We know you have a big job keeping your social business initiative alive. You know there is more to social than just ensuring that conversation flows between your customers, partners and employees. Social business yields great value; you see great opportunity but need more to make it come fully to life. More attention, stronger executive sponsorship, better integration with key business processes and a clearer understanding of the budget needed to execute on the vision.
Whether it is a social media marketing program, an online community, or an intranet, we’ve developed a proven six-step process to build the ideal foundation for the business planning process. This two-hour workshop will navigate you through these six steps for developing a business case and offer insight into ways to spotlight potential returns and benefits. We’ll explore how to best secure executive support, and demonstrate operational opportunities. Using a suite of checklists, frameworks and discussions we will build a business case example together, leaving you equipped to design an informed and persuasive business case.

A customer journey map is perhaps the most powerful tool you can use to design customer experiences and develop customer experience strategies. Customer journey maps deliver insights into customers' motivations, needs, wants and sentiment as they interact with products, services, physical and digital channels in any combination. These insights inform targeted customer strategies and investments.
Customer journey maps can be developed for an entire customer lifecycle, from before the first engagement to upgrade, renewal, repurchase and even moving on to a competitor. They can also be developed for a single interaction at a single touchpoint. They can be used to develop an end-to-end experience for a brand new product that is not in the market yet, or to make improvements to an existing experience.
In this interactive workshop, participants will receive hands on experience in developing customer journey maps for specific customer-impacting business scenarios, and a strategy roadmap to address the identified customer experience challenges.
This is your chance to experience the closest thing possible to managing a crisis breaking and spreading over social media. Using Polpeo, a social media simulator, you will attempt to manage a social media crisis for a fictional company, while an experienced team behind the scenes will mimic the public reaction to the crisis, making the session incredibly realistic.
The crisis will spread quickly over different channels, including social networks, microblogs, online news channels, forums, blogs and video networks. Your job will be to do everything you can to neutralize the crisis: devising your strategy, posting to Polpeo’s simulated social media channels, and responding to the public, all in real time.
After the crisis has reached its conclusion, you will have the chance to hear feedback on how well you managed to contain the crisis, and ask questions about best practices.
Takeaways will include:
