Cold war secrec y created a need-to-know culture that impeded unofficial information sha ring. State’s diplomatic corps is selected for risk aversion and trained to obtain many clearances and authorizations before officially transmit ting information internally. \;\n \;\nThen the end of the Cold Wa r was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradig m shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this sh ift\, the State Department’s office of eDiplomacy was born. \;\n 3\;\nCome find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to n eed-to-share one. \;\n \;\nMeet Richard Boly\, Director of eDiplom acy\, US Department of State \;\nRichard Boly is a career U.S. diplom at and currently the Director of the Office of eDiplomacy\, an applied t echnology think tank for the United States Department of State.

There are 3 primary reasons why busin esses fail with their Social Media efforts: \;\n \;\n1. The busine ss has a siloed organizational structure. Social media can often blur th e lines between customer service\, sales\, marketing and even R&\;D. Be open to change. \;\n \;\n2. The business leaders think social m edia is nothing more than another marketing tactic. But \;\nthis appr oach leads to pushy selling and inconsistent messaging and can turn off more business in the long-term. These new tools require a different mind set than traditional marketing. \;\n \;\n3. The business leader mi stakenly assumes that because many of the social channels are free that they are easy to use and so jump in without a strategy. After this doesn ’t work\, they conclude that social simply doesn’t work. The problem\, h owever\, was with the message\, not the medium. \;\n \;\nPut YOUR Business in the Winning 10% \;\n \;\nJoin Cinta Media Group for a free training to help your business thrive in the modern marketplace.
