SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE FUTURE
In the last decade, social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, blogs and more have transformed how people communicate with friends, keep up with news, do business, and express their opinions on the companies they buy from. No organization can ignore the fact that their customers are talking about them with the world at large, and making decisions based on what they find on Internet, be it true or false. Many companies have discovered that social media in fact offers extraordinary opportunities for marketing, building powerful customer relationships, and attracting talented staff.

Example: In this presentation to the CIO summit, social media expert and keynote speaker Ross Dawson talked about how you can make social media a driving force for your business success.

He began with the imperative of adapting to rapid external change, and how organizations are increasingly driven by consumer technologies, including social media. After briefly describing the history of consumer social media, Dawson explored ten major trends shaping the future of social media, as well as key directions in the battle between social media platforms. He then examined the capabilities that organizations need to survive and thrive in a world increasingly shaped by social media.

TAPPING PERSONAL NETWORKS TO DRIVE BUSINESS SUCCESS
Research has repeatedly shown that an individual’s success and work performance are driven by the quality of their personal networks. Today, the degrees of separation between people are rapidly shrinking. We still meet people and develop many relationships face-to-face. However, online social networks are adding many ways to connect with people, build relationships, exchange ideas, and create an extraordinary life. Those who have the skills and character to create value with others will prosper the most. In this interactive keynote address, business networking expert Ross Dawson will show how connecting with the living networks can create liberating opportunities for yourself and others.

Example
Dawson gave a keynote speech on the topic ‘Driving Business Results through Personal Networks’ at the Gartner Symposium. The presentation covered diverse topics including why we need to understand the Bacon number, why boundary spanners are so critical for organizations, how to enhance serendipity, and steps to being an energizing leader.
