In the book, we tell the story about the American Red Cross and how beginning with listening had an unanticipated outcome – it helped demonstrate the value of social media and lead to a shift to a social culture.I have been honored to have the opportunity to present with and learn from Wendy Harman who works at the Red Cross. As an early adopter of social media shortly, we can take a look back and see the arc of this transition to a more social culture. Let’s take a quick look at that ….
In early 2010, I started to notice social media as part of program delivery – continuing evidence of a social culture.
Organizational culture is the psychology, attitudes, and experiences and beliefs of the people who lead organizations. Culture impactsUse social media to engage people inside and outside the organization to improve programs, services, or reach communications goals. Embrace mistakes and take calculated risksReward learning and reflectionUse a “try it and fix it as we go” approach that emphasizes failing fastOvercomes organizational innertia Understand and appreciate informality and individuality do not necessarily indicate a lack of professionalism and caring.Trust staff to make decisions and respond rapidly rather than craw through endless check-ins and approval processes
Rewards learning and reflectionTry it and fix it approach – fail fastAppreciates individuality and that does not indicate a lack of professionalism or caringTrusts staff to make decisions and respond rapidly

Organizations and people do too much because they work within systems that took complicated.Complexity slows us down and keeps good ideas and energy behind the firewallMaking something complex is easy, simplicity is harder.It was hard for me to put one word on the slideThe networked nonprofit has clarified what it does and focuses their energy on what they do best and networks the rest. Simplicity powers more informal connections between people and organizations and blurs boundaries – enables insiders to get out and outsiders to get in.It helps organizations scale.
Focus on what you do best, network the rest
