It’s been a busy couple of months and I’ve been unable to engage in blogging and twitter as much as I would prefer.To get back in the swing of things, I’ll be adding a few presentations I’ve given at healthcare conferences over the last few weeks. These are a glimpse into how we’ve been able to strategize, develop and launch social media into a large healthcare organization. The presentation below outlines an approach to integrating social media into a communications program. This approach as provided a strategic framework that has allowed us to collect content from across the organization, develop a syndication model and provide tracking and ROI to our key partners.

This is a glimpse into the overall approach and program but I would love thoughts and feedback.

Julia Taylor, President of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, will be joining us to talk about the Talent Dividend. What is the Talent Dividend you ask, why let me tell you:

The Talent Dividend (Link: PDF) is an initiative designed to increased educational attainment in the Milwaukee Region. The national organization CEOs for Cities have calculated that, for Milwaukee, a one percentage point increase in educational attainment will translate to between $1.2 and $1.5 billion in total income for the region. To help increase this attainment, there is a particular focus on high school diplomas and helping people with some college finish and get their 4-year degrees.

As thought leaders, business people and overall members of the community, this initiative is critical to our long-term success. Julia will share her thoughts on the concept, it’s impact on Milwaukee and how we can engage and participate. 

What: Likemind/Social Media Breakfast Milwaukee

When: Friday, May 21, 7:00 a.m.

Where: Rochambo, 1317 E. Brady Street

Soho UnGeeked EventunGeeked Elite is quickly approaching. You still have the opportunity to get tickets at the early bird discount rate of $550. For that low price you can access to 8 keynotes including Olivier Blanchard, Sally Hogshead, Scott Stratten, Jason Falls, Chris Brogan, Dan Schawbel, HubSpot and Visible Technologies. There are also over 15 regional presenters sharing strategic insights.

What is unGeeked Elite? It is adopting “with a twist,”  the nationwide trend of not only offering one or two keynotes over a one or two-day period — but offering you an experience similar to SXSW, Blogworld and other forums. The unique offering is around the format of this event. Short on presentations and long on questions and answers. The presenters are targeting 15 minutes for their presentations and then 30 minutes of question and answer time. The topics are broad, including a presentation I’m giving on the role and ROI of social media in health care.

Not only will you get takeaways that you can turn into action, you’ll also get 4 books, breakfast and lunch each day and access to private parties. You want to be here.

Food, friends, experts, books, and more…

Turns out I’m not a writer. Not by trade nor by nature. So video really didn’t kill the writing star because I wasn’t a star to begin with. I’m explaining my new approach in the video below.

Social media and digital communications are a way of life for me. I do it for fun and I’m fortunate enough to do it for a living as well. I’ve decided that video is the best way for me to sharing my digital experiences, learnings and insights. I’m looking forward to starting a conversation.

Phil Gerbyshak shared his experience in developing his personal brand and the tools he uses to maintain his brand both online and offline. He shared a key bit of information with all of us: “it’s not about the tools, it’s how they help build relationships.” Phil shared insights into setting up his blog as the hub of his online personality and how he uses different outposts like Twitter, FourSquare and Facebook to interact and facilitate relationship building.

Check out twitter and search #MKELikemind to catch a glimpse of the conversation.

Join us on Friday, November 20 from 7 – 9 a.m. at Rochambo as we continue to bring the online discussion into the offline, face-to-face environment. We’d love to have you. More info on the guest speaker soon!

Likemind Milwaukee

I’ve joined the international movement known as Likemind. Jeff Larche of Digital Solid has invited me to co-host the Milwaukee group and I’m excited for what’s to come. We’ll be gathering on the third Friday of every month at Rochambo Coffee and Tea House on Brady Street in Milwaukee. The get togethers will feature great coffee, excellent conversations and a handful of presentations from thought leaders across Milwaukee.

Likemind was started by Piers and Noah with the simple goal of bringing people together over coffee to have a conversation. Likemind is now a global movement that has finally made its way to Milwaukee. We’d love to have you join us. For additional details, drop me a line.

I’m experimenting with the wordpress iPhone app. I’m curios to see if it’s better to post using the app or if the relationship with posterous is the way to go when posting content from the iPhone.

I’m amazed to see the evolution and growing importance of mobile devices and access to information. I was thinking about this at work today and how we have an opportunity to tap mobile devices for access to health info. Working in health care I have yet to access info from my phone but we did create a mobile version of our site that allows you to find a doc, location and health info. I’ll share the results as we track the usage.

If I can post to my blog from my phone, why not be able to research a condition if I’m sick, find a doc and schedule an appointment. Another item to add to my to do list!

I’ve spent the last two months working on my transition from Typepad to WordPress. The process has been part of my hiatus from blogging as I regroup and redefine the purpose of my personal blog. I’ve also updated the feed to point from typepad to the new site so we’ll see if this works.
