The Business Impact of the Social Web

Dave — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 06:06:54 +0000

I was interviewed in April 2009 by long-time and colleague Tom Parish, Host of EnterpriseLeadership.org and BMC Community Podcasts. Tom asks me about social media and its impact at the enterprise level. This is one of the areas where I spend a lot of time, as the business impact of social media and the Social Web will dwarf the current excitement over the advertising applications.

The interview itself is about 30 minutes long (so grab some coffee!); in it we cover:

Operational and Enterprise implementations
Social CRM and the integration of analytics
The transition to Netbooks and mobile
