It's always interesting to learn about what you do through someone else's eyes. When there's an opportunity for candid feedback, use it to refine your business strategy and look more innovatively at your performance.
The Brainzooming™ Group had a wonderful opportunity to get reactions to our strategic planning process last week from Nate Riggs. Nate started Social Business Strategies to help mid-sized & large organizations develop social media strategies and build internalized Human Business Teams.
Last Tuesday, The Brainzooming Group facilitated a large (35 person) social media strategic planning session for a four-year university. Nate Riggs was invaluable for his experience in working with other higher educational institutions on social media approaches.
We modified several Brainzooming strategy-building exercises to facilitate the large group and came away with great learnings. Nate's first-time reactions to how we efficiently and effectively manage strategic conversations were also helpful in continuing to refine our process. You can get a quick sense of Nate's views in this video and in his follow-up blog post on the strategic planning session.
Take a look, and let us know any questions you have on the approach, either for large groups or for developing social media strategy. - Mike Brown
