What’s In It For Me?
Role Changes
• Look outside the industry:– iReport, Innocentive– IdeaStorm, MyStarbucks, Proctor &Gamble, etc…
• Some reporters shift into editorial roles• Some researchers and strategists shift into
coordinators, facilitators
Transform Your Role
• What are the core skills a 2.0 company needs?– Sharing expertise, connecting the dots– Community culture, wisdom of the crowds…
• “Teach a man to fish” or “Teach a man to teach”?• Do you want to be the pipe or the plumber?
Rethink Your Scope
