Social media offers businesses, organizations and individuals a virtual treasure chest of opportunities to communicate, build community and save time and money on internal operations.
We now have access to tools that were only available to large
corporations a couple of years ago. These tools are rapidly becoming
more powerful, more affordable and better designed.
Blockwork introduces the services and concepts that are shaping online activity - with a focus on how they can support your work.
Depending on your needs, workshop takeaways may include:
- an overview of the concepts and tools that are shaping online services, focusing on resources for day-to-day business processes and new approaches to marketing
- a deeper understanding of social media within the context of your industry or field
- an understanding of tools you can start using immediately
- a personal action plan with concrete, manageable next steps you can take to start incorporating social media into your projects and work processes
- annotated, industry-specific references for continued exploration
- a customized web space which enables participants to continue the discussion from the training and share what they've been exploring
The training is customized for a specific business, organization or community of practice. It can run from one to two days. Workshops include a follow-up conference call or meeting to address questions, discoveries and options that exist after you have a chance to think consider and implement ideas from the initial training.
We also offer a 3-hour "get your feet wet" basic training session, focusing on core social media concepts and examples.
social media in translation
A community, in this context, is a group of people with common interests who connect with one another to learn, play, work, organize and socialize. Communities can be large or small, local or global. They can be public or restricted to members.
Social media tools make it easier for those of us with basic computer skills to create and distribute our stories and discuss the things we care about. They can also help us filter and organize the overwhelming amount of information on the web.
