Social Networking in the Business World
Wednesday 3rd December 2008
Stephanie Peckham
Social Networking - the Magic view
Whilst networking is fast becoming not only an essential business activity but a “competency” in many organisational development frameworks, online or social networking remains an activity about which many organisations are still holding judgement.
What are the key arguments for and against? What evidence is there for either side? And what are business leaders thinking about online networks?
This event will provide some practical tips for the effective use of online networks as part of an overall networking strategy.
Stephanie Peckham of The Magic of Networking is a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD and holds an MSc in HR; she is a qualified performance coach, mediator and an enthusiastic and experienced administrator for a range of personality tools (MBTI, MBTI Step II, 16PF).
Since joining Magic of Networking in 2005 Stephanie has delivered many successful coaching and training programmes across a wide range of organisations and sectors, aimed at providing and enhancing both strategic and practical networking skills.

Feedback
This was a very useful event that provided food for thought on the potential of signing up to business networking websites such as LinkedIn or social networking sites such as Facebook. Stephanie Peckham was an engaging speaker as always.

I really enjoyed the session and the opportunity to see how HR personnel are currently learning about networking in the crisis. Good involvment and intellignet use of brainstorming and cross learning.

Made me think about what's "out there", about me, and to resolve to check it all and spend a bit more time on being strategic about my "brand"!

Interesting and very much enjoyed the interactive discussions. Would have liked more advice from the speaker on next steps to maximise use of online networking.

A very interesting and stimulating workshop and it certainly made me think more about social networking in a different way. Thank you

The session was interactive and interesting and I enjoyed the discussions on the different topics. I would have liked more on the benefits of using something like linked in as the only positive examples used were in recruitment, which is a niche rather than common use. I would like more information on using networking for lead generation.

Really interesting topic, has already made me think about ways in which this might be used for recruiting.

Good to have the opportunity to join in with interactive discussions, although found some people dominated these discussions.

Very good thought provoking workshop. Enjoyed the interactive section but would perhaps liked that bit to be a little shorter. Time whizzed past which is always a good sign.

Good idea - certainly helped to move people around & mix more which was appreciated by a number I spoke with. The discussion in the groups tended to be quite repetitive and overall I didn't think there was enough content. It is was still enjoyable and interesting if a little light-weight.
