23. A Possible Approach
A four step process for most companies:
– Establish a Social Media Steering Committee
– Use the Committee to explore and document the
current crisis management arrangements
– Overlay the Crisis Plan on the current position,
modifying responsibilities as required
– Secure approval from the Steering Committee and
integrate the Social Media elements within the
Crisis Plan.
24. Social Media Steering Committee
• Multi disciplinary (Corp Comms, Marketing,
Digital, Customer Services, Community
Management, HR, Legal,etc)
• Set Strategic direction, guiding principles
• Establish ownership, accountability, roles and
responsibilities (and what they mean)
• Develop the business case for funding if
required
25. Workshop Activity
• As a group, choose one of your initial
challenges that has the most relevance to you
all.
• Discuss and create an Action Plan that will
allow you to return to your companies, engage
with colleagues who have a stake in social
media and take your personal agenda forward.
• Feedback the challenge and the solution to
the Group.
26. Workshop Considerations
• Bring your experience and internal challenges
to the discussion – but try to keep solutions
general and relevant to all.
• Consider the perspectives and roles of your
colleagues in other departments without a
crisis management remit
• What about external agencies working on
your behalf
