Growing your networks
First session: Tuesday 2nd March 2010

An effective use of social media can provide opportunities for new kinds of thought-leadership and campaigning.
But before that is possible, it is essential that you are at the centre of a range of different networks – often created by yourself, but more often, using popular tools and on-line communities created by others.
You will learn…
- How to create an online community – different options
- How to use existing social networks to promote your online community
- Tactics for increasing your visibility in these networks
- Tactics for increasing your capacity to listen and respond
- Understanding the risks and managing them
- Making the business case for community building – and overcoming obstacles
Who is it for?
- CEOs and senior managers
- communications professionals
- councillors
- MLAs and their assistants
- NGOs & Third Sector professionals
- public sector managers
- policy specialists
You will leave this one-day session (10am – 4pm) with a clearer understanding of the skills and tools you will need to be a more effective communicator. It will provide an introduction to the aspects of social media that you will need to understand to improve your personal networks, and an outline of the technical skills you will need to realise these ambitions.
