Having worked in Knowledge Management for a large multinational I have had experience in the challenges involved in realising the value of shared wisdom across the organisation, without enforcing the burden of overcomplicated information categorisations.
So I read with excitement this manifesto on Social Architecture which provides a cleverly thought out view on how organisations can embrace socialisation to generate real value.

My updated Social Media Action Plan presentation
Social Media – What is it?
“Open Conversations that encourage participation and connect people”
Why it matters
– “Social media helps people express themselves and through the wisdom of crowds helps us discover new stuff”
What to do about it ?
– Can’t control it
– Ignoring it just elimates you from the conversation
Social Media Action Plan
1. Listen (online monitoring .. what and how, discovery of risks, consumer insights)
“The Development of a process
to understand the conversations,
and action the insights”
o Permission to engage
2. Engage (social engagement policies, leveraging employees, integration, consumer insights)
“Participation Participation Particpation is the new Location Location Location”
o Permission to influence
3. Influence (identifying & rewarding fans, innovation, research)
– Future trends (social commerce, location based information, filtering, privacy & fraud)
