Evolving to adopt Social Media…
For my company it’s no longer a nice-to-have. Within the next five to 10 years, our younger workforce will expect us to match the pace of the Internet and deploy social media tools. If we don’t our messages will not be heard.

The Importance of Community Relations
There are some powerful relationship realities between various community groups and organizations. Corporations and institutions must prove their validity, honesty, and trustworthiness every day. Community relationships are effectively maintained primarily through engagement with various publics and audiences within the community and your organization.

Community Involvement the Wrong Way
There are wrong ways to demonstrate community involvement as well. If you volunteer to work on a committee but are never available for meetings, or if you sponsor a little league team and don't show up for games, you're proving yourself to be crass and superficial, probably sucking up the community to get business instead of working for it for altruistic reasons. Consumers are more sophisticated than ever these days. People know the difference between serving the community and serving yourself. If you're not willing to devote honest time and energy to your community, you're better off skipping this weapon and leaving it to the real guerrillas in your community. I just hope for your sake that none are your direct competitors.
Social media builds business, creates a trusted community
Social media networks can help build your business, but they also provide you with a trusted community of people with whom you can share the details of your life. They are the "community newspapers" of our time.
Project Management for Internet Marketing: What Is A Project?

What Is Twitter And Why Do I Need To Be Using It?
Today you read about Twitter everywhere. It’s one of these social network sites which have exploded into our community. So you ask yourself what is it and why should I be using it. Well it’s like asking somebody why they should use the phone. Why put an ad in the local paper? It’s another way of brand building and it’s a way to stay connected to your community. You send people in the direction of something you want to tell them either it’s about yourself or other cool things in the world. It’s about adding value to the community and building relationships.

A Smooth (Business) Operation
Every business has its operations, whether they are highly organized, in disarray, or somewhere in between. Your business operations are HOW you design, produce, deliver, support, and maintain the products and services your business offers. The purpose of having business operations is to document, manage, and improve repeatable processes and systems that make your business sustainable, efficient, and profitable.

Who Wants a Coffee Franchise?
If you look around your community or town you will find that there are all kinds of businesses (unless of course you live in a very small town or community of course). It takes all kinds of businesses to keep a community running smoothly and meet the laws of supply and demand. Now, take a look at your community through the eyes of a potential business owner. Take note of specialty shops, franchise stores, and retail establishments that line the streets and boulevards of your hometown. Is there are coffee franchise among the mix and if so, how many?
Your Rules of Business
Do you have a set of rules that you use in your business, that go beyond just operations? These may or may not be something you'd add to your business plan, but do need to be integrated into your operations. They are the standards, and guidelines for how you do things, to what standard, and why. And hiding behind the position of being 'creative' does not excuse you from having these - in fact, creative type managers and entrepreneurs need these the most!

Lining Up The Pillars Of Your Strategy: Syncing Strategy With Operations
Is your organization’s strategy embodied in your business operations? How confident are you, as the champion of your strategy, that it is on track within the layers of your business operations? Strategy alignment is the synchronization of strategic goals with operations and execution tactics. Strategy “misalignment” occurs when operational initiatives are not in sync with the defined strategic goals of the organization. Most organizations inherently suffer from some amount of immaturity and unsophistication in their planning process, and this directly leads the the misalignment issue you want to avoid.
