How The C-Suite Are Using Social Media
They aren’t, that’s the easy answer. Well not yet. The executives in and around Regina and Saskatchewan are slower to adopt this new found social technology. Sure there are some very social executives (and a social Premier!) you’ll find out about them in the presentation but for the vast majority of leaders in the business community have fallen prey to the “I don’t have enough time” and the “I don’t get it” virus.
So how is the C-Suite using Social Media? They use Twitter and LinkedIn. The presentation below is mostly focused on Twitter.
In the presentation you’ll find:
- Some of the most important Tweets of all time
- 5 Myths about Social Media
- Several case studies of business/political leaders and organizations who use Twitter specifically (and use it well!)
- We finish off with 3 “How To’s”, tips on making you better on Twitter.
