Start up: some essentials
• Senior management buy-in
• Skill set
• Risks
What will I need to invest?
You don’t have to do it all at once!
• Build slowly, select according to need– Networking tools: blogs, micro-blogs, social networks– Collaboration tools: wikis, social news, social
bookmarking – Multimedia tools: video, images, interactive content
• Select the right combination of tools and build expertise over time
• Work collaboratively: share resources, repackage content, support each other
How do I know if it’s all worthwhile?
• Strategy: regularly review
• Evidence: collect and interpret metrics– Measure what you value, don’t value what
you measure!
