Build the right internal team to manage digital

16th Oct 2009

In a PRWeek Op-Ed, Cohn & Wolfe Digital encourages companies to establish a cross-functional digital council to centralize the ongoing management and deployment of its strategy, policies, standards and ongoing digital training.

A digital council would enable a company to “digitize” the mindset – and skillset – of their people empowering them to effectively execute the company’s overall vision and strategy. The piece goes on explain how a digital council should operate:

• Appoint Digital Leadership

• Define the Landscape

• Legal Guidance

• Establish Roles and Responsibilities

• Understand the Company Vision and Social Media Stategy

• Benchmark and Measure

The ongoing collaboration of a digital council in managing the company's digital knowledge-base will help ensure that the organization is on the pulse of the rapidly evolving social media environment, and potentially ahead of its competition.
