I already wrote many posts about social CRM on this blog and I recently had the (unfortunate ?) opportunity to add a real life experience to my thoughts. Those who’d prefer to pass over the narative of a long story may directly go to the bottom of the page to read the conclusion.
The situation

Will you know how to export your conversations and focus on transactions ?

December 7th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, HR & Management 2.0, Social Networking, recruitment

The world of communication and marketing is worried because of the consecration of digital medias, an highbrow word used to talk about the web by people who are suddently feeling out of date.

It’s time to sum up all the thoughts I had these last months.

Community management Vs Socio-Collaborative management : how to make the right choice

November 17th, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Communities, HR & Management 2.0, Organization & Management, Social Networking, social computing

I already wrote how dangerous it was to use community management for every kind of purpose, and that instead of seing communities everywhere (which need community managers), enterprises have to learn to recognize groups who only need a “simple” manager who’s doing his job right.
Using social platforms in the context of teamwork has a purpose [...]

Social CRM and lead generation : headaches ahead !

November 2nd, 2009 · View Comments · Communication, Organization & Management

Objectively, to my mind, Social CRM is the first concrete and operational formalization of the wider enterprise 2.0 concept. But it won’t go without bringing many questionings for marketing people as well as  possible disputes.

McKinsey recently issued a report entitled Managing beyond web 2.0 which is about constraints businesses are meeting in a connected world.
