounter Friendship Recogni5on Development Partnership Awareness Awareness Resonance Understanding of compa5bility Piqued interest Acknowledgement of rela5onship Contextual trust Contextual loyalty Contextual advocacy Forgiveness Advocacy Defense Universal trust Universal loyalty Social Media (Content-‐Based) Engagement Community (RelaOonship-‐Based) Engagement In-‐Person Engagement

We Need to Understand the ExecuOve Journey TradiOonal Piqued Experimental Social Networked Tes5ng the waters. Not suppor5ve of the use of social as a viable solu5on for business. Silos and not connected to the business workflow. Social business is integrated into the DNA of doing business with all cons5tuents. Opera5ons are op5mized for collabora5on and innova5on. Command and control. Primary modes of communica5on are in person, phone & email. No use of many-‐ to-‐many communica5on tools. Commi"ed to a few social ac5vi5es, but most communica5on s5ll occurs through tradi5onal channels. Seeing quick wins. Engagement with key stakeholders via new social channels. Beginning to see correla5on between social ac5vity and business results.
Social business cannot be fully achieved if execu?ves do not incorporate social approaches in the business – in what they say and what they do People not tools drive innova?on
