6. Perception is reality
May have been a relevant
axiom for 20th Century,
but now…
Reality is perception
The real-time social
enterprise must, by
nature, be authentic.
You can‟t fake it.

7. No organization is an island
Everything an organization does occurs in the context of a
changing world, in a dynamic interplay with every entity around it
Organizations must cultivate a sensitivity to the new
dynamic (one that‟s superior to competitors‟) and
sharpen their ability to interpret and respond to the
myriad communication flows issuing from all sides

8. Social analytics
If you could go back to the mid-90s
and offer a marketer a little box that
could sit on her desk and let her
listen in on thousands of customer
conversations and participate in
those discussions regardless of
geography or time zone, it would
appear so far-fetched that she‟d
probably call security.

‣ its people, partners, customers and other
stakeholders;
