Friday Roundup: J.Boye Recap Edition

We kicked off an exciting May of travel by tagging along with Rachel as she attended the J.Boye Web & Intranet Conference in Philadelphia. Rachel, along with three TheCR Network members, presented at the conference, and if our twitter stream is any indication, a great time was had by all.

Next week Rachel and Shannon will visit Orlando for Collective 2014, and the week after Jim, Hillary and Jillian will trek to the West Coast and visit San Francisco for Lithium’s LiNC. Will you be attending any of these events? Let us know – we’d love to catch up in person!

Didn’t get to attend J.Boye? We’ve pulled together all our favorite moments from the three day event in our very first Storify and included it at the end of this post.

Don’t worry – we didn’t forget the links (or the jobs!) this week:

Framework: Collaborative Economy Honeycomb – “The Collaborative Economy enables people to efficiently get what they need from each other. They use powerful technologies that enable Crowdfunding, Peer-to-Peer lending, the Maker Movement, and the Sharing Economy. If you look closely, the crowd is becoming like a company: self funding, designing, producing, and sharing what they already have.”

To Be Heard, Turn Down The Volume – “What is it about the Internet that has made everybody so sure of themselves? You’d think the level of disruption during the past 20 years would have had the opposite effect. Instead, the number of people stepping onto their virtual soapboxes and telling the rest of us what to do and think has exploded. They opine with such surety, such clarity, such force.”

New Webinar: Community Manager Spotlight with Ian White – This 30 minute live webinar on June 3rd at 2pm ET will focus on Ian’s community journey and his team’s innovative use of a community customer support model. His team recently won a silver award for Best Use of Technology in Customer Service at the eighth annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. This webinar will include a Q&A – have your questions ready.

Want to Succeed in Social Business? Invest in It .- “The good news is that 76 percent of communities have approved strategies. This is a great indication that organizations and executives can now envision the value communities will contribute to their business and suggests a maturing market. The bad news? Only 35 percent communities have approved and resourced roadmaps.”

TheCR on the Road – The J.Boye Web & Intranet Conference

May 7, 2014 By Jim Storer

By Shannon DiGregorio Abram, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable. jetblue

After an exciting April in Boston we’re hitting the road in May – visiting three cities in three weeks to connect with members and clients around the country. This week Rachel will attend the J. Boye Philadelphia 14 Web & Intranet Conference in Philadelphia, next week Rachel and Shannon will visit Orlando for Collective 2014 and the week after Jim, Hillary and Jillian will trek to the West Coast and visit San Francisco for Lithium’s LiNC.

Will you be attending any of these events? Let us know – we’d love to catch up in person! Each of these events is exciting in its own way and we wanted to give you an insider perspective on what we’re looking forward to most. I spoke with Rachel about the J.Boye event this week, which they describe as being:

“…born out of the desire to let people share and learn in an open environment; stimulating and inspiring events with presentations, demos, intense discussions and ample opportunity to expand your network in a social, informal campus-style atmosphere.”

From Rachel:

“My friend Claire (Flanagan) told me several years ago that the J. Boye conference was a don’t miss event and it’s definitely not your typical conference. The team at J.Boye are very intentional about creating participant collisions and orchestrating the attendee experience so each participant walks away energized and inspired. Everything from the sessions to the networking to use of the physical space the event takes place in is thoughtful and intentional. 

I’m also looking forward to seeing a number of our members speak – it is probably the largest concentration of TheCR Network members speaking in one place. Jeff Ross from Humana is presenting a session titled  “Building a 30,000-User Enterprise Social Network” which will be an inside look at building and maintaining a successful enterprise social network.

Another exciting member session will be a case study from Chris Catania at Walgreens on “Using community management strategies to drive social intranet adoption, collaboration and employee engagement.” Chris will share how his team is using community management strategies to roll out their new social intranet/employee community, The Wall.

I’m also looking forward to James LaCorte’s presentation on “Selling Social Media to the C-Suite”  – he’ll share  his tips and tricks to leading the executive horse to the water – and making it drink! Between these member-led sessions and great networking opportunities I know this is going to be a special week in Philadelphia.”

Rachel failed to mention that she’ll be presenting a session on collaboration and social enterprise – “A vision for the networked organization.” We can’t wait to her about her trip – if you’re going to be in Philadelphia for the J.Boye event please find Rachel and say hello!
