Enterprise Social Technology
By

Klososky
Social technologies have infiltrated the business
world, yet most don’t
know what to do with them. Many
organizations are either blocking their
use, or simply
experimenting with how they might be of benefit.
Because
tools like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn
started with personal use,
little has been done to
holistically address how social tools can be
fully
integrated into an organization. In addition, most leaders
have
little idea what the full collection of capabilities
is that exist under
the social umbrella.
Until now.
A
new breakthrough executive guide to social media/networking
by thought
leader Scott Klosoky, Enterprise Social
Technology, demystifies this
much-hyped subject and gives
readers a levelheaded, growth-focused
approach to putting
all kinds of social technology-not just the
big,
well-known platforms-to work.
Covering every
aspect of social technology in the business
area-from
planning and goal-setting and assembling a
social tech team, to
measuring the return on
investment-Enterprise Social Technology presents
a
blueprint for success in the coming millennium.
“This
book is a how-to manual,” says Klososky, “that will
teach you a
process for implementing social technology in
its most powerful form.”
“I want to move the
discussion past whether a CEO should be tweeting,”
adds
Klososky, “or the organization developing a Facebook fan
page, and
toward how leaders can holistically integrate
the full range of social
technology tools to make a truly
meaningful difference in their
organizations. Just as
personal computers, the Web and e-commerce has
caused
dramatic changes in how organizations operate, social
technology
also will alter the way we do
business.”
Only a social technology pioneer as Klososky
could present these
practical strategies using the very
technology he describes. Klososky
created Enterprise
Social Technology using the technique
of
crowdsourcing-the act of outsourcing tasks to a large
group of people or
community (a crowd), through an open
call-opening authorship to those
specialists who know the
subject matter the best.
“Here is how the system
worked,” explains Klososky. “I created the
detailed
outline for the book, chapter by chapter, and wrote the
first
section and the last two chapters. Using
crowdSPRING.com, I crowdsourced
the content for the other
chapters. In the end, we found that
crowdsourcing worked,
even for a project as complex as writing a
book.”
Enterprise Social Technology provides a model for
implementing social
tech within any size organization and
teaches:
* How to set social tech goals
* How
to assemble a social tech team
* Integrating social
tech tools into the sales process
* Online reputation
management
* The future of social technologies
* And much more!
“When you implement a powerful
tool before your competition,” adds
Klososky, “you
can win market share, create wealth and even
generate
social good. Considering all these benefits, it
is obviously that the
race is on to figure out how to
leverage social teach tools to win big
in business.
Enterprise Social Technology will help you cross
that
finish line first.”
Scott Klososky, a former CEO
of three successful startup companies,
specializes in
looking over the horizon with how technology is
changing
the world. Scott's vision and ability to see
trends in emerging
technologies allow him to be a thought
leader who applies his skills to
help organizations
thrive, leaders prosper, and entire industries
move
forward.
His unique perspectives on technology,
business culture, and the future
allows him to travel the
globe as a speaker and consultant, working with

corporations
to universities and nonprofits.

second
generation online banking platform provider, and
Crowdscribed, a new
publishing brand. He also consults
with many organizations on how to
integrate social
technologies into their organization's
strategic
direction as well as how to improve their
utilization of technology as
a
tool.
