What is a social
business?




A social business is an organisation with the strategies, technologies
and processes to systematically engage all the individuals in its
ecosystem - employees, customers, partners and suppliers - to better
deliver on shared goals

Why is everyone
talking about it




"Social gives us new revenue streams, and new ways to
bring value to customers. It's accelerating learning,
communication, connecting the right people to the right
