Culture Transformation: The Key to Maximizing Value from Enterprise Social Business Technologies

Transforming to an enterprise social business platform is a complex undertaking and requires a clear strategic vision, objectives and goals, leadership and stakeholder alignment, and a compelling case for change in order to secure adequate funding and resourcing, and derive maximum value from social technologies across the enterprise. It also requires the ability to identify and prioritize business issues and requirements in order to build a holistic, end-to-end implementation road map, leveraging the right mix of social technologies, employee engagement and change management, integration with business processes, as well as an effective governance model, in order to be both successful and sustainable.

Rich Pearson will answer this question and discuss other realities and opportunities businesses are facing, including what might it look like if you rebuilt your team from scratch; what are examples of businesses innovating their hiring approach by tapping into freelancers; and how does hiring freelancers and building flexible teams work?
