The Path to Co-Creating a Social Business: The Early Adoption Phase

The Path to Co-Creating a Social Business: The Early Adoption Phase

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 21, 2011

Sometimes the efforts are small and unsanctioned, sometimes they are big and bold, but increasingly businesses are employing social media strategically to engage deeply with both their workers and customers. We see this all the time […]

Focusing on Adoption (exclusively) is a Dead-End

Focusing on Adoption (exclusively) is a Dead-End

By Susan Scrupski on February 24, 2011

For an early adopter market, adoption in this space always seems to get a bad rap.  Why is that?  Because adoption is not the end-game.  It’s the beginning.  In the Council, the members are focused on changing hearts and minds and promoting the use of social tools in order to drive acceptance for a new […]

Social Business on the Ground

Social Business on the Ground

By Susan Scrupski on October 27, 2010

When we set out to investigate case studies, we were looking for “slam dunk” examples where 2.0 initiatives were inextricably tied to business results.

Working Out Loud*

By Susan Scrupski on September 13, 2010

It occurred to me recently that my blogging has all but slammed to a screeching halt.  Since the Council was bought by Dachis Group, I’ve barely managed to blog at all, and my tweeting has wound down considerably, as well.   This is not to say I’ve slowed down with social engagement, in fact, it’s […]

Social CRM Faces Initial Adoption Hurdles From Management
In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced the “Five Stages of Grief” in her book, On Death and Dying. These five stages can be summed up as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.  When applied to disruptive technology adoption by organizations, the “Five Stages” framework […]
