Hi Dave,
I’ve been working on a similar series for associations. We’ve been working through a lot of fear and confusion in the space. But I finally came up with a useful summary…

Trust your peeps to do the right thing, and help them define what the right thing is.

Looking forward to following your series.

I work in a federal government agency where we released social media guidelines for staff last year. We based them on the IBM Computing Guidelines – http://www.ibm.com/blogs/zz/en/guidelines.html

I just finished composing a similar document and one of the hardest things to deal with was creating enforceable rules while staying within the spontaneous, inclusive nature of Social Media. I’ll be very interested to see your thoughts.

Looking forward to following this discussion. Two thoughts.

1. I agree employees need clear guidelines and some form of training. Employees who are engaged and active with social media WILL advocate for their employer. I think ideally, we give them a resource to go through if they see a discussion or issue online to make sure the right response is provided. Sometimes issues need to be responded to by senior management.

2. A continuing risk comes from a lack of awareness of how public online content is. A teenager tags a funny picture on her unprotected Facebook profile of Uncle Harvey behaving badly at a family wedding. Uncle Harvey is CFO of A Very Important Company. A new investor googles Uncle Harvey before their first meeting and the picture pops up. There have been well-reported cases in the media where politicians and educators have been literally caught with their pants down. I do wonder if the corporate sector is also at risk here. Interested in your thoughts –
