Spot the analogy...

http://leeaase.me/WhatIsTheInternetAnyway




When we don’t understand something, we instinctively look for analogies

• “What...do you write to it, like mail?”

• Humans always try to explain the unknown in familiar categories

• If you don’t create comfortable analogies your stakeholders will invent scary ones

• Good analogies • can overcome prejudice and misperception• resonate with professional/organizational

culture and DNA

To paraphrase JFK...• Ask not the intended purpose of the tools

• Ask how you can apply the tools to your intentions

• No one better at this than...


The Greatness of MacGyver• He’s from Minnesota

• Lack of resources wasn’t an insurmountable barrier to getting the job done

• He saw potential in everyday situations*

Key Elements• All policies apply in social media, too

• Privacy• Mutual Respect• Computer use

• Generally don’t “friend” patients

• Remember the “front page” rule


A Balanced Approach to Professionalism• Avoiding faux pas is important but cannot be

the only standard for judging professionalism in social media

• Professionalism is more than the absence of unprofessional conduct

• Professionals have a moral obligation to use available tools effectively on behalf of those they serve


#11: Social media strategies can help make a product, service or experience better


Dr. Sreenivas Koka


#13: Social media tools offer unprecedented opportunity for transformational change and productivity


Taking a page from Dr. Koka

• Time to create video: 60 min

• Time saved per call: 10 min

• Calls made April-Nov 2011: 90

• Total time saved: 900 minutes (and rising)
