Enterprise Social Workshop: Transforming Your Digital Communication and Collaboration to Drive Real Business Results - led by Daggerwing Group Inc
CEOs are expecting a lot from their communications leaders these days – wider collaboration, faster decision-making, more opportunities for dialogue, real-time global reach and metrics that prove value to the business.

If you are a company with offices all over the world, how do you get everyone together quickly? How do you spark innovation when employees are digging through long email threads and running from one meeting to the next all day? How do you accelerate decision-making and delivery when you have to dig through files on an intranet or file server to find the information you need?

Communicators and leaders of over 30,000 companies are meeting these challenges and transforming the way they collaborate and get work done with Workplace by Facebook, the enterprise version of the world’s most prolific social network.

Learn how you can transform your digital collaboration strategy, including:
 
  • Learning key trends and business rationale for making work communications more like the ways we communicate in our personal lives
  • Getting an overview of Workplace by Facebook, including top use cases and key functionality
  • Understanding how leading companies are improving their digital communication and collaboration and driving real business results with Workplace
  • Conducting interactive exercises to assess how Workplace can transform the way you work, identify top use cases and business drivers

Mobile Workshop: Building the Business Case and Plan for a Successful Employee Communications App - led by Sitrion
Internal communication is critical to the strategic direction and success of your organization. The more effective your communications are, the more connected, productive, and engaged your workforce will be. That is why it’s crucial as part of your planning to leverage modern mobile technology – an employee communications app – to reach and engage all of your employees, including those hard-to-access non-desk employees who are in the field, on-the-go, or off-site.

While you recognize the value of a mobile app for your employee communication needs, you are probably faced with two challenges:

  1. How do I get internal buy-in?
  2. How do I build a plan that will gain the ongoing participation of my employees?
Attend this session and be prepared to build a plan for your organization that will get the buy-in you need to get started and the plan required for success. Whether you are just starting your research or have decided on an approach for your employee app, you’ll find value in this workshop. Learn how you can move forward with the right plan for your organization, including:

  • Defining the core components of a business case to gain crucial support for leadership and stakeholders
  • Understanding best practices for developing an employee-centric strategy
  • Discovering how other organizations have found success with an employee app

  • Discuss when/where/how they should be used/considered
