Video: Scaling Your Social Business (Dreamforce Presentation)

I was pleased to be a featured speaker at Dreamforce, to share Altimeter’s research on Social Business. My topic? To focus on how companies need to scale social business. I referenced the following Open Research (meaning you can download them) reports: Social Business Readiness, Career path of the Corporate Social Strategist, and Managing Social Media Proliferation, see all my Open Research on this tab.

Key Agenda Points:

  • Social business does not scale, companies are at risk for “Social Sanitation”
  • Advanced companies scale with at least six programs:
  • 1) Get into a scalable formation now
  • 2) Enable business units (safely)
  • 3) Streamline workflow with tools
  • 4) Scale with peer to peer communities
  • 5) Grow an unpaid army of advocates
  • 6) Integrate in all manners
Below you’ll find the video recording, and raw slides on slideshare. Thank you Salesforce for providing the opportunity to share this research to the Dreamforce attendees.
