7. POPE’S MESSAGE TO PRIESTS: WE MUST BLOG “ The spread of multimedia communications and its rich ‘menu of options’ might make us think it sufficient simply to be present on the Web, or to see it only as a space to be filled. Yet priests can rightly be expected to be present in the world of digital communications as faithful witnesses to the Gospel , exercising their proper role as leaders of communities which increasingly express themselves with the different ‘voices’ provided by the digital marketplace . Priests are thus challenged to proclaim the Gospel by employing the latest generation of audiovisual resources (images, videos, animated features, blogs, websites) which, alongside traditional means, can open up broad new vistas for dialogue, evangelization and catechesis. ” Pope Benedict XVI “ exercising their proper role as leaders of communities which increasingly express themselves with the different ‘voices’ provided by the digital marketplace.”

Every company is different and there’s no one way of making the case for introducing social media An excellent first step is to identify your key stakeholders/decision makers – ie, who do you need to convince? Ask the floor to brainstorm all the areas they may want to consider eg Leadership Team, HR, IT, security, legal, PR/external comms etc. Once establishing your stakeholders, work out how you will approach each. Examine what benefits social media will bring to each of the stakeholder groups. Brainstorm around the room for examples eg. increased productivity, cost savings, more engaged workforce, attracting talent, building a platform/environment for the next generation, innovation and collaboration Dealing with tricky customers/nay sayers – identify who these are and carefully establish why they are skeptical or even a blocker. Work on tactics to mitigate these concerns. Find allies – in particular among your key stakeholder groups – use them to help fight your corner and also keep your priorities at the top of their teams’ agendas Establish guidelines early on and use these to help convince and reassure those with concerns – provide examples of published guidelines THERE’S NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH
