Social networking tools provide options for bringing people together that were unthinkable less than 10 years ago. No matter how your organization achieves it (Rotary Club, LeTip or Linked In): The “Power of Collaboration” to inject new ideas, create additional revenue, and increase the value of your organization remains constant.
Ideas Evolving is using social networking tools (Linked In, Facebook, Twitter, etc) to expand our network of collaboration partners. The following is an example of the results we have experienced through use of social networking platforms.
While planning a vacation to Grand Rapids, MI; I used Linked In’s www.linkedin.com speakers and panelists group to search for a speaking engagement. I made a connection with a fantastic collaboration partner, Lynne Jarman Johnson http://www.thejjway.com. Lynne and I were Co-Presenters at a workshop on July 8th in Grand Rapids and are looking forward to a “Road Show” this fall in Michigan.
One of the attendees at the event, Ken Jacobsen Jr., Director of Sales and Marketing for The TM Group http://www.tmgroupinc.com was kind enough to blog on what he experienced during the presentation and how it affects The TM Group’s stakeholders. http://www.erpsoftwareblog.com/2009/07/get-the-rust-out-with-dynamics-gp/.
What set this chain of events in motion? One new connection on Linked In. The question for your organization: Will embracing online collaboration enhance the valuestream of your business?
Ideas Evolving has increased our pipeline and been introduced to new market opportunities by making connections on Linked In, Facebook, Twitter, and Biznik www.biznik.com.
Whether you want to meet at Starbucks, send messages via Carrier Pigeon or connect online; the Ideas Evolving team looks forward to collaborating with you in the near future.
