2.0 Corporation | Finding an approach


2.0 Corporation | “We” vs. “They”

Beware the big company that tries to venture into this, the small world owned by its individuals, without proper respect and perspective… Be a “we company” instead of a “they company” - but you have to mean it.

- Robert Young, serial entrepreneur

2.0 Corporation | …finding the “we”

•Stakeholders are people too

(They expect to be engaged with as and when they demand it)

•Opinions are as important as organised communications

(Technology-enabled word of mouth is immediate, simple, transparent, non-hierarchical, personal)

•Receptive companies will be “good” companies

(Careful listening and transparent reactions will be rewarded)

•Tools enable you to comprehend your place in “the 2.0”

(With over 80 million blogs and endless other CGM sources, investing in qualified aid is a smart move)

The SORT Code


Don’t “lose control”, but lose the Fear

Tools to help you immerse


What’s your share of voice?

You can’t manage what you can’t measure

What are the main topics?

Where is the coverage?

Who’s talking?

What’s the context?
