PROBLEM
 Low usage or non usage of social networks in
industrial environment.
 Due to no knowledge about profits (Open Innovation).
 Solution: Dissemination, delivering Business Cases:
(Workshops, Training, Multimedia, Surveys, Pilot
Experiences, Good Practices Guides, etc.).
 Coordinated actions in all sectors and
geographical areas simultaneously.
When business start using social networks must
watch their customers, suppliers and partners are
also using them with Attitude 2.0
So stakeholders could learn from them and motivate
themselves.

recognized speakers, business cases,
visibility, training or even sponsorship for
evangelization initiatives.
 To European Commission: simple & clear
policies to implement these actions, taking
profit of existing R&D and transference
regional networks specially focused to
applied ICT.
