Using Social Media to Improve Alliances September 30, 2009

ASAP Silicon Valley/Northern California chapter invites you to our first event of the program year - where you will learn from a panel of experts how to use social media tools and techniques to improve alliance effectiveness.

Many channel and partner managers are using social media tools ranging from Twitter and Blogs, to WebEx and YouTube to improve effectiveness and reduce the 'time to productivity' of new and existing alliance relationships. While these and other tools may seem overwhelming to many in the workforce, established and start-up organizations are proving they can provide a foundation for successful and productive alliance and business relationships.

At this event you will learn to:
**Understand and choose most appropriate social media tools to achieve your alliance goals and communicate your offerings to a broad market.
**Use today's collaboration and social networking technologies to develop, enhance and attain results from your alliance, partner and business relationships.
**Leverage technology (social media, collaboration and communication tools) as the infrastructure for your human network and business relationships.
**Demonstrate concrete ROI from social media activities.
**Improve the productivity and effectiveness of their cross-generational team and alliances through use of social media and collaborative technologies.
