BEST PRACTICES <strong>2012</strong><br />

Maintain a value-added mindset, speak their language, develop C-suite<br />

champions.<br />

When working with your end users, turn it to them instead of to you. Not<br />

what I do but what I do in the integrative context. Then everyone listens.<br />

Do, don’t say.<br />

Promote, don’t defend.<br />

See yourself as a brand. Own your brand/public profile. Differentiate<br />

yourself. You’re building a 3-D profile. Cross-link your online personas.<br />

“Social media puts your brain in the cloud.”<br />

How to add value to your profile: live-tweet conferences, blog some<br />

conference highlights, share your presentations.<br />

How to create a following on Twitter: Write so that you can be retweeted.<br />

Follow interesting people on Twitter and retweet them. Pace yourself. Don’t<br />

be flat – show dimension. Don’t post in the heat of the moment.<br />
