Rainmaker Dialogue:
How to Get Great Performance Using
Social Media in the Corporate World.

Do you Need to do any of the following:

• Increase innovation and creativity
• Improve efficieny
• Create environments where staff can learn from each other

Business as usual?

• Do your managers know how to manage the internet generation?
• Will you attract the brightest new recruits and would you know where to find them online?
• Are your IT department enablers or gatekeepers and how much do they cost?

Driven by the networked communication, tools are flourishing on the web. Tools like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Not only is the way we communicate with those who benefit from our services are changing but also how we organise ourselves will be changed forever.

These changes mean business and they represent exciting opportunities to ensure that business is never the same again!

Forget the word “social” – what is happening now is a fundamental revolution in how we conduct business and sell products. Networks have always been around but the internet puts them on steroids.

Come and spend the day with Euan and leave with the answers on how to:

Give you competitive advantage in your industry by making you better informed about your customers and their needs
Make you better at running your own business by knowing what’s working, what isn’t and how to improve it
Give you the best chance you have ever had of being understood by your organisation and able to lead them effectively

This seminar will be held under Chatham House Rule

Rainmaker Days are a new concept from Erudyte following feed back from their clients and the clients from their The Speakers Company subsidiary. 

What was said was that numerous organisations, whilst they enjoyed and learned from speakers who were at the top of their industries, wanted more from the speaker and a closer engagement with the speakers’ experience and expertise to benefit their companies.

Given that that engagement could be consultancy, training, mentoring, tutoring, brain dumping with the CEO or board or other activities it is very hard to describe the offering succinctly.  Equally few board members will admit that their skills and knowledge could be improved on especially within their organisations even when things are not going that well.  Reasons can always be found for why things are as they are but it takes foresight not to mention bravery to ask if things could be (even) better and what it would take to bring that about.

For us one obvious route is to engage with someone who has “been there, done that, had the T shirt” and proved it time and time again on an international stage. 
As an executive you might not want to admit that you had been talking with such a person but if that discussion could be held discreetly, for example under The Chatham House Rule, might great benefits not be possible?

Lets face it your HR or Training department are hardly going to suggest to the boss that he needed upskilling or advice  even if they knew what those skills looked like.

What came out of all this was the realisation that if we selected some of our brightest and best – “The Rainmakers” and allowed them to host a small group (max 16) for a day, (with refreshments of course to keep brains up to speed) in a discreet and secure environment at a fraction of the normal price as an way of engaging with a rainmaker to experience both the process and quality, whether or not it lead to something more long term, this could be an attractive idea.

So was born the “Rainmaker Day” the next one is on 4th February 2010 and the thought leader that day is Gordon Lovell Read.  We have launched a new Rainmaker site (www.rainmakerscompany.com) where you can not only see more details about the Rainmakers but read their thoughts and blogs (feel free to respond or contribute) as well as news feeds relevant to the C-Suite and Boards.

If this sounds too good to miss one can book online at www.erudyte.eventbrite.com or Telephone Chris at Erudyte on 0845 094 1044.
