The Effective Use of LinkedIn to Achieve Business Results

Social executives are perceived as innovative and have a positive impact on their organization's information sharing and reputation.

Social executives put a face on and create a voice for the organization by delivering thought leadership, effective employee and customer communications, and impactful branding activities to enable the organization.

Social media professional development programs in corporate organizations achieve three key outcomes, namely:

  1. Teaching participants effective digital communication skills to influence business outcomes,

  2. Improving participant and organization online branding and networking, and

  3. Bolstering employee engagement.
