In this session you’ll gain clarity on its meaning, why it’s so important for executives to understand if they’re going to compete, why it’s important for individuals in the social media space to understand for their career planning, and a clear path to get started evolving a business beyond just the veneer of social media. Plenty of time will be set aside for Q&A to try and tackle specific questions so come prepared!
