‘Terminal Degrees’ – the Economist
‘If universities were to face the same conditions over
the next 10 to 20 years that daily newspapers faced
over the last 10 to 20, then revenues would fall by more
than half, employment in the industry would drop by
nearly 30% and more than 700 institutions would shut
their doors.’ (Economist, 2014)

Power Shift
Social media empowers
customers, empowers the
network
We no longer control the brand
The brand becomes the customer
experience of the brand –
experiences that are widely
shared online
38. ENERGISE2-0.COM
Customers in Control
• How relevant is the traditional ‘outbound’ approach to sales,
marketing, PR and service in an era where the
customer/buyer is in control?
• Do we need to move to a new ‘inbound’ approach based on:
– Authentic storytelling
– Content that adds value to our customers/buyers
– Data and analytics
– Real time engagement
– Creating excellent online customer experiences
39. ENERGISE2-0.COM
Rethinking Marketing & PR
• Unlearn marketing – it is no
longer ‘about us’
• New ‘mindset’ required
• Stop telling people how good
we are. Prove it. Spin is dead.
• A shift from Outbound Marketing to Inbound/Content Based
Marketing
47. ENERGISE2-0.COM
The Evidence (Demand)
• Inbound customer requests on Twitter have increased by
208% and by 85% on Facebook
• 72% of consumers posting a customer service
question/complaint on Twitter expect a response within 1
hour (faster response times may be required in certain
industries e.g. public transport sector)
• 32% of social customers expect a response within 30 minutes
• 57% of consumers think brands’ response times on social
media should be the same during weekends/weeknights as
they are during business hours
• 59% of 18 to 24 year olds use social media for customer
service
• 96% of customers are affected by the social comments of
other customers 47
48. ENERGISE2-0.COM
The Evidence (Supply)
• Few brands are delivering despite advances in Social
Customer Service technology
• Only 32 of the top 100 global brands have a separate
customer service handle on Twitter
• Only 29% of companies state that Social Customer Service is
an important objective; by contrast, 62% state that customer
acquisitions via social media is ‘very important’
• Only 36% of consumers report having their social customer
service enquiries solved quickly and effectively. Canned
responses are common
• Only 59% of companies monitor social media for mentions

It is no longer just abut Social Media,
it is also about Social Business –
‘Enterprise Social’

54. ENERGISE2-0.COM
The times they are a changin'
• Current leading-edge thinking is that we are on the verge of
another tectonic shift: from Social Media to Social Business
• A Social Business is one that develops innovative new work
methods and processes by applying social thinking, social
strategy, social culture, social organisation and social
technologies to everything it does (internally as well as
externally). Social across the value chain.
• Organisations who ‘get this’ will survive and prosper - those
who don’t will become 21st century dinosaurs
63. ENERGISE2-0.COM
The evidence would suggest NOT….
• ‘The State of Digital Business in 2014’ - only 15 percent of companies
have the capability to implement digital strategies (Forrester Research,
2014)
• Successful digital business transformation requires the full support of
CEOs to drive investment priorities. However, few CEOs fully
understand digital
• We are facing a Digital Execution Crisis. Missing digital skills are the
key hurdle to digital transformation in 77% of the companies surveyed
(see also - ‘The Digital Talent Gap: Developing Skills for Today’s Digital
Organizations, 2013’ – CapGemini)
• Leading US Bs Schools such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT and others have
responded to the digital business skills shortage by offering Executive
Programmes in ‘Driving Digital Change’. The majority of Business
Schools in most other countries have been much slower to respond
63
65. ENERGISE2-0.COM
Digital Leaders Urgently Required
• A new breed of senior executive is required – Digital
Business Leaders
• Executives who combine high level business knowledge
and experience with the ability to develop Digital
Transformation Strategies fully aligned with and
supportive of agreed business goals and objectives
• Executives with the personal skills and confidence to
drive organisational change

Bob Dylan (Mashed Up )
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And don’t criticise
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin‘
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
