port your internal communication processes, there

metrics. We at Pokeshot///SMZ can provide you
with a strategic framework to help you establish a
successful social business platform.

Are you looking to launch an employee- or custom-
er-centric community? Or do you already have
one up and running but still need to establish ef-
fective, professional management? The communi-
ty experts at Pokeshot///SMZ will help you get the

Change Management
At the heart of every successful change or organiza-
tional initiative lies a well-thought-out management
strategy. Not having one would be like boarding a
plane that wasn’t inspected for safety and whose
destination was unknown. Experienced change man-
agement consultants at Pokeshot///SMZ will help you
successfully implement your social business suite.
Social Business and Collaboration
Review
Companies select their social business platform
based on specific vision and goals. However, the
world keeps turning, which might very well give rise
to changes in these visions and goals. In general,
the aim should be to achieve the highest possible
level of use and acceptance of the social business
platform among staff and partners. Here companies
should ask themselves: „Do we have the right vision
and the right goals? Where are we today in terms
of realizing our vision and goals?“ A social business
review enables you to answer precisely these ques-
tions. The experts at Pokeshot///SMZ provide solid,
independent insights into the performance of your
social business initiative.
