What do most companies do wrong when they enter the social world? No, it's not that they're being fake, or don't "get it." It's that they don't really know their objectives. Is your company doing its social strategy backwards? If you started by saying "we should do a blog" or "we should create a page on a social network" or "we should create a community" the answer is probably yes. In any other business endeavor we start by figuring out what we want to accomplish. Social technologies are not magic. They accomplish things, too. It's time to stop doing social because it's cool. It's time to start doing it because it's effective. To help clients with this fundamental idea, we invented a little acronym called POST. It's been one of the most popular ideas we've ever created, even though it's so simple and commonsensical. - Peter Stinson

@nmhschool - for continued social media efforts... What do most companies do wrong when they enter the social world? No, it's not that they're being fake, or don't "get it."

I often watch TED talk videos on my computer while I work out. Last night, I watched Sarah Palin’s resignation speech instead. This was not an improvement. Perhaps, it’s not a fair comparison: Palin’s speech was political, TED presentations scientific or artistic. Palin’s an announcement, TED an enticement. Her audience partially hostile, TED’s eager. I say, a speech is a speech. Whether you’re a division head communicating a layoff, a scientist sharing a discovery, or a governor resigning (and preserving a platform for who knows what), you have the same objective: taking some thought from your brain into ours. Doing this requires three elements: - message(s) you want your audience to receive - words and nonverbals that tell the message - ways to keep us focused so that your message is absorbed - Peter Stinson

management scholars are now looking deeper into the effects of goals, and finding that goals have a dangerous side. Individuals, governments, and companies like GM show ample ability to hurt themselves by setting and blindly following goals, even those that seem to make sense at the time. These skeptics draw on a broad array of large-scale failures - the design of the Ford Pinto, the Enron collapse, the rash lending practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - as evidence of the pernicious effects of goals. Outside the workplace, these thinkers point to the unintended consequences of high-stakes testing in grade schools, and psychological literature showing that goals and other incentives can constrict our thinking. Even the scarcity of cabs on rainy days, some argue, illustrates the ways that goals can blind people to their own best interests. - Peter Stinson

Sure, Johnny Depp looks dashing as John Dillinger. Christian Bale makes a mighty fine lawman. And no one will deny the delicious sex appeal of Marion Cotillard. But the real star of the movie "Public Enemies," which opened Wednesday in wide release, is the brawling, bustling and undeniably beautiful city of Chicago. The film's director, Michael Mann, is a hometown boy who grew up in Humboldt Park and graduated from Amundsen High School. Obsessive about historical accuracy and a stickler for even the smallest details, Mann shot in Chicago for a total of 36 days last year, sending scouts to many of Dillinger's old haunts and filming, in some cases, on the very streets the bank robber once prowled. - Peter Stinson
