  • "Connecting the future of mobility: Re-imagining the role of telecommunications in the new transportation ecosystem"

    Deloitte University Press / Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2017

And that means that telecom companies will likely play as integral a role as any automaker, tech giant, or urban planner.

    Presented at Mobile World Congress (Barcelona) 2017.

    While the majority of Social Media strategies today focus on the "power of the masses", these approaches often overlook the fact a smaller number of "Influencers" can disproportionately drive adoption of ideas (and brand messaging) among the masses. Targeted strategies that effectively tap these Influencers can return disproportionately significant value to a brand.

    While the majority of Social Media strategies today focus on the "power of the masses", these approaches often overlook the fact a smaller number of "Influencers" can disproportionately drive adoption of ideas (and brand messaging) among the masses. Targeted strategies that effectively tap these Influencers can return disproportionately significant value to a brand. Deloitte has developed an Influencer-centric and execution-focused framework that can help companies transform the way they approach Social Media, recognize tangible impacts, and shift the balance of power in the industry
    This framework (INCITE) incorporates both strategic and technical implementation elements that can help companies develop an Influencer-centric strategy to maximize their social brand impacts – from identifying Influencers, to targeting them with specially designed strategies, to measuring impacts and refining these strategies. Executing this approach will allow companies to transform their approach to and the results that they see from their Social Media initiatives, which can have the effect of not only addressing all of the key identified challenges but even potentially disrupting the balance of power in the industry.

    Leadership & Organization Development Journal / Global Organization Development Summit 2006

    Winner of the Best Paper Award from Emerald Publishers (Leadership & Organization Development Journal). Presented at the Global Organization Development Summit 2006.
