Agenda

• How do you best facilitate effective collaboration in your organisation?
• Is the deployment of Web 2.0 and social media tools going to give your organisation a competitive advantage – or are they simply current buzz words?
• Which organisational challenges should you consider if you do decide to deploy them?
• Does your current communication strategy reach and impact all corners of your organisation?
• Is user generated content valuable and worthwhile?

These are some of the topics up for discussion at this afternoon seminar.

We have presentations from among others British American Tobacco, Talis and the Improvement and Development Agency as well as a couple of expert speakers: Daniel Siddle, previously at Pfizer, and now at consultancy Headshift and analyst Angela Ashenden of MWD Advisors.
