The Organisational Consequences of Adopting Social Media

Closing keynote by Euan Semple.

The Internet generation is already entering the workforce, but the old ways of managing them are beginning to struggle. How do you manage staff who wants to connect with their peers and support networks 24/7? How do you adapt to not only cope with the changes in expectations, but actually see them as opportunities to do more for less – and possibly have fun doing so?

In this keynote Euan will cover:

  • Networked working
  • From control to influence
  • Ownership of social media in the business
  • Policies for your staff on the web

Euan Semple is one of the foremost independent advisors on the application of social computing within the business world. He is also known as an eminent blogger and public speaker. He spent many years at the BBC culminating in a senior Knowledge Management position, where he amongst other things introduced very successful forums, blogs and wikis.
