Business, Social Innovation, and Public Policy - #SMWBBG
Bringing stakeholders in government together for civic innovation. 22 February 2013, Bloomberg Tower
The #NYC team is at Bloomberg for Public Policy & Social Innovation w. @MattSegneri @pjfiorenza @cheeky_geeky #SMWBBG http://pic.twitter.com/LCc3TdQyAo- Social media is bringing businesses, government, and their stakeholders closer together. At this business-people-government nexus, what are the possibilities for social change through social media? While one should not expect an exhaustive deep-dive over the course of this midday panel session, the ideas presented should inspire further brainstorming and action.
Loving the use of live polling for this panel - Public Policy & Social Innovation @BloombergLP #smw13 #SMWBBG http://pic.twitter.com/VrpJFqK5vz- Kicking-off with introductions from the panellists on how they view digital social media and its role as an enabler of change.
"Public Policy & Social Innovation" kicks off w/ @MattSegneri @pjfiorenza @cheeky_geeky & moderator @tackettdc (thanks @gwynniejt) #smwbbg- For the general public, the State of the Union Address has become the most visible example of how social media connects with public policy.
#SMWBBG @tackettdc: On #socialmedia, I went from total sceptic to agnostic to full-church member. I saw its power as media--i.e. #SOTU.
"We're seeing an explosion of #socialmedia impacting public policy." - @tackettdc of @BloombergNews #SMW13 #smwbbg- 'Social media' tends to connote 'communications'; 'social business' means going beyond that function and creating a connected/un-siloed organization.
- #SMWBBG @cheeky_geeky: At @Microsoft & #tech companies, #social has increasing become the way we communicate, but we can improve & do more.
- #SMWBBG @cheeky_geeky: Our blogs were very geeky & tech-oriented given our audience, but we still needed something akin to @BloombergTV.
- #SMWBBG @cheeky_geeky: We do not try to compete with journalists, but provide a way to experience @Microsoft in a digital way.
- Here is an example of Microsoft's effort to engage a broader audience.
So @cheeky_geeky from @microsoft & @bloomingdales have #geektochic fashion shows in metro areas. Lets bring it to NYC! #smwbbg
