Social Business Masterclass – ‘From Adoption to Adaptation, From Enablement into Engagement’

Wednesday June 8th – 9am to 15:30pm

Lunch and refreshments included

The Social Connections team are please to announce that as part of our Social Connections 10 event that we are collaborating with Luis Suarez to host an unique event in Toronto – a Social Business Masterclass!

What if instead of “driving” adoption within your organisation, you could inspire and facilitate adaptation instead? What if you would have the means to re-define a new way of working with your fellow colleagues and peers through that very same adaptation to become a successful Socially Integrated Enterprise? What if that methodology, good practices, extensive expertise and know-how would all be at your fingertips, so you could apply it right away? What if you knew the nuts and bolts of getting your management and senior leadership teams all involved right from the start to help facilitate the final social business transformation you have always been looking for? Are you ready?

Come and join us on this one day masterclass to find out and learn how you can get the most out of your IBM Connections deployment to begin, or continue, that transformation journey into becoming a successful Social Business.

What you can learn

You will learn how to

not only install social software, but also make your business into a social business
promote and support new ways of working in your company
get closer together with new forms of communication and collaboration between colleagues and business partners, and accelerate the digital transformation
avoid typical mistakes in the implementation of company-wide social networks and achieve successful results.
convince executives and middle management and may face resistance

Whether you are just getting started with your Social Business Adaptation Journey, or whether you are already a very well seasoned 2.0 knowledge worker, this workshop will provide you an opportunity to learn with other fellow practitioners through plenty of practical, hands-on advice, good practices, lots of hints and tips and, most importantly, all of the necessary knowledge resources available to date.

This session is going to be really focused, packed with value and offer tremendous opportunities to learn from both Luis and the other attendees’ experience. So do not hesitate too long. Places will be allocated in order of registration.

The cost to attend this masterclass is in addition to your attendance at the Social Connections Conference (the event is only open to attendees of the Social Connections conference). We have put together a really attractive rate for the masterclass and if you register before April 1st, you can benefit from a ‘Early bird’ rate!

What are you waiting for – please register now

Watch Luis Suarez at Social Connections VI: ‘From Adaptation to Engagement’

For the first time at Social Connections VI, we recorded every single session in glorious HD video – opening and closing sessions, keynotes, breakouts and even our ‘Pardon the Interruption’ panel. This was a huge (and expensive) undertaking but one that we think will be massively valuable in terms of increasing the volume of IBM Connections information and education available to the community.

Next to be highlighted is our closing keynote delivered by Luis Suarez of Change Agents Worldwide. Luis Suarez is a Chief Emergineer and People Enabler.

Their session brief was as follows:

In a business world changing at a rampant pace, where both speed & innovation matter more than ever before, where complexity & uncertainty are now the new normal & where only 13% of today’s corporate workforce is engaged at work, one cannot but wonder what’s the future of work eventually.
The traditional hierarchical, top-down driven business world (rather strict, competitive, bureaucratic & political) keeps failing to meet up with today’s customers’ needs & expectations. Work is changing though & the new opportunity is how do we best cope, manage & facilitate that change. Key concepts like co-creation, transparency, open knowledge sharing, cooperation, collaboration, authenticity, trust. etc. are becoming the new postnormal of how work gets done. It’s no longer top down mandated, but networked inspired & distributed. It’s hyperconnected, smarter, more scalable, as powerful & influential networks become the new funnel of getting work done.

Here’s the session – it’s in full HD and runs for 52 minutes, so make it full screen and enjoy!

All the main tent sessions from the first day of Social Connections VI are now available on the event channel, and the remainder of the sessions will be published over the next few weeks (thats the downside of HD-quality recordings – they take a while to upload!).

TagItOn… Luis Suarez masterclass – ‘From Adoption to Adaptation, From Enablement into Engagement’

News adaptation, adoption, elsua, event, ibmcnx, masterclass, prague, soccnx, socialconnections by Wannes Rams

As many of you will be aware by now, Social Connections VI takes place on 16th/17th June in the beautiful city of Prague in the Czech Republic. The team have just announced the agenda and speakers for the event, and have been highlighting a number of our sponsors over the past couple of weeks. It is shaping up to be an ‘exceptional social experience’! 🙂

We know that many attendees, speakers and sponsors will be travelling from a distance to attend the event (we already have registrations from Russia, USA, the Gambia, Indonesia and Australia), and thus we want to deliver the most bang for their bucks (or perhaps Krug for their Koruna?)!

Therefore, once again, Social Connections has an option for an additional day’s content at this event. We call this ‘Tag It On‘ and this time we are thrilled to offer a true masterclass by one of the worldwide experts in Collaboration and Social Business, Luis Suarez!

Luis will be delivering a full-day workshop on Wednesday, 18th June at the same venue as Social Connections VI, the Hotel Ambassador in Prague.

“From Adoption to Adaptation, from Enablement into Engagement”

What if instead of “driving” adoption within your organisation, you could inspire and facilitate adaptation instead? What if you would have the means to re-define a new way of working with your fellow colleagues and peers through that very same adaptation to become a successful Socially Integrated Enterprise? What if that methodology, good practices, extensive expertise and know-how would all be at your fingertips, so you could apply it right away? What if you knew the nuts and bolts of getting your management and senior leadership teams all involved right from the start to help facilitate the final social business transformation you have always been looking for? Are you ready?

Come and join us on this one day masterclass to find out and learn how you can get the most out of your IBM Connections deployment to begin, or continue, that transformation journey into becoming a successful Social Business.

With a maximum capacity of 25, this session is going to be really focused, packed with value and offer tremendous opportunities to learn from both Luis and the other attendees’ experience.

Whether you are just getting started with your Social Business Adaptation Journey, or whether you are already a very well seasoned 2.0 knowledge worker, this workshop will provide you an opportunity to learn with other fellow practitioners through plenty of practical, hands-on advice, good practices, lots of hints and tips and, most importantly, all of the necessary knowledge resources available to date. It will help you as well to even break free from the email yoke: Outside of the Inbox

The early bird rate is just €349 (or €279 for non-profit and academic users) – this rate ends on 30th April so if you want to attend, now’s the time to register!

(If you’d prefer to pay by bank transfer or need a VAT invoice, please contact us directly.)

This is a real opportunity that is not to be missed. Since Luis left IBM just a few short months ago, this is the first time he has been able to share the breadth of his experience and knowledge to a wider audience. Book this Tag It On workshop alongside your free attendance at Social Connections VI and get the very best value from your travel.

We can’t wait to see you there!
