101: Compliance


 Full scale compliance training that helps to ensure employees are acting in
           the best interest of the company, during and after work.

The 101 level of content is typically targeted to the broader base of employees, where the goal is to
set a baseline understanding of what online social behaviors are acceptable as well as clarifying the
potential problems that may arise by not fully considering their actions.




                                                                            •   Ketchum employee tweets a

201: Competence

                       Focusing on developing, distributing, and applying
                       shared best practices across the entire enterprise,
                      in order to effectively inject social media into normal
                                        course of business.

                      The 201 foundation is a Playbook, a modular, easy to consume, easy to
                      use collection of how-to content, worksheets, tools, and more.



                  •   Nordstrom has 196 stores, but has
                      200 individual Facebook pages,
                      with some stores having more than
                      one page!
                  •   This is carving up their brand,
                      confusing customers, and creating
                      far too many dissociated messages.
301: Collaboration


 Peer-to-peer, dialogue-based interaction that drives engagement amongst
  employees, where the by-product of that engagement is tighter working
             relationships and curated best practices content.




                     At the 301 level, priorities and implementation shift to the creation of two-way
                     communication channels that allow colleagues to better exchange ideas and build
                     on 201 content assets. Basic community management practices and content
                     curation efforts ensure that conversation is lively and that the discussions are
                     captured for reuse.

  • 23.
    101: Compliance Fullscale compliance training that helps to ensure employees are acting in the best interest of the company, during and after work. The 101 level of content is typically targeted to the broader base of employees, where the goal is to set a baseline understanding of what online social behaviors are acceptable as well as clarifying the potential problems that may arise by not fully considering their actions. • Ketchum employee tweets a negative post about Memphis… while on his way to visit his client, FedEx. • FedEx discovers this and reprimands him
  • 24.
    201: Competence Focusing on developing, distributing, and applying shared best practices across the entire enterprise, in order to effectively inject social media into normal course of business. The 201 foundation is a Playbook, a modular, easy to consume, easy to use collection of how-to content, worksheets, tools, and more. • Nordstrom has 196 stores, but has 200 individual Facebook pages, with some stores having more than one page! • This is carving up their brand, confusing customers, and creating far too many dissociated messages.
  • 25.
    301: Collaboration Peer-to-peer,dialogue-based interaction that drives engagement amongst employees, where the by-product of that engagement is tighter working relationships and curated best practices content. At the 301 level, priorities and implementation shift to the creation of two-way communication channels that allow colleagues to better exchange ideas and build on 201 content assets. Basic community management practices and content curation efforts ensure that conversation is lively and that the discussions are captured for reuse.
