Integrated Company Communication

Integrated Company Communication: Using Social Tools to Collaborate, Learn and Innovate

Overview

Facebook Workplace and other popular corporate collaboration tools, such as Yammer, Slack, Skype, WhatsApp and Salesforce Chatter, all promise a kind of magic bullet for today’s geographically diverse workplace. And, if the goal is easier communication and a more modern channel for information sharing, then these tools can achieve some measure of success.

Diversity begets creativity—in this seminar, we tap the amazing power of swarm creativity on the Web by studying and working together as Collaborative Innovation Networks (COIN). We will explore how to discover the latest trends on the Web, and how to make them succeed in online social networks. We will study a wide range of methods for predictive analytics (coolhunting) and online social marketing (cool farming), mostly based on social network analysis and the emerging science of collaboration. Students will also learn Web mining, social network analysis, and trend prediction.

Collaborative Learning brings learners together to exchange ideas and apply knowledge to real problems with collaborative and formal learning tools. By interacting with peers from across the organization, learners more easily acquire and retain the skills they need to excel in their roles. Your organization can close skills and leadership gaps and position itself for success, now and into the future.
