Social Business Bites #165 - Curated by Des Walsh
Hi
This week I'm following up on a suggestion to post my weekly Social Business Bites also on my website, and I'll be doing that on my blog.
If you prefer to consume your weekly bites on the website, there will be a link each week for
that.
Also, you might have noticed that this week's issue has a number - #165: I had a bit of a dilemma with the number in terms of whether or not to add in the handful of issues under the previous title, Des Walsh Updates: in the end, I did.
Previous issues have not been numbered but you can browse them at this link.
In this week's issue I'm
leading with an article from the highly respected Altimeter group, about the state of digital transformation. That's not tightly focused on "social business" but it is highly contextual and the report to which it refers and which you can download free of charge is by leading social business expert, Altimeter partner Brian Solis. The article includes highlights from the group's research findings, some of which might surprise you.
Also, as regular readers know, I am not a big fan of infographics, but in item 3 below, about social business trends for 2018, there is a clear and helpful infographic: prompted me for one to ask myself some serious questions. _____________________________________________
This Week's Top 3 Articles
In the new report, “The 2017 State of Digital Transformation,” we surveyed more than 500 executives and digital strategists to understand the current challenges and opportunities they are facing as they undergo a digital transformation.
This is the third annual report on the topic from Altimeter principal analyst Brian Solis.
Here’s a sentence I hadn’t anticipated writing: LinkedIn’s adding new, Snapchat-like video filters to its app.
Yes, LinkedIn is also copying Snapchat - though their use-case is a little different, and does make a lot of sense.
As part of their new native video tools, LinkedIn’s giving conference attendees the opportunity to add dedicated event frames to the videos they create while attending such functions.
____________________________________________________________ Laser Coaching
Could my laser coaching service help your business, or that of someone you know?
Are you finding it a challenge to get really clear on a business or career
opportunity?
That's not unusual.
Laser coaching is designed to help you get the resolution you need.
Laser coaching works on the principle that there is a truth in every
situation, a truth that may not always be obvious. Laser coaching brings that truth to the surface and supports the process of facing it square on, and then deciding on appropriate action.
After a laser coaching session with me, business coach Marla Tabaka said this:
In a single, thirty-minute conversation, Des redirected some concerns I had about my business model, introduced me to several valuable resources, and brought clarity to an issue that I’ve been struggling with for months. Yes, all of this in thirty-minutes!
