The game is changing...even for organisations choosing not to implement social media internally. OK if I use the same image to make a similar point in a presentation I'm about to give? It sums this up perfectly!

It seems supremely ironic to see organisations trying to "control" social media rather than seeking to simply "honestly enter the conversation." Some are doing it better than others. But it does take balls of steel at the end of the day in a world which is, let's face it, quite risk and change averse from a business management perspective, and certainly not used to much more than command-and-control when it comes to any sort of communication with stakeholders. Exceptions certainly exist... The UGC point brings the whole authenticity issue to the front.
