Closing Keynote
Breaking Social Media Free of the Marketing Silo

Brian Solis, Author and Principal, Altimeter Group

Social Media is already a silo within the organization. According to almost every major study, the top 3 groups that own social media in corporate America are 1) Marketing, 2) Marketing Communication, and 3) Public Relations.
Wait, you're in marketing so why is this not good news for you? Because if social media lives in marketing, it by default creates an island within the organization that operates independently of the rest of the organization. This webinar will review the state of social media and what you can do to expand the role of marketing across the organization.

Taking the NO Out of InNOvation
Mike Brown, Founder, The Brainzooming Group

There are many reasons innovative business ideas are not generated and successfully implemented in businesses. Sometimes it is because there is NO orientation or mandate to innovate. In other cases, there are perceived to be NO capabilities in place or NO processes to cultivate innovation. No matter what the reason, inability to solve problems and capture opportunities in new ways can hold back any business. In this session, Mike will cover some of the most common NO's that block business innovation, what characteristics create each of these situation and possibilities to improve success amid innovation challenges.
