A conversation is going on in an executives’ meeting:
• We can’t allow the employees to do this
• We will loose control of our brand
• Employees will take time from their work
• Legal implications of the FDIC regulating communications- Legal liability
What are they talking about?
SAHAR CONSULTING3
AnswerAnswer
• It was a 1997 conversation is about
“Using Emails”
• Nowadays we are totally dependent on Emails that made faxes and writing memos almost obsolete, Social media is currently is decreasing our dependency on Emails.
• Emails were considered a fad, waste of time, only for college students then, exactly like social media is considered now
• Email is a social application a way to distribute scams &pornography, but we learned to sift through it- sounds familiar about Social Media?
