SERVICE DETAILS
STRATEGIC PLANNING FACILITATION AND EXECUTIVE GUIDANCE
It's Your Mountain to Climb. But having a Sherpa can Help.
Leaders are responsible for determining the strategic direction of their organizations. When considering significant changes and/or venturing into new territory, however, incorporating an outsider's perspective can enhance success by limiting biases and anchoring effects, providing expertise that may be lacking internally, and sharing best practices from other organizations.
RSS can help you maximize your ability to define, pursue, and achieve your goals and objectives. We specialize in social media; however, the same underlying principles and guidance can be applied to strategically significant issues in other areas such as business development, human capital management, and internal and external communication.
We are happy to provide direct services or "over-the-shoulder" consulting, on either a project or retained basis.

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY REVIEW, DEVELOPMENT, AND IMPLEMENTATION
As we move further into the Digital Era, the need to thoughtfully examine and revise existing policies to incorporate new technologies becomes even more critical. There is no "one size fits all" solution, and simply adding a set of social media guidelines to existing policies is not enough.
We can help you determine the best approach and provide best practices guidance on what policies should be updated and how. We can also draft new policies, where necessary, to address issues, concerns, and responsibilities not covered by existing policies.
Given the risks associated with social media, and the need for education, we recommend and provide training programs for both individual contributors and managers to help each group of employees understand how the new technologies work, as well as their rights and responsibilities with respect to digital communication. We can deliver the material ourselves and can also provide "train the trainer" sessions and materials.
To learn more about our social media expertise, visit the Social Media in Organizations (SMinOrgs) website and check out the Social Media Primer developed by Courtney Hunt. The following resources demonstrate our knowledge of the policy area in particular:
- Social Screening: Candidates – and Employers – Beware
- Social Screening: The Expanded Discussion

Characteristics of approach:
- Comprehensive
