Europe’s first Social Business Summit, which we organise in cooperation with Headshift/Dachis Group will be held in the city of London on March 18 and is part of a series including a Dachis Group summit in Austin and Sydney. All three events are intended to engage with the leading practitioners on three continents and provide a global view of the market.
The Social Business Summit (March 18, London) is invitation-only. Therefore, save the date and let us know if you wish to participate.
Lee Bryant, CEO and co-founder of Headshift, calls upon on the next phase of social business design in companies: The use of social tools in business is now progressing from the experimental stage to the beginning of mainstream adoption. As with all transformational technologies, organisational culture change and technology adoption are closely related, with both influencing the other in subtle but important ways. We want to look ahead and consider the impact of social tools on the way we organise, structure and manage knowledge- and people-intensive businesses in the future, both internally and externally.

As Boris Janek noticed in his reflection of SOMESSO Zurich 09, it is usually a challenge to bring social media experts and enthusiasts together with banking and finance professionals.
Banks have always been hesitant with the adoption of new technologies (take automated teller machines and online banking as an example).
But there are also leading examples, like 1st Mariner Bank in Baltimore, MD. E-Commerce Manager Steven L. Kruskamp Jr. (interview at Maine Bank Expo) has successfully convinced and converted his superiors and peers and led 1st Mariner to become a “new shining star in social media PR”.

Die Somesso09 in der Nachbetrachtung
Die Somesso 2009 in Zürich ist vorbei. Es war eine sehr gelungene und hochkarätige Veranstaltung in einem kleinen aber dafür qualitativ absolut hochwertigem Rahmen. Die Teilnehmer setzten sich überwiegend zusammen aus Angehörigen von Beratungsunternehmen, Social Media Profis, Agenturen, einigen wenigen Entrepreneuren und noch weniger Angestellten von Banken.

After attending, participating in and hosting the SOMESSO Zurich conference earlier this week, David Terrar, Executive Director at ITBrix and a well-known true social media expert, gives a strong example of a smart organization (original post) - Swiss Re. The article is a reaction to an ongoing conversation throughout the two day event which included (among others) Anu Elmer - Senior Communications Consultant at Swiss Re.
On Monday In Zurich during SOMESSO’s Web 2.0 University™ based masterclass delivered by Jim Benson, one of the attendees related her company’s adoption of Social Media. I was soaking up the material and offering Jim a little help, as we have just started to represent Hinchcliffe and Web 2.0 University™ in the UK. One of the weaknesses that we currently have in the enterprise 2.0 or “social media in business” space is not enough good case studies, with the existing pantheon of stories being recycled too much. That’s one of the reasons that Susan Scrupski’s 2.0 Adoption Council initiative is attracting such a buzz at places like the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. Read the full blog post »
