Earlier this week, myself and Ken Frakes (our head of digital media here at Radley Yeldar) hosted the last in the series of our breakfast seminars ‘Integrating social media into your internal communication strategy.’ The event was well attended by companies including Virgin Atlantic, Thomson Reuters and Pearson and it was great to hear about what kind of things people are doing in this space. From what we heard, social media is definitely taking off across a whole host of different organisations, both large and small. One company was using a wiki to help them collaborate and share information better across their business. Another had implemented a discussion forum and was using the output to update the CEO about what was top of mind for people across the business. This knowledge was then used to help direct the CEO’s communication agenda.
At the end of our presentation we also took a look into the future to see what delights Web 3 might hold for internal communicators and I must say I think that some of it looks pretty scary. However, for any of you technophobes out there, there’s hope for us all. The world’s oldest blogger has just died at the ripe old age of 106. Her name was Olive Riley and if you’re interested you can take a look at her blog here. This means that the world’s oldest blogger is now 96 which just goes to prove that social media isn’t only the preserve of Generation Y or younger.
