ASAE Technology Conference Keynote
Keynote at ASAE Technology Conference, December 14, 2010 in Washington DC. "Be Open, Be Transparent, Be Authentic" are the current leadership mantras – but organizations often push back. Traditionally business is conducted on the basis of control and yet the new world order demands openness. In this session, Charlene Li will examine how to tap into the power of the social technology revolution and use social media to be "open" while maintaining control. Ms. Li will share illustrative examples and case studies from a wide range of industries and countries, of how to bring the precision of this new ‘openness" to both inside and outside your organization.As Li explains, openness requires more — not less — rigor and effort than being in control. Hear how to determine your organization’s open strategy, weigh the benefits against the risk, and have a clear understanding of the implications of being open. Walk away with guidelines, policies, and procedures that successful companies have implemented to manage openness and ensure that business objectives are at the center of their openness strategy. By embracing social media, you can transform your organizations to become more effective, decisive, and ultimately more profitable in this new era of openness in the marketplace.Charlene Li is the co-author of the bestseller Groundswell, author of the new book Open Leadership, and Founder of Altimeter Group, a strategy firm that provides clients with a pragmatic approach to using new technologies.
