Interact 2010:Governing Social Media

The folks at Mitratech were nice enough to send me to Miami to talk at their annual Interact 2010 conference to talk about social media and compliance. This was the session description:

Governing Social Media: How to Monitor, Manage and Make the Most of Employee Use of Social Media

  • Doug Cornelius, Chief Compliance Officer, Beacon Capital Partners, LLC (that’s me)
  • Kathleen Edmond, Chief Ethics Officer, Best Buy
  • Scott Giordano, Director, Product Marketing, Mitratech
  • Janice Innis-Thompson, SVP & Chief Compliance Officer, TIAA-CREF

Corporate Communication takes on a whole new meaning in a world of social media, where employees can freely post their views and spread documents, photographs and even videos across the globe with a click of a mouse. Companies that are ahead of the curve not only have established policies regarding use of social media sites by their executives and employees, but also are finding ways to use social media to their competitive advantage. Join our panel to hear about the risks and rewards that a well managed approach to social media can bring.

Here is the slide deck from our panel discussion:

Governing Social Media

Social Networking / Web 2.0 Revolution

This morning I presented to the Association of Legal Administrators. They asked me to give the view as a lawyer, law firm client, former legal administrator and blogger on what law firms should know about web 2.0. I also mixed risks, policies and compliance issues.

The crowd was a diverse bunch in terms of how they use the tools personally and at their law firms.

Here are the materials, with references and links to tools I mentioned in the presentation.

Here is a link to my social media policies database.

Bentley CS 299

I spent some time this afternoon with Mark Frydenberg‘s class at Bentley University: CS 299 Web 2.0 – Technology, Strategy, and Community.

I talked about my perspective on Web 2.0, trying to show how 2.0 tools can be used to help you organize the information you need to do your job better and develop yourself professionally. My take on web 2.0 tools is that they are great for personal knowledge management.

Web 2.0 has some obvious uses for marketing. But that’s like saying you watch television for the ads.

My slide deck is embedded below.

I used Google Docs to create the presentation. It falls far short of PowerPoint for the way I create my presentations. On the positive side, I could access the slide deck from any computer and make an edit when I had an idea.

Upcoming Appearances and Conferences

For those of you stalking me or trying to find out when my house is empty, here are some places I will be this spring:

Mark Fryenburg asked back to his speak to his class: CS 299 Web 2.0: Technology, Strategy, Community. I’m going to tackle personal knowledge management. After all, that is the reason that Compliance Building exists. I’ll be there on the afternoon of March 17. I did a similar presentation to this class last spring.

Rather than the marketing aspects of blogs and web 2.0 tools, I’ll focus on how they can help you as individual in accumulating the knowledge you need to do your job and develop yourself professionally.

Hopefully, I can open the eyes of these college students. Don’t assume that the digital generation knows how to use web 2.0 tools any better than you.
In April will be heading down to San Antonio to an ICI Mutual Conference to speak about social media and compliance.

My presentation will focus on the issues that investment companies and investment advisers will have in dealing with social media. This will be my first time in San Antonio.
On May 6,  I will be speaking at the Annual Conference for the Association of Legal Administrators.

My topic will be The Social Networking / Web 2.0 Revolution. I’m going to bring my experience as a lawyer, law firm client, legal administrator and user of web 2.0 to give a better understanding of the web can firms and ways that firms can manage the use of web 2.0.
On May 17, I will be down in Miami at Interact 2010: The Legal and Compliance Technology Forum.

I will be on a panel with Kathleen Edmond, Chief Ethics Officer of Best Buy and Janice Innis-Thompson, SVP & Chief Compliance Officer of TIAA-CREF. We will talking about governing social media. The focus will be on ways to monitor, manage and make the most of employee use of web 2.0 tools.
compliance-week_2010 From May 24 to 26, I will be hanging out at the Compliance Week 2010 Conference. I’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the great agenda and leading speakers from the industry and government. I had a great time at this conference last year and met some great people. So I’m going back for more.

There should be some great compliance bloggers there: Francine McKenna of re: The Auditors, Bruce Carton of Securities Docket, Tom Fox of Tfoxlaw’s Blog (he needs a better name for his blog), Alex Howard of SearchCompliance.com, and Compliance Week Editor In Chief Matt Kelly
For a change of pace, I’m speaking at Pax East on March 26 on Bringing up the Next Generation of Geeks.

In my spare time, I’m a contributor to Wired’s Geekdad. The Pax East panel will be composed of a bunch of the GeekDad writers.

You can see my upcoming and past speaking engagement on my speaking engagements page.

Boston Bar Association Presentation on Web 2.0

Panel

The webinar panel includes:

Summary

I will start with my hatred of the term “social media.” For me it’s all about communication, self-interest, finding information and saving that information for later use. I have no snake-oil to sell, claim no expertise as a “social media expert” and have not written a book. My part of the panel is just focused on how I personally take advantage of these tools and where I see them going.

Nicole will talk about why you should care about intermedia.

Greg show how to use web based communication  tools as information resource tools and ways to filter the information.

Rex has the perspective of social media as an opportunity aggregator, looking at Twitter, Google Wave, blogging and blog participation.

Lee will end things by looking at the social business design for the legal sector and look at how some law firms are using web-based communication internally.
