Wicked Wednesdays for Social? Socialytics? Explain! #socbiz #ibmsocialbiz #sbss12
I was just in London and had a great meeting with the gang at Collaboration Matters! Rooven showed with me the new Wicked Wednesday. Ok, it’s not that kind of Wicked! It is wickedly creative with the coolest social learning and networking.
So what is Wicked Wednesday? It is a Social Learning Event. At the last Wicked Wednesday session, we evolved the format to create a compelling mix of theory and practise. We introduced our Collaborative Garden concept and we used this collaboration platform to capture the discourse on the role of the Community Manager.
For the coolest way to showcase value, they won the IBM Platinum Marketing Award for the Diner, Garden and Wicked Wed concepts!

Gamification - Hotter than ever in Social Business! #socbiz #ibmsocialbiz #sbss12
I spoke about Social Business and gamification in London last week -- and proved that they are the #1 Twitter city in the world with more tweets trending in that conference than you could imagine!
So I decided based on our #1 question there -- Gaming -- to do our Monday Coffee Break on Gamification and Social!
Have fun! What motivates you?

A Yank celebrates the "social media" elements of the Queen's Julibee with her Daughters! #socbiz #socgov #ibmsocialbiz #diamondjubilee
I was just in London last week and got excited about the Queen's Julibee! No, I am not British (well maybe a tad?!) but loved the energy there in downtown London!
I was walking to dinner one night and loved this use of social ! It was in a storefront and you can tweet a treat to the royal dog in the window in honor of the Julibee! If you are there, let me know what other cool Social Media you see!

- Measure, measure, measure

The Salvation Army is a blessing AND a Social Business! #socbiz #ibmsocialbiz #ls13
I was in London with the Salvation Army -- a true inspiration and Social Business! They do so much good work around the world -- giving back and helping others. I admire them greatly!
But did you also know that they are a Social Business -- taking that greater mission through social channels. I met with Commissioner Sue Swanson and Mark Calleran the Chief Information Officer of the The Salvation Army. Commander Sue has great vision around how to take Social even to the next level (See below for what they've done so far!)
Case Study: Salvation Army The Salvation Army, headquartered in London, has leveraged innovative engagement methods for its market. It held an International Youth Forum for those age 18 to 29. They leveraged a social networking device held by the delegates called a Poken. The Poken was a physical device that contained their contact information, including Facebook connections. When they touched their Poken with those of other delegates, the contact details were automatically exchanged. According to Mark Calleran, the Chief Information Officier (CIO) at Salvation Arm, more than 31,000 interactions (making friends) took place during the event. The top three “Pokenauts” managed to make 215, 190, and 170 friends. In addition, they had numerous live streaming video reviews through the Poken as well. Just as in the Coca-Cola example, the engagement strategy was to find a way for the community that came together once to stay connected beyond the event. And so far, this community has continued the engagement.
And there is much more as well coming! Hats off to the Salvation Army!

Risk do exist - you need to develop a risk management plan!
Our best practices include:
Much will depend upon how today's graduates and future generations harness the digital world — to drive progress in
healthcare, transportation, cities, and more. As people's lives are increasingly digitally connected, being
social, secure and smart is not only a rallying cheer for the Class of 2012, it is becoming a way of life!
