Executive Overview of Social Media for the C's

I had an opportunity to speak with the "c"s at a leading Hawaii company today. That's shorthand for the CEO, the CFO, the CTO, the CLO, etc. As is standard practice, I do not disclose our consulting clients unless the client wishes to do so. They shall remain anonymous for now.I love doing this type of session - one and half hours of touring the social web and discussing the implications for marketing, customer service, new lines of business, technology, and of course the ever-present legal and HR concerns. Plus I enjoy working with smart people whose questions help me dig into my own background and experience.I am the personality type that actually gets smarter and energized by interacting with others, so you can see why I am drawn to this type of work. In today's case, the team member who has been implementing the social web assets was also present, adding very relevant information that I did not have regarding the company's current status. The only thing I forgot was to take my easy button!I like to share my presentations; today I created a small Quicktime movie that can be viewed on iPhones and video-enabled devices. I didn't want to clog the client's network with a large attachment so I chose to create this post and make the file available for download here, in case any of you readers find it useful. It includes a copy of Eric Qualman's awesome YouTube video, the Social Media Revolution, which we used to open the meeting.Download my presentation, Social Media: Hidden Pearls or Time Waster? as a Quicktime movie. (28 MB; slides without audio plus the embedded movie)FYI the feedback was awesome. If your company or a company you know if would like to have the business message of social media delivered to your executives, please contact me. I have an ability to converse with strategic thinkers who may not be technical but who desire to be innovators in their organizations and industries.Aloha,
