As required and guided by the PR strategy:
Who? – the right person in terms of constituent expectations,
consistency, topic, expertise, time zone and language
What? – active listening; then creating proactive opportunities
and reacting with the appropriate content
How? – with the appropriate tone of voice in the appropriate
content format
When? – as timely as the conversation demands (mins / hours)
What does success look like here?

Being the eyes, ears and mouth of an organisation to the
drumbeat of the daily news was never easy.
Being the eyes, ears and mouth, with heightened sensitivity
to influence and be influenced in real-time, requires
enhanced levels of strategic diligence, meticulous planning,
training, constant attention to detail and rigorous measurement.
This isn’t easy

It’s impossible to fake it.
Real-time PR must, by nature, be authentic.
Real-time PR marks the death of the persuasion / ‘spin’ school.
Long live two-way, symmetric PR fostering mutually beneficial
relationships between an organisation and its publics.
Reality is perception
Real-time PR is one of those facets of the modern PR discipline that separates
the 21st Century PR professional from the 20th Century practitioner.

This new reality, this complexity, demands more than ever that
we get back to basics, that we connect PR activity to the business
needs:
Unambiguously. Visibly. Transparently. Efficiently. Relentlessly.
The essence of real-time PR means that the bold and bright
articulation of your organisation’s mission, vision and values, and
the subsequent cascade, is more critical than ever.
Back to basics
![Page 12: How to Plan and Implement a Social PR Strategy that works for Your Organisation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55556c5db4c9058a5a8b4884/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Mission, values, vision…
CASCADE Mission – why do we exist?
Values – what guides our behaviour?
Vision – what do we want to be?
Business objectives – to get from A to B
Strategy – the plan to get us from A to B
Strategic objectives – wholly necessary and sufficient
to execute the plan
Tactics – activities to achieve the strategic objectives.

To win, organisations must approach this cascade with
professional rigour.
7 out of 10 organisations simply fail to execute their strategies1.
The Balanced Scorecard is the most popular approach to BPM…
1. Balanced Scorecard Institute
Business performance management (BPM)
![Page 14: How to Plan and Implement a Social PR Strategy that works for Your Organisation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55556c5db4c9058a5a8b4884/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

“The Balanced Scorecard transforms an organization’s strategic
plan from an attractive but passive document into the 'marching
orders' for the organization on a daily basis. It provides a
framework that not only provides performance measurements,
but helps planners identify what should be done and measured. It
enables executives to truly execute their strategies.
“It is a management system (not only a measurement system)
that enables organizations to clarify their vision and strategy and
translate them into action.”1
The Balanced Scorecard
![Page 15: How to Plan and Implement a Social PR Strategy that works for Your Organisation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051400/55556c5db4c9058a5a8b4884/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The Influence Scorecard is both part of and an augmentation to
the Balanced Scorecard.
Influence performance management (IPM) is the ease and
effectiveness with which we can manage and learn from influence
flows; integral to the process by which customers, citizens and all
stakeholders interact with organisations and governments to
broker mutually valuable, beneficial relationships.
The Influence Scorecard

The Six Influence Flows

Social media monitoring, or listening, aims to understand
what’s going on in social media within each of these influence
flows.
Social Web analytics is about identifying, tracking, listening to
and participating in the distributed conversations about a
particular brand, product or issue, with emphasis on quantifying
the trend in each conversation's sentiment and influence.
The social Web = social media + apps + services
+ the network of devices.
Monitoring and analytics

Success in real-time PR requires diligent cascade and influence
performance management.
In turn, to empower everyone to participate in the conversation
and behave appropriately, success in IPM requires:
Knowledge, Skills & Policies. Analytics & Workflow. Culture.2
2. Human, information and organisation capital in Balanced Scorecard terminology.

Measurement & evaluation closes the loop.
Are we executing the strategy as intended?
See the CIPR’s research, planning and measurement guidance3.
I chair the CIPR’s social media measurement group, and we’ll be
reporting in March 2011. In short metric selection and design is
as bespoke as one’s strategy.

A lot of work goes into readying for real-time PR, so best start
now proactively rather than when you really need it reactively.
Good luck.
And thanks for your attention.
Thank you
